“碰瓷”是不是翻译成“touch china”或者“touch porcelain”呢?不是的。这是个非常有趣的话题。请参考有些更好的地道表达。

新闻里报到处,总会有些最新出现的碰瓷手段:故意从人身边走过,然后把瓶子扔在地上,说是别人碰坏自己刚刚买的药,很贵的,然后索要药品费用。很显然,碰瓷的言外之意就是“讹诈,找某人茬”等,从其本意理解,我们就能很好的翻译出“碰瓷”一词。

用英语来描述这个“碰瓷”行为艺术,请参考这样的英语表达:

Scammers in China Fake Road Injuries, but Cameras Capture the Truth

The scam may be as old as the automobile itself: A fraudster throws himself in front of a vehicle and demands that the driver pay for his self-inflicted (or nonexistent) injuries. But in an age of ever-present cameras, it’s getting a lot harder to pull off.

There are scores of videos online that capture these scams, known in China as “pengci,” or “porcelain bumping.” The video above, posted last month, shows a woman in Yongzhou, in the central province of Hunan, taking the scam to brash extremes. After getting money from the driver of a car she had lain in front of, she boasts to bystanders and even does a little jig in front of the car.

如此看来,porcelain bumpers,碰瓷者,已经是英语读者里可以接受的表达了,那么,porcelain bump, porcelain bumping,衍生词,就可以使用了。而且非常形象的一个词。

还有些可以在某种程度上表示“碰瓷”含义的表达。,可以了解下:

1、用“讹诈,勒索”对应的翻译

Blackmail 讹诈,勒索;

extort 敲诈,勒索〔尤指钱财〕;

racket 诈骗;勒索

......等等,其实,骗,作为古老的生活艺术,有很多单词可以表达这个意思。

2、feigning injury,feigned injuries, 假装受伤。这个词,本来和踢足球有关,如果用在这里,会有些怪怪的,中国式英语爱好者,会比较喜欢这个词。

injury 伤害,损伤 feign 假装,捏造

例句:The incident enraged Benitez, who claimed that Robben had deliberately attempted to get Reina sent off by feigning injury.

这一事件激怒了贝尼特斯,他声称罗本故意以假装受伤的方式试图把雷纳送走。

3、Pengci 碰瓷。这个注定是要走向国际的词语。

很显然这是“碰瓷”的音译词,看其英文解释:

pengci is a kind of traffic scam.People will run into the middle of the street and throw themsevles in front of your car and extort money from you.

正式点的表达我们可以说:

Scammers feign injury in traffic accidents in order to extort money from drivers.

骗子以装作交通事故中受伤对司机进行敲诈。

此外,英语中有“fake insurance claims-假的保险索赔”或者“insurance fraud-保险欺诈”两个词,但一般这样的“碰瓷”直接涉及到保险的,也就是以欺诈的形式获得保险赔偿,意思接近“碰瓷”,但在中国,“碰瓷”并非都与保险有关,所以还不是很确切。

不知小伙伴还知道哪些关于“碰瓷”的说法,不妨分享出来,与大家一起学习。
