英語中的“厚臉皮”如何翻譯，精準(zhǔn)的翻譯有哪些
通常，我們將那些沒什么羞恥心，不要臉皮的人形容為“厚臉皮”。有一次在一個翻譯文段中遇到這個“厚臉皮”，一時間不知如何下筆。于是只好按字面意思勉強翻譯為“thick—skinned”.英文釋義是not easily offended by criticism or insults.后來一查，果然“thick—skinned”是有厚臉皮的意思,但是也有點“感覺遲鈍，分不清好壞”。還有”thick skin”偏向“硬著頭皮”的意思，比如” To be a statesman, you need a thick skin”.
除了”thick—skinned”和“thick skin”，還有更加貼合地道的詞語可以翻譯這個“厚臉皮”。譬如；impudent; brazen; cheeky.以及have the cheek to do sth,甚至是shamelss.

拓展：
與thick skin對應(yīng)的thin skin倒是恰如其分的表達(dá)了和字面上的意思一致，是“臉皮薄”的意思。
Have a bad skin,生氣
