法律英语中的“第三者和第三人”众所周知，法律上的第三人“其英语译名不是thethirdperson“而是thethirdparty“。那么，现代法制文学“下第三者文学“分支中的主人公（因此还有主人婆）即第三者“，该如何样用英语表达呢？有同志也把上述第三者“译成thethirdparty“了。但那样译是不贴切的，由于第三人“大于而不等于第三者“，或者说第三者“是第三人“属下的详细的、特别的个体。因此，就下决心睁大眼睛，从英语原作中去寻找第三者“的表达法。结果总算找到了thethirdman。可惜没有把它记下来存档归案，因此也就没有书面材料为此作证。前几天又看到了第三者“的英语表达法theotherwoman“。这回，接受了前此的教训，就诲人不倦，把上下文一古脑儿全都照录不误。谨转抄如下，以飨读者：Shealsohasamarriedlover，whichmakeshertheportlyofTheNewOtherWomanRichardson，47，aprofessorathisStateUniversity，ismarriedandsaysshehasneverservedasanyone’sOtherWoman，oldmodelornew.Ingeneral，shefound，theOtherWoman，oftodayisherpursuingapromisingcareerortryingtogetpasttheturmoilofadivorce.RichardsonfoundthatthishappedeventoveteranOtherWomenontheirthirdorfourthaffair.Thesinglewomanwhofallsin1ovewithamarriedmanoftencreatesaprivatecultureofSharedjokesmouthiversaris，“andascrapbookorphotoalbumthattakesonasemi-sacred“characterbyaffirmingarelationshipthatcannotbemadepublic.TheauthorbelievesthatthenumberofOtherWomen1ikelytokeeprising.Aswomenentertheworkforcetheyhavemoreopportunitiesforaffairsandastheygetolder，therearefewermarriageablementheagegroup40to44contains233singlewomenforevery100singlemen.ButthenewOtherWomenseemtobejustasdisenchantedwiththeirmarriedmenastheoldOtherWomen.Richardsonsays
