误译：The tourist rumbled in the streets of Beijing.
正译：The tourist rambled in the streets of Beijing.
解释：to rumble 和to ramble 只有一个字母之差，可是意思大不相同。to rumble的意思是 to move slowly and heavily, making a rumbling sound，即“笨重的车辆轰隆地缓慢行进”。to ramble 的意思是to walk for pleasure, especially in the countryside，即“(尤指人在乡间)漫游”。ramble也可以当名词用。如：我们在树林中漫游。We went for a ramble through the woods.
“漫游”的第一个意思指“人随意游览”。英语除了to ramble以外，还可以译为 to roam, to wander。例如：这个年青作家漫游世界找寻灵感。The young writer roamed the world in search of inspiration.
“漫游”的第二个意思指“鱼随意在水中游动，或动物随意在地面走动”。英语可以译为 to roam。例如：大象通常允许在这个印度城市漫游。The elephant is usually allowed to roam in this Indian city.
“漫游”的第三个意思指手机离开注册的服务区到另一个区域后，通过网络进行通信联络的功能。英语可以译为 roaming call。例如：有时候我利用手机漫游，但是贵得吓死人。Sometimes I made a roaming call but it was outrageously expensive.
“(手机)漫游费”可以译为roaming fee, roaming charge。例如：高昂的漫游费已经引起中国消费者的抱怨。High roaming fees have drawn complaints from Chinese consumers.
