看来，诗作者 Emma Lazarus 对于 “the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land” 是有些反感的，不过我想，她还不至于用 shameless 来形容它。诗中的 brazen 也许是双关语，但要想把这双关语用中文恰当地表达出来，确实不易。

这里的 “brazen” 无疑是个双关语。仅就　" bold and without shame”　这方面的意思来看，与 “shameless” 也还是有区别的。" bold and without shame”　让我想起北方农村有句歇后语：“光着屁股攆狼——胆大不知羞”。这是对人的精神状态的一种描述。而“无耻”一词则含有强烈的道德谴责。用在这里过分了。

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

如果处理为“青铜厚皮巨像”或“厚皮青铜巨像”，能否多少把“bold and without shame"的意思表达出来？各位觉得如何？

对我来说，这诗太难翻了。翻译三聚氰胺和 PM 2.5 之类的东西则要容易得多。 能否把 "the brazen giant of Greek fame" 译为“耀武扬威的希腊青铜巨神”？ Emma Lazarus 是以 Colossus of Rhodes 为对比，凸显自由女神善良、博爱、温柔却又坚强的母亲形象。

From 1892 to 1924, Ellis Island was America's largest and most active immigration station, where over 12 million immigrants were processed. On average, the inspection process took approximately 3-7 hours. For the vast majority of immigrants, Ellis Island truly was an "Island of Hope" - the first stop on their way to new opportunities and experiences in America. For the rest, it became the "Island of Tears" - a place where families were separated and individuals were denied entry into the United States.

克莱蒙斯跟着问，我们知道基辛格见了中国国防部长李尚福、也见了中共中央外事工作委员会办公室主任王毅，他有没有机会与秦刚见面？

对于这一问题，谢锋表情轻松地说：“我们就等着看（原话是 let’s wait and see)。”回答完毕，他哈哈大笑。

“拭目以待”一词含有期待某事发生的意味，在德文解释'die Entwicklung aufmerksam verfolgen'中，aufmerksam这一词也强调了关注/期盼的意味 。
而“We'll see”则往往没有那份期待，而是maybe, maybe not。
比如我问朋友是否有信心通过考试，他回答说 We'll see，那就表明他认为自己可能顺利考过，也可能考不过。
在孙先生提出的记者问川普是否可能与某人会面的例子中，川普回答的“We’ll see”不应该翻译成“拭目以待”，而是“也许吧”的意思，这是一个模棱两可的回答。
