中文原文：

我对如何理财略知一二。

错误译文：

I know a thing or two about how to make financial planning.

正确译文：

I know a little about how to make financial planning.

翻译加油站：

初学者容易望文生义，看见to know a thing or two就想当然地理解为“略知一二”。其实to know a thing or two的意思正相反，是to have practical and useful information gained from experience，即“因富有经验而熟悉”或“见多识广”。进一步有to be shrewd, to possess worldly wisdom的意思,即“精明”、“世故”。实际上，to know a thing or two about how to make financial planning的意思是“熟知如何理财”。例如：这位老人熟知股市。 The old man knows a thing or two about the stock market.

“略知一二”可以译为to know a little of/about, to have a rough idea of/about, to slightly know。例如：他什么事情都略知一二。He knows a little of everything.

虽然我对高尔夫球仅略知一二，但是我知道它是富人的体育运动。I know only a little about golf, but I know it is a sport for the rich.

“略略”、“略微”、“稍稍”和“稍微”可以译为slightly, a little, a bit, somewhat。例如：食油价格已经略微上涨。

1) The price of cooking oil has slightly risen.

2) The price of cooking oil has risen a little.

他们稍稍改善了工作条件。They have slightly improved their working conditions.
