译文[误]:没有人能够否认杰夫有点那个.

表面上看,译文和原句有点相象,但实际上意思完全不同.中文说某人有点那个,是说某人有不好的习惯或缺点.Something可以指代某物,但翻译时必须联系上下文.如Something seems to have come over him.（看来他有点变了）原句中的Something意思可以参见《英汉大词典》定义第5条“重要的东西”。

类似的用法如：I hope this time my advice will go for something with him

（我希望这一次我的劝告能对他起些作用）

在这句中指“与众不同的特点，尤其是长处”

译文[正]:没有人能否认/谁也无法否认杰夫很有一手/是个厉害的人物.

下面我们来看几个练习.

1 He has made something of this deal.

2 In three years he made something of himself.

3 That’s something.

4 There is something in what he has just said.

5He is somebody.
