众所周知,法律上的“第三人”其英语译名不是“the third person”而是“the third party”。那么,现代“法制文学”下“第三者文学”分支中的主人公(当然还有主人婆)即“第三者”,该怎样用英语表达呢?
有同志也把上述“第三者”译成“the third party”了。但那样译是不贴切的,因为“第三人”大于而不等于“第三者”,或者说“第三者”是“第三人”属下的具体的、特殊的个体。

As women enter the work force they have more opportunities for affairs and as they get older, there are fewer marriageable men—the age group 40 to 44 contains 233 single women for every 100 single men. But the new Other Women seem to be just as disenchanted with their married men as the old Other Women. Richardson says
