English term

a NERDY cat

English to Chinese Art/Literary Poetry & Literature 儿童文学
Don’t get me wrong. Most cats are naturally intelligent. But I had noted that XXX was far brainier than most of the cats I had met. I suppose you could call him a NERDY cat.
这里有些不解,为什么前面说它聪明,后面又说是书呆子猫?请教如何翻译更确切。

书呆子猫/学霸猫

前文说的是“猫天生聪明”...“这只猫远比我见过的其他猫更聪明”

所以简单说“聪明”已经不够了

“猫中学霸”

nerd不只是“书呆子”的意思,还指那种非常聪明、学习很厉害的人,文中此处明显是个褒义词。这个答案其实Frank Feng已经说过了,只是个人觉得联系上下文,翻译为“猫中学霸”比“学霸猫”更为流畅。
