Thank you very much! Thank you! I'm sorry to inform you that it is just a man's name, who is the husband of the role be interviewed, and the word "Hans" appears only twice in the whole article. But factually, my client had not told me about this, so it led to some misunderstandings. I'm sorry. Thank you again!

��ֱ��. For heaven's sake... More context needed please. Can you give us the source. What is the book, who is the author, who are the characters, etc. Maybe someone can help. Post in English Mono?

I think this is off the target. Asker is a real translator, and doesn't need us to translate "scared" here. Can anybody "dig the literary reserve" and find the ���about Hans?
chica nueva Jan 4, 2005:
I guess you don't really need a translation of 'scared'? Just the question about Hans���ֵú�ͻȻ?

FYI

Hans是德国人或荷兰人的绰号,如果文中HANS不是具体指某人,不妨往这一方向考虑。

I searched on google and found no evidence that Hans is scared is a set expression.
如果Hans 是文章中的一个人物, 就直译好了。
如果Hans 出现得很突兀, 则有两种可能: 1)有典故, Hans是某名著中的人物, 应译为就象.....书中的Hans 那样的人 2)无典故, Hans 相当于John, Tom, 也就是相当于中文的张三李四什么的。

大胆推导, 但愿能起提示作用:

Hans 是个极普通的名字, 就像中文的张勇, 王强,李刚之类, 喻指普通人, 或说淹到人堆里没人认识的那种人. 说话的人的意思是, 也许将来她会看上一个普通人, 而对方可能会被吓着. 这是一种受盛名之累的无奈.

这是我在缺乏背景材料的情况下的一种合理想象. 但愿这不是\"空穴来风\".
