书呆子用英语怎么说？
pedant 书呆子（我觉得对的翻译）
geek 书呆子 （BBC的一期节目）

我把BBC这期节目部分转载在这里：
Jo: Today’s word is geek – G.E.E.K. – geek.
Jean: Geek. Geek是个什么东西呢？
Jo: A geek is a boring, unfashionable person. It’s a negative word.
Jean: OK知道了。Geek在英语口语里有点贬义词的性质，就是用来形容那种比较执着钻研学问、不太管别的事情书呆子气的人。那一般英国人怎么用这个词呢？
Jo: Well, you could say ‘her new boyfriend is a real geek’. You mean he’s boring, unfashionable, so you don’t approve or like him.
Jean: I see.
Insert
A : How’s your brother?
B: Fine, but he’s a geek. He dresses like my grandfather and just sits in front of the computer all day long.
Jo: My neighbour is a geek, Jean.
Jean: Really Jo?
Jo: Yes. His clothes are very out of fashion. He never does anything either.
Jean: So what does he do all day?
Jo: He just plays computer games all day long. I don’t think he realises what a geek he is.
Jo: Perhaps you should tell him?
Jo: Well I’m not sure about that! Anyway, let’s recap. Geek is a negative word for someone who is boring and unfashionable.
Jean: 好了让我们再回顾一下今天学到的新词吧。Geek就是指那种不爱和别人交往内向孤僻的人。Well, it looks like we don’t have any more time.
Jo: Yes, that’s it. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
PS 其实吧，我觉得BBC把geek说成书呆子不太正确，geek只是‘呆’，跟‘书’没什么关系。bookworm这个词是‘书虫’的意思，形容人懂得多读得多，也没有呆的意思。
似乎只有一个词‘pedant'比较准确一些。pedant: a person who is too interested in formal rules and small unimportant details. 这个词的涵义有一点书生气的执着含义。但这个词是贬义的。中文的’书呆子‘似乎没有贬义，只是表示一种称呼人对被称呼人的无奈。
不管怎样，翻译本就不可能在语义上完全对等，geek, bookworm, pedant三个词你自己挑好了。
