据1979年版《辞海》，第925页在“洪”的字条下有对“洪荒”一词的解释。
【洪荒】谓混沌、聣昧的状态，也指远古时代。谢灵运《三月三日侍宴西池》诗：详观记牒，洪荒莫传。
这不是现代人发明的词汇，但洪荒之力这个词却是近几年因为一部网络热播古装剧而火起来的，大意就是指是如天地初开之时这种足以毁灭世界的力量。
听到这里，学习英语的各位同学认为应该如何翻译呢？
报纸China Daily的报道中，是这样写的：
When asked whether she held back for the final， Fu replied， "No， I utilized my' prehistorical' power." What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semifinal.
根据话，洪荒之力被翻译成“prehistorical power”，基本是根据字典意思进行的直译。而CCTV NEWS的记者也采用了这种翻译，只不过改变了时态。在微博中，记者写道：
A new Internet meme has emerged after Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui reacted exaggeratedly to her personal best performance in Rio 2016 women's backstroke semi-final." I've been utilizing prehistorical powers，" she told CCTV reporter. Her comment has also become part of the meme.”
