We would run into each other around campus, … (Hillary, Living History) [原译]我们偶尔会在校园里碰上，……(希拉里，《亲历历史》) 上面的译文把 would run into 译为“偶尔碰上”，是否正确？
虽然 run into 的词义是“偶然碰见”，但是，这里的 would run into 表示过去的习惯性动作，所以不能译为“偶尔碰上”，应译为“我们在校园里常常碰面”。
would/used to 见 used to/would
would appear
It would appear that he is guilty. 请问句中 would 的含义。
这里的 would 是表示“不肯定”(uncertainty)。上面的句子可译为：他似乎是有罪的。(参见 would seem)
would care/would like
would care to 与 would like to 都作“喜欢”解,不知它们在用法上有无区别?
would care 一般只用于疑问句和否定句, 不用于肯定句。但是, would like 却不受此限制:
-
Would you care to come and have something with me? (Galsworthy) 你愿意过来跟我一起吃点东西吗？
-
I wouldn't care to live on the tenth floor. (PEG) 我不喜欢住在第十一层楼。
-
The Committee would like to see you again. (Cronin) 委员会希望再次接见你。
