（1）Worse was to come. A few days later about 140 black people were taken and put on a tall sailing ship waiting off the coast. （《高中英语教科书》第三册，人教社，p.80）
[原译]更糟的事就要发生了……(《教师教学用书》,3,p.325)
(2) Those first words were to change my world. (SEFC,3,p.97)
[原译]我最先学的这些单词将会改变我的生活天地。(同上,《课文注释》,p.316)
(3) Cook was to be in charge of this expedition as captain of the ship Endeavour. (SEFC, 3, p. 8)
[原译1]库克将作为“奋力”号船长负责这次考察。（《教师教学用书》第三册，p.307）
[原译2]库克眼看要作为“奋力”号船长来负责这次探险队。（《高中英语重点·难点纵横谈》第二册，中国科技大学出版社，p.255）
我总觉得上面的译文不符合上下文，但又不知道如何译才好。请赐教。
我们在前面已经详细地讨论了 was/were to do 的含义和用法。根据那里的讨论,我们可以很容易地将上面的句子翻译如下:
(1) 后来发生了更糟的事……
(2) 我最先学的这些单词后来改变了我的生活天地。
(3) 后来,库克作为“奋力”号船长领导了这次考察。
[附注]当仅以某个过去的时间点为参照点时,例如在间接引语中,才可以将 was/were to 译为“将”“会”。例如:
-
What was to become of them all, he wondered. 他不知道他们大家(将)会发生什么情况。
-
They said good-bye, not knowing that they were never to meet again. 他们道别了，而不知道他们将是永别。
