核心问题
I have no hope of going. [原译]我不希望去。
上面的译文是否符合原意?
词典解答
译文完全背离了原意。原文的意思是:我去是没有希望了(意思是:我希望去,但实际上却去不了。=I want to go but I know I can't.)。再看下面的实例:
-
I left the bag on a bus and I have no hope of getting it back. 我把袋子丢在公共汽车里了,我没有失而复得的希望。
-
There is not much hope that they are/hope of their being still alive. 他们仍然活着的希望不大。
[注意]I have no wish to go. 是“我不想去”的意思。
