英语阅读题,
Chaplin raises his thick black eyebrow or hells his eyes.He straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air.He hides behind a fat lady or creeps under a table to escape from his enemies.Trying to be brave,he faints away on the floor.He pretends to be what he is not and never could be a rich,successful,important man.It is the secret of Chaplin's huge success.
The secrct of Chaplin's sucecss is that he created a character who ______.
A,faints away on the floor,trying to be bravc
B.behaves as if he was a successful,important richman.
C.straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air
D,hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escapc from his enemies.
可是这个选项的意思不是恰好跟文章的意思相反吗?He pretends to be what he is not and never could be a rich,successful,important man ,他假装他永远不能成为一个富有,成功,重要的人.
我翻译错了吗?
He pretends to be what he is not and never could be a rich,successful,important man ,他假装他永远不能成为一个富有,成功,重要的人.
这样的意思与B选项不符合啊,
是的,我觉得楼主的确把原句翻译错了.
我觉得 He pretends to be what he is not and never could be a rich,successful,important man 这句话的意思是:“他假装成一个他本来就不是,而且永远也当不成的富人、成功人士,或者重要人物.”
我个人觉得,这个错并非楼主的错,而是原文漏了一个连字号 (hypen).如果把原句改成下面这样,应该便不会产生歧异了:
He pretends to be what he is not and never could be - a rich,successful,important man.
以上所述,纯属个人理解.请高手指正!
再问: is not and never could 这不是否定吗?
再答: is not 和 never could be 都是否定。所以把它们前面的 what 字连在一起,便成了 what he is not 和 what he never could be 先不理会 "and never could be" 这一部份。那麼 what he is not 的意思是“他所不是的那样”,而这裏的“那样”所指的,就是後面那一堆 "a rich, successful, important man"。也就是说,“他所不是的富人、成功人士,或重要人物” 然後,再加上句子最前面的 He pretends to be,整句的意思便是:“他假装成他所不是的富人、成功人士,或重要人物” 至於 "and never could be" 那部份,也可以用同样方式去理解。 所以,整句话就是在说,他本来不是富人,也不是成功人士,更不是重要人物,而且也永远都成不了这类人物,但他假装成是这些人物,这就是他成功的秘密。
