2(世博北京翻譯公司)5 make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. 但這并不能使人們感到太多不舒服,因為和你一樣抽煙的人很多。 分析:company 作可數和不可數名詞時(shí)的意義是不同的。作可數名詞時(shí)是“公司” ,而作不可數名詞時(shí)是“伙 伴”“伴侶”的意思,要格外小心。 、 61.He stepped right in after them, like it or not, and he was determined that nothing as petty as good manners should keep him from a chance of enlightenment. 他不管人家歡迎不歡迎,緊跟著(zhù)他們走了進(jìn)去。什幺禮貌不禮貌,他顧不得這一套。他決心不錯過(guò)這個(gè)機會(huì ),把 心里的問(wèn)題弄明白。 分析:enlightenment 在詞典中的意思確實(shí)是“啟蒙”“啟發(fā)” 、 ,但是在這里如果原封不動(dòng)地照搬,不僅生硬, 且不符合原文意思,這里就需要我們把它的引申意義找出來(lái),即“把問(wèn)題搞清楚” 。 62(世博北京翻譯公司).
