请大家帮忙翻译一个英文句子

观棋不语非君子,
见死不救不丈夫,
接受大师指教。

但对我而言,能“观棋”已经实属不易。语言问题,不论中英,能躲就躲。
但 Lee Child在我的读书名单里,看到楼主在看他的书,难免驻足张望一下。
 
大师一批评,我觉的很有必要弥补一下自己的错误。
于是,翻看了一下中国英语语法,主要是高考前的笔记。发现有一条:
不定式做定语修饰宾语,和修饰的词语有动宾关系,则用主动形式表达被动意味。

He is the one to blame.
很少说He is the one to be blamed.虽然也对。

还有两种表达方式都常用,但意思不同。
I have clothes to wash.
"Do you have clothes to be washed?" The maid asked.

领教了,谢谢。
经你这么一解释,我回头又去读那两个短句子,越读越顺了。

看来我的英文水平还是比Lee Child差点儿。

没有捷径,只有学习,看语法,
琢磨,就是猜,猜过的,再去听别人解释,比直接得答案进步快,
练习,提高语感,

我有英文问题首先向母语为英文的人请教。
但这个主贴中的问题没解决掉,并且搞得对方很不耐烦,我就不管了。但过了一天,继续读这本书,读了三分之二了,还没把这个问题放下。

现在,终于可以释然了。

这是好方法,

因为语感第一,道理第二,

不一定非母语不可,最方便的是家里的孩子,即使不是母语,没事,是他们的日常用语,语感自然好,

模糊和微妙,是语言的自然属性,
 
上一本读的是Blue Moon, 不太好看,这本The Sentinel还好。浏览附件664829
Lee Child就一个Reacher系列,我只看了几本。现在也忘了看的哪本。

这类小说里,我觉得David Baldacci还不错。好几个系列,每个系列就几本。

我之所以从去年夏天开始喝“洋酒”就是看他的the gambling man,里面的人们没事儿有事儿都喝一口,勾起了我的馋虫。😄

嗯,很有道理。
我应该问我女儿, 但前些天她在做一个项目,特忙,就没打扰她。

遗憾,没听说过David Baldacci, 找时间看看。

我特喜欢Micheal Connelly 的Bosch系列。16430462602823817378190561432161.jpg

看海明威的太阳照旧升起,那里的人物各个浸泡在酒精中,特不可思议,TA们怎么如此海量。

Michael Connelly,唯一一个
我把他所有的书都看了,包括lincoln lawyer系列。
喜欢他讲故事的方式,也喜欢他的语言。
但看的他第一本书是Blood work,不是系列里的。
 
通常情况下,有关语言的问题,除了点个赞,俺是不敢发言的。
但前面诸位高手都探讨好久了,我就站在他们的肩膀上抖个机灵。

Take off the board 就是”干掉“
如果是其他意思,随后的那句
If one existed.
就没有意义,更无需单独一行以示强调。
(单独一行暗示swepper可能并不存在。这个可能会在以后章节揭开谜底)

如果把句子里加上两个单词
He or she would be the one for Reacher to take off the board first.
就好理解了。

但这两个单词是可以忽略的,因为只有Reacher去干掉他们,不会产生歧义。

The sweeper was the unknown factor. He or she would be the one (for me/Reacher) to take off the board first.
我的理解和你的一致。当然不排除有其他理解的方法。

这个段落是描述Reacher自己的心理活动,忽略主语及主格是一种合理的做法。加上主语及主格反而显得累赘。
 
如果这个句子写成下面这样,我就没有任何疑问了。
He or she would be the one to be taken off the board first.
这个he or she 是指the sweeper, 是干掉别人的人,所以是主动语态。

The sweeper是未知人物,可能是男的也可能是女的,但ta的首要任务就是清扫“战场”,打扫棋盘,把所有人干掉。
 
佩服,隔壁有个看很多书的大神。不知道如何做到的。转



这篇应该是读书目录trilogy的最后一篇。再过几天就是2020年了,the roaring 20's the JAZZ age. 虽然还会继续读书,虽然也许依旧会在科学的世界里忘却人世间的激昂与乏味美丽与哀愁,但,应该不会再继续贴书目鸟。三年的静心读书,三年的苦苦思索人生的意义生命的初衷,最后的答案就是此题无解没有答案或者说有无穷解就如一道初中时代的只有一个已知equation的三元三次方程,然,在吾欲上下而求索的过程中却偶遇inner peace. 是的,science is all about serendipity, 而这份inner peace就是人生最美的serendipity。

Through Two Doors at Once: The Elegant Experiment That Captures the Enigma of Our Quantum Reality. By Anil Ananthaswamy. 这本书大概是唯一的一本读过之后在不到一个月的时间内就情不自禁再读一次的书。虽然quantum mechanics的书读了很多, 虽然对double-slits波粒二相性Bell theorem spooky connection这些topics早已熟悉,但,整本书只是围绕 double-slits这一主题的书,却是第一次读。而在读过那些21世纪最cutting edge的double-slits实验数据之后,以逻辑与科学之名,唯一的科学和理性的结论就是对这个世界reality的fundamental level应有的真实与怀疑。卿本佳人,奈何做贼?on the same token, 如果这世界的真实性只存在于stochastic的sense里,那么,我们怎么可能没有forever inner peace?

anyway, 无论用中文还是用英文,我是无法写明白我想说的,人类的语言,和人类的科学一样落后在a disgustingly low level of form that matches homo spaiens impeccably, 所以,无需多言,开始贴书目。
