标题Re: [求译] he was of his skill in riding him
时间Fri Apr 2 22:52:28 2010
A cowboy was as proud of his horse as he was of his skill in riding him.
这句话可以拆成:
(1) A cowboy was proud of his horse. 牛仔对他的马感到骄傲
(2) he was (proud) of his skill in riding him. 马对驾驭他的牛仔的骑术感到骄傲
也就是说，马与牛仔互相为对方感到骄傲。
以 as...as 把这两句话串成一句话就变成了原句。
我觉得可以翻成:
牛仔对他的马儿感到骄傲，马儿也一样为牛仔的骑术骄傲，
更符合中文的语境就是 千里马遇上了伯乐。
请指正。
