※ 引述《anisakis (海兽)》之铭言:
: 书名:必考单字600
: 页数:P1
: 题目:The sales associate gave his assurance that the missing keyboard
: would be replaced the next day.
: 疑问:The sales associate gave his assurance 这句怎麽翻译?
: 不太懂associate gave意思
不是associate gave哦,这样断句稍微有误,
其实应该看成是the sales associate,
这边associate当名词作「同事」解
所以翻译是业务同事保证…
: 感谢!
: 书名:必考单字600
: 页数:P1
: 题目:I felt obligated to finish the project even though I could have
: exercised my option to quit.
: 疑问:I could have exercised my option to quit 这句怎麽翻译?
excercise有行使某项权力/权利之意,所以exercise one's option是指行使其选择权,
而could have exercised这里用到了与过去事实相反的假设语气,
所以後半句的翻译是「虽然我原本可选择一走了之」
