標題Re: [求譯] he was of his skill in riding him
時間Fri Apr 2 22:52:28 2010
A cowboy was as proud of his horse as he was of his skill in riding him.
這句話可以拆成:
(1) A cowboy was proud of his horse. 牛仔對他的馬感到驕傲
(2) he was (proud) of his skill in riding him. 馬對駕馭他的牛仔的騎術感到驕傲
也就是說，馬與牛仔互相為對方感到驕傲。
以 as...as 把這兩句話串成一句話就變成了原句。
我覺得可以翻成:
牛仔對他的馬兒感到驕傲，馬兒也一樣為牛仔的騎術驕傲，
更符合中文的語境就是 千里馬遇上了伯樂。
請指正。

: he was of his skill <--這種句型該如何解讀 S + be + of
