[導讀]2010年口譯筆譯考試輔導:十秒鐘翻譯訓練(17)
    I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I’m praying they won’t be naive. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. So I’m changing my prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not.我們已祈禱了太多的安逸,但卻少有實現。
    單詞提示:
    encounter v. 遭遇;
    naive adj. 天真的
    答案:
    Too many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom met.
    本句節(jié)選自《Growing Roots》
    1.前半句中祈禱某物簡練的表達就是pray for sth.
    2.后一句中“少有”的表達,除了seldom,還可以用few,hardly,rarely來表達
