這是福爾摩斯原著的英文一句,出自四簽名
Again and again I had registered a vow that I should deliver my soul upon the subject;but there was that in the cool,nonchalant air of my companion which made him the last man with whom one would care to take anything approaching to a liberty.
這句話在《四簽名》中文版中的翻譯是：
我不止一次地想把心里的話向他說,但是由于我的朋友性情冷漠、孤僻,而且不肯接受意見,使我覺得要想向他無拘無束地進(jìn)一忠告,不是一件容易的事.
個(gè)人認(rèn)為,翻譯中的“不肯接受意見”應(yīng)該是譯者自已加的.原文中只說福爾摩斯性情冷酷淡漠,因此“我”不愿意把自己的想法自由地向他說出來.
2. 后面定語從句的主語是One,One would…… with whom( last man）的意思
