首先,這不是一個(gè)很好的例句.這句話(huà)是一個(gè)翻譯公司先搞出來(lái)的,然后被好多中國(guó)教材抄了過(guò)去.這不是實(shí)際生活中用的話(huà).雖然它的語(yǔ)法是對(duì)的(除了life要用復(fù)數(shù)),但是語(yǔ)義不很通.where在這句話(huà)里的意思是"在那種情況下",相當(dāng)于in which (不是on which).
He had shown himself careless of personal safety in which the lives of his colleagues might be at risk.
他從來(lái)不把自己的安全當(dāng)回事,這一點(diǎn)會(huì)危及同事們的生命.
我翻譯的中文比原文要通順.實(shí)在不知道如何把原文不通順之處翻譯出來(lái).:-(
如果用其它連詞如when：
He is first of all a sportsman,tireless,and careless of personal safety when riding and big game hunting,essentially a man of action.
那么就沒(méi)有暗含的因果關(guān)系,而僅是簡(jiǎn)單的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)了.
