你沒有給出上下文或相關(guān)語(yǔ)義,直譯那就是“等待和安全才是更好的”,但是這樣聽起來(lái)太生硬牽強(qiáng),所以意譯才是良策.翻譯如下
“伺機(jī)行事和明哲保身才是上策.”是關(guān)于過(guò)馬路等綠燈的。上下文是：If you want to cross a street,you must wait for the green light.You must not cross in front of the traffic.If the light is yellow,you should wait.It is better to wait and be safe.If you want to catch a bus,you must be more careful Because it is very dangerous,cars or buses may hit you.只要那一句的翻譯就成此時(shí)“better”就要根據(jù)上下文譯了，那就是“等待和注意安全才是更重要的”，
