研英翻譯演練(9)

i have never been able to find in any man's book or any man's talk anything convincing enough to stand up for a moment against my deep-seated sense of fatality governing this man-inhabited world.

參考答案:

要點：in any man's book or any man's talk是結構，要提前翻譯。convincing enough to stand up for a moment against my deep-seated sense of fatality governing this man-inhabited world修飾anything。for a moment是“目前，眼下”的意思。stand up against是“面對反駁”的意思。

譯文：我從來沒能在任何人的著作里或談話中找到足以令人信服的證據，來反駁我有關主宰人類社會的、根深蒂固的宿命論。
