95 你怎么知道別人不要做什么？

原 文：

You don't want to do that.

原 譯：

你不想要那樣做。

辨 析：

I don't want to do that譯成“我不想那樣做”邏輯上講得通，可是“你不想要那樣做”好像不太通，可見原譯有問(wèn)題。其實(shí)這是一個(gè)婉轉(zhuǎn)的建議，實(shí)際意思是“你不應(yīng)該那樣做”（指尚未做的事）。英語(yǔ)中提議對(duì)方做某事， 常常采用比較婉轉(zhuǎn)的口氣，如：I would suggest you don't do that, if you don't mind.（如果你不介意，我會(huì)建議你不要那樣做。）其他常用的辦法：

（1）改換人稱，如：One should not do that.一個(gè)人不應(yīng)該那樣做。指所有人，當(dāng)然包括對(duì)方。又如：Let's try the new method.讓我們?cè)囋囆路椒ò?。其?shí)主要是建議對(duì)方這樣做。

（2）用肯定形式：I'm sure you wouldn't do that.我相信你一定不會(huì)那樣做。

（3）用問(wèn)句形式：You wouldn't do it, will you?你不會(huì)那樣做，對(duì)嗎？Don't you think it would be all right to do that?你不覺得那樣做不好嗎？Are you sure you will have to do that?你認(rèn)定你一定非得那樣做嗎？意在再提醒對(duì)方三思而行。

（4）用虛擬語(yǔ)氣：I wouldn't do that if I were you.我要是你，就不會(huì)那樣做。
