上海高級口譯漢譯英練習(xí)：卻少有實(shí)現(xiàn)

　　I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I’m praying they won’t be naive. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. So I’m changing my prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not.我們已祈禱了太多的安逸，但卻少有實(shí)現(xiàn)。

　　本期答案：Too many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom met.本句節(jié)選自《Growing Roots》

　　1.前半句中祈禱某物最簡練的表達(dá)就是pray for sth.

　　2.后一句中“少有”的表達(dá)，除了seldom，還可以用few,hardly,rarely來表達(dá)。
