這個持刀瘋子在幼兒園亂跑, 孩子們處于危險之中/冒著很大危險。
【英文對比翻譯】
Chinese Style The children were very dangerous as the knife-wielding madman was running amok in the kindergarten.
American Style The children were in great danger as the knife-wielding madman was running amok in the kindergarten.
Dangerous危險的,用在這里表示孩子們可能給其他人或物造成危險,顯然是錯誤的;in great danger 表示處于危險之中,冒很大危險.顯然這里是說孩子們處于危險中,而不是孩子們對其他人造成危險。
