地道表達：

in one’s heart of hearts

解詞釋義：

此語出自莎士比亞悲劇《哈姆雷特》第三部第二場。哈姆雷特說：“我的靈魂深處就像你對我一樣。”in one’s heart of hearts現(xiàn)在是一個成語，意思是“在內(nèi)心深處，在心底里”。

支持范例：

I said I loved her, but in my heart of hearts I knew it wasn't true.

我說我愛她,可是在內(nèi)心深處我知道這不是真的。

In her heart of hearts, where the love should have burned, there was a blank.

在她心靈深處，應該燃燒起愛情的地方卻是一片空白。

In his heart of hearts, he sympathized with the strikers and hated this "scab."

但在他的內(nèi)心深處，他是同情罷工并且憎恨這個"工賊"的。

In his heart of hearts, also, he felt the dignity and use of the police force, which commanded order.

在他的內(nèi)心深處，他也感受到警察的尊嚴和作用，警察就是要維持秩序。
