大半夜看到这题。。。 life-destroying,cannibalistic(这个是摧残意志啊,生存环境等)主语是封建礼教啊,不平等社会啊,残暴制度等等 eat human flesh;eat human beings, man-eating(这个是真吃肉)主语是鲨鱼,老虎类。还有饿极了的人。。。= =
“拿人“ 和 “吃人” 意思都是贪图小便宜 (to hanker after a petty advantage) ,“手软” 和 “嘴短” 都不是自觉理亏 feel oneself in the wrong ,可以意译为 It makes one feel himself in the wrong to hanker after a petty advantage.
