To regret one’s errors to the pointof not repeating them is true repentance. There
is nothing noble in beingsuperior to some other man. The true nobility is in being
superior to yourprevious self.
错而能改,不踏覆辙,才是真正的悔悟。优于他人并非高贵,真正的高贵在于优于
自己的过去。
注释:
这是海明威的一句名言。句中有两处用了inbeing …… 结构:1)in being
superior to some other man 和2)in beingsuperior to your previous self。
这里 being superior to some other man 和being superior to your previous self
是动名词短语作介词 in 的宾语。
通常动名词短语是doingsth. (动宾结构),如是系表结构,则用 “being + 表语”。
“being + 表语”置于介词 in之后,大多表示“在……方面”。
