請幫忙翻這一句{牧羊人沉默了一會兒…}贈送二十點。謝謝！

版大:

Evil Panda 認為中翻英最重要的就是翻到精華而非字字照翻; 最重要是句子得通順優美; 如下:

牧羊人沉默了一會兒以後，就對兩個兒子說：「只要你們想，你們也能飛起來。」
After a brief moment of silence, the shepherd said to his two sons, "As long as you believe, you too can fly".

希望有幫到您...

靈活中翻英

謝謝兩位大師...小弟之所以用 "you too"的確是因為跟earlier context做比較

Thank you ^ ^

005 與 006 文法是錯誤的

“Shepherd silent child of two sons, said:” As long as you want, and you can fly. “

Shepherd after a silence, it's two sons, said: as long as you want, 「introduction you can fly. 」

牧羊人沉默了一會兒以後，就對兩個兒子說：「只要你們想，你們也能飛起來。」

>> The shepherd thought for a moment, then, said to his two sons, "As long as you wish, you two can fly without question."


大同小異
參考看看 (have funs in learning English)若有些字連在一起，請把它再分開。

I believe the use of "too" has to do with earlier context. Add two more points for two thumbs up.

"...................you can even fly."
Panda大翻得真美，只是覺得將too改為even較妥
因這是假設語氣
Anyway,贈點啦！

The shepherd thought for a while, then told his sons. "If you wish hard enough, You can fly too."

Sorry, you can't use "silenced", because it doesn't make sense. It's not correct grammar.

The shepherd silenced for a while, tell his sons. "If you wish for it, you can fly, too."
