風水世家裏面講的一句話，請幫忙翻成英文，好嗎？謝謝。

如果您這句話是以聖經馬太福音18：6為背景：Matthew 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

那麼就可以翻譯成：

I believe strongly that no one shall separate us; otherwise God would not have joined us together. (由於要保留“除非”一詞，此翻譯多多少少帶點中式英語的味道)

抱歉，是“否則”；不是“除非”。

再一次仔細檢查之後，發現“joined together”的翻譯十分不恰當。特在此向版主致歉。

在我所引用的經文中，“joined us together”的意思是“結合”；換句話說，是用在已婚夫妻關係上。與版主的原意有違。比較合適的翻譯是“...brought us together”。

I believe strongly
that no one will separate us
otherwise (adv)
the joined-together result
would not have happened,
but for God's sake.
(The subjunctive mood without "If".)

「我堅信，沒有人可以把我們分開，否則老天爺也不會安排我們兩個人認識。」

這句話, 前半部是直說語氣, 後半部是與過去事實相反的假設語氣.
也就是說, 如果翻譯時沒把後半部以假設語氣來處理, 就是錯誤了.

翻譯如下:

I firmly trust that nobody can put us apart, or God wouldn't have made
us meet.

別想得那麼深奧, YT大師建議移除「風水世家裏面講的」字樣, 只是希望把英文問題回歸英文, 免得讓許多網友因恐涉及不夠專業的領域而怯於回答而已.

I firmly believe that no one can separate us, God will not arrange the two of us recognize

希望對你有幫助

I never believe that there is anyone who can make us part. If there is, God will surely not let us meet each other.

(｡・д・｡)ﾌ We are too stupid to understand Mr Tsai. There is a hidden English message in his post indeed, which we can comprehend only if we have high enough intelligence to decode it.

更正:
I have never believed that there is anyone who can make us part. If there is, God will surely not let us meet each other.

改成present perfect tense來強調從未相信過有人能分開我們的事實。

I think Mr. Tsai is trying to say something...I just can't quite put my finger on it.

His expertise is English and yet he can achieve such without saying a word of English while employing tactics for national security and military.

Darn...that is something I must learn.

I truly believe that no one could break us apart. Otherwise, fate wouldn't have brought us together to begin with.

因為 God 在西方文化是代表上帝
我想東方文化內的老天爺不一定是代表上帝
所以我覺得英文內把老天爺翻成 fate 比較恰當˙
再說˙ Fate brought us together 是美國人常說的一句話˙

你可以自己把 Fate 換成 God

Could vs. Can

用 could 表示懷疑性質或是詢問性質
