<< review queue entry 79754 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> v2 >in spite of oneself My understanding of this phrase doesn't seem to match my understanding of 身不由己 For example, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/in spite of oneself : even though one does not want to or expect to I ended up having a good time in spite of myself. --------------------- Editor: after discussion. Ex. 1st sense: 中年的變，可以如趙寧一般，是自己選擇、心頭帶著甜蜜的，然而有太多的變，卻是身不由己，猝不及防，而「失業」，正是其中最可怕的一種。 長期旅居美國進行同志書籍翻譯，他的同志運動參與成了「身不由己的美國經驗」。He has now been in the United States for many years working as a translator of gay literature. His part in the gay rights movement thus led to virtual exile in the United States. 在全球競爭如此狂烈的新世紀，這場賽局似乎身不由己地被推向了決一死戰關鍵期。 不過雖然身不由己，但我還是有自己的原則。 只有中風可能在「身不由己」的沮喪中煎熬多年， 遺腹子的他，生逢戰時，一切身不由己，外在的困頓及壓抑，讓他渴求內在的自由， 數月前才在都更期程逼近下連夜搬離「走路」，暗示著現實中人的身不由己。 父親晚年說，他的一生全是身不由己， 一輩子都是外人，其中有身不由己，也有自己的選擇，一直處於文化衝突中。 因為人生越走越快，不知不覺的我們揮霍盡了青春狂妄的年歲，開始懂得人生太多時候身不由己， ----------------- 2nd sense 他只觉得眼前一黑，两腿发软，一下子身不由己倒在草地上。 1924年1月21日清晨，列宁撕下一页日历后，忽感体力不支，两侧太阳穴剧烈疼痛，便身不由己倒在了床上。 彩霞要二波晚上陪开旺，开旺醉酒回家，身不由己倒在二波身上， 我们时常身不由己地笑着，那未必是真的快乐， 当我看到这两个名字一起出现时，仿佛被戳中了笑穴，身不由己地笑个不停。 日常生活中，我们或许会身不由己地骂一声：“王八蛋。” 但看爱情片的时候又怎么会身不由己地哭呢? 所以骤然间也像是电击一般，身不由己地叫了一句。 我焦急地转来转去，脸上露出种种恳求，渴望的神态可没人理睬我，张独向我招手，我向她走去，却身不由己地坐到了另一桌上，旁边是那个篷发戴眼镜的熟人。 "With growing anxiety, I went from table to table with a beseeching look on my face one moment and a yearning one the next, but no-one seemed to notice. Zhang Li waved to me, so I headed toward her. Yet inexplicably, I sat down at a table next to the disheveled, bespectacled guy." |
