FYI Explanation: COPY FROM WEBSITE： 英文undertone是什么意思,undertone翻译解释,undertone中文意思 ...www.dacidian.net › 英语词典Cached - Translate this page You +1'd this publicly. Undo undertone. ['ʌndətəun]. n.低音, 浅色, 底色, 潜在的含义. 例句与用法：. There were undertones of relief as the visitors left. 客人走后大家都暗暗松了口气。 英英解释: ... 原文有误，应为undertones of incompetence undertones = IMPLICATIONS 潜在的含义，潜台词 也就是说，把人们分为MINISTER 和 普通人(外行)的前述的分类方法，是有点站不住脚的 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2013-03-10 12:21:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 另一个可能：with undertones of incompetence 只修饰 laymen， 暗喻为缺乏(基督教方面的)能力的普通人 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2013-03-10 12:25:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- HA，有一点力不从心的教徒是正确的，undertones 和 incompetence 之间是同位语，说的是一回事。 |

具有无力感的普通信徒 Explanation: ...神职人员和（所谓）具有无力感的普通信徒 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2013-03-10 14:41:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- “力不从心”应该是指有能力的人但是无法使力。在这里反而适于用来形容神职人员。Incompetent 一字本身可以当名词使用，所以按字面翻译大概意思是：有无能为力微词的信徒(or教众) |

请见下 Explanation: 完全意译了，仅供参考，感觉with undertones of incompetent是作者对laymen的评语而不是真想要修饰Laymen So are there two groups of Christians, the ministers and the so-called laymen with undertones of incompetent? 难道有两组不同的信徒？牧师和所谓的普罗教众？用普罗一词岂不已经暗指了他们的无足轻重。 |
