关于until now 的翻译.很难理解的话.
Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death."
这句doctor的后的定语从句怎么理解呢?
我的理解是直到现在,他们还坚持认为.即隐含的意思就是they still insist that.now.
但是,有人解释为,他们过去这么认为,但现在不这么认为了,即they do not insist that.now.
回答的好追加分数.
本来我倒是理解清晰的,做了个真题补充的模拟题,题目如下：The doctor mentioned by Nancy：
A.are using high doses of drugs
.
D.are worried about the negative effect of high drug dosages
答案是A,所以有些困惑,还是说这题本来就有出处,毕竟不比真题来得完善.
但是,又想了下,如果那些医生还坚持不使用大剂量观点,那么他们根本不需要保护啊.他们没有协助病人自杀.
