数量可观的一小部分儿童和年轻人 Explanation: significant确实看似与minority有相反的意思,但并不矛盾,它指的绝对数字未必很大,但是至少不可忽视。 楼上高人说的意思完全对。但是如果真要翻译这句话,从整个原句看,这一个短语还是整成一个名词结构短语好。 --Let's brainstorm. :) |

不容忽视的少数青少年人群 Explanation: In this context, *significant * has the connotation of *with far-reaching impact on the society*. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2007-11-07 14:44:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As in: ‘We are a significant minority’: Old Women in English Prisons I do think that they [The Home Office] should have a plan of action for what they are going to do with older women. No specific thought is given to people who are in this age category. It is given to sort of other categories - they don’t really think about people of our age group or the needs of our families. I appreciate we are a minority but I think a number of people you have to interview would say we are a significant minority! (emphasis in original) http://www.britsoccrim.org/volume6/001.pdf |
