subjective用來表示"主觀"
"There is almost nothing subjective about choosing where to land or take off from."

With Episode VII now on the horizon, excitement has reached a new level
"With Episode VII now on the horizon, excitement has reached a new level. Director George Lucas and many others did not feel the same kind of energy leading up to the first film's opening, however. As a matter of fact, Lucas felt so certain of failure that he went to Hawaii to avoid the first screening. He had no idea that his movie would be the second biggest moneymaker of all time, inflation considered. "
"Director George Lucas and many others did not feel the same kind of energy leading up to the first film's opening, however"
雖然猜得出來意思是
"當第一集上映前,當時Lucas和其他人都無法感受到如此的活力(如VII上映前的活力)"
但我又一直覺得這句話似乎也可以翻成
"Lucas和其他人都無法感受到和第一集上映前一樣的活力" (意思是第一集上映前也許就受人矚目,但第7集反而不是這麼一回事)
也就是說,其實我是已經知道答案了,才猜出意思,我不確定純粹是前後文的關係,或是文法或字的用法上有什麼地方沒掌握到

rendering
"I have heard up to four announcements playing at once , rendering all of them unintelligible in a hurricane of noise."
我對這句話大概的理解如下
"我曾經聽過四種廣播同時撥放,這讓廣播的內容像颶風的噪音一樣,完全聽不出來在講什麼"
這句話是否能寫成
"I have heard up to four announcements playing at once , that render all of them unintelligible in a hurricane of noise."
???
如果可以那我的疑問是,以前我一直認為子句的主詞和主句一樣才能拿掉連接詞,然後把動詞改成動名詞(render =>rendering),可是如果像這句這樣 "render"的主詞因該不是前面的"I",那為何能寫成"rendering all of them xxxx"??

US, Russia to hold talks on crowded skies over Syria
"US, Russia to hold talks on crowded skies over Syria"
這句話我會寫成
US and Russia hold talks on crowded sky over Syria
主要的疑問在於.
1.為什麼可以寫成"to hold" ? 那這句話動詞在那?還是因為這是標題的寫法?
2."sky"這個字我感覺我很少會用複數來講

KMT moves closer to replacing Hung
"Eric Chu said that the time has come for the party to make a painful, but necessary decision he felt responsible for, and apologized to Hung Hsiu-chu."
#裡面的"he felt responsible for"要怎麼翻譯?
我是先忽略這幾個字,直接翻成"Eric Chu表示現在該做痛苦但必需的決定了,並且像洪秀柱道歉"
#以下這幾話表達的意思一樣嗎?
1.the time has come for the party to make a painful, but necessary decision
2.It is the time to make the painful but necessary decision for the party.
3.It is the time that the party has to make a painful but necessary decision.

Chu apologizes over Hung turmoil
Taipei Times
Chu apologizes over Hung turmoil
[SAYING SORRY:The KMT chairman said a formal apology would be issued after the Central Standing Committee meeting, adding that a divided party would lead to failure]
apologizes over: over後接的是道歉的原因 Volkswagen Korea Chief Apologizes Over Emissions Scandal.
turmoil:騷動
adding that:補充說明
為什麼用"would be issued"?
在這邊用would感覺很像和"未來事實相反",但根據前後文我覺得因該不會和事實相反才對.
