get to one’s feet=stand up 站起来
• e.g. • We got to our feet when the headmaster came to the classroom • (当校长走进教室时，我们都站起来了。)
over and over again=very often, repeatedly 反复地，再三地
What does the title mean?
The passage tells us a WWⅡ time story that an American boy, who delivered a telegram to an old Mexico woman， told her the news that her son died in the battlefield. • 如果标题解释为“You will live as your fate decides. I’ll live as my fate decides”, 这样似乎没能完全表达送电报的男孩 对桑多瓦尔夫人的同情。他虽然想安慰她，减轻她的痛苦， 但又无可奈何。因此，作为标题的翻译，不一定非要照文字 来翻译，可根据全文内容另起炉灶。 • 根据贯穿全文的是一封电报引起男孩的尴尬、无奈以及女人 的痛苦、悲哀，标题可拟译为：
The door was not a long time opening, but there was no hurry in the way it moved on its hinges.
• The door was not a long time opening= It was not a long time before the door opened. • Not表示否定，但在这句中是一种婉转的表述，而不直接说： The door opened immediately. • E.g. The film is not bad. (这电影不错。) • …in the way (it moved on its hinges) 中it moved on its hinges是定语从句，修饰the way。如果the way在句中作 先行词表示“方式,方法”时，可以直接跟定语从句而不用 带in which或that。 • Oh, the fish tastes delicious! Can you show us the way (in which) you cooked the fish? (噢, 这鱼真好吃! 你能向我们演示一下如何烹制这条鱼的吗？) Tr: 不一会儿，门打开了，但它慢慢地在铰链上转动。
