Ambition
I guess Mr. Goldwater figures why should the lazy loafers be supported by people like him who have had the ambition and intelligence to inherit a department store.
我猜想Goldwater先生在想為什么象他自己那樣一直雄心勃勃要繼承百貨商場的聰明人要支持懶惰的流浪漢。
注:諷刺這位先生是表面上雄心勃勃,實際上也只是想靠繼承財產過日子。
I have the ambition to inherit some property.
我雄心勃勃想繼承一些財產。
追求男女平等的女人缺少雄心。
Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.
注:有雄心的女人不只是表面上喊著“要男女平等”,她們在努力去做事兒,象吳儀。
One of my boyhood ambitions was to become a doctor. The headmaster supported the idea. At least I had the handwriting for it.
我小時候的理想是當一名醫生,校長也支持我的想法,至少我有當醫生的筆跡。
注:醫生的字一般都寫得很潦草。
My old man had only two ambitions in life. One was that I should never follow him down the mines, and the other that I should run for President..
我老爸一生中只有兩個雄心,一是我決不能再跟他一樣下煤礦了,另一個是我應該去競選總統。
注:這個老爸想讓兒子一步登天,真是夠有雄心的。
