主题：求教：这一句怎么这样翻译？

Let nothing pass for every hand 在人间传递温情 Must find some work to do ; 尽你所能地去做；

实在弄不明白“温情”是如何体现出来的？我怎么觉得应该是“抓住一切机遇的意思呢”？

nothing n. 没有什么, 没什么东西 无关紧要之事; 无足轻重的人

我 觉得还好! let nothing pass for every hand 字面可以理解为：因为每个人的手让一些无足轻重的人＂经过，通过＂或者＂过的去＂－这不就是温情之所在嘛！呵呵！

我是这样理解的，如有不到请谅解，能力有限呀！！！

还是不大明白,可能我的语感还不到家。

自己顶以下。

你能不能给出上下文呢

一点浅见：

There is so much garbage out there. Be careful lest you should be misguided. I applaud CAVOK for pointing this out to all of us. Thank you, CAVOK.

"Let nothing pass for every hand 在人间传递温情 Must find some work to do ; 尽你所能地去做" is just one example.

Please read the poem in its entirety and you might get a sense of this verse.

Perhaps you can intrepret it this way:

"Let nothing pass, for every hand must find some work to do; 尽你所能地去做在人间传递温情"

I hope there is some Dickens scholar who can shed some light on this.

Things That Never Die

The pure, the bright, the beautiful That stirred our hearts in youth, The impulses to wordless prayer, The streams of love and truth, The longing after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry, The striving after better hopes- These things can never die.

The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need; A kindly word in grief's dark hour That proves a friend indeed; The plea for mercy softly breathed, When justice threatens high, The sorrow of a contrite heart- These things shall never die.

Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do, Lose not a chance to waken love- Be firm and just and true. So shall a light that cannot fade Beam on thee from on high, And angel voices say to thee- "These things shall never die."

by Charles Dickens

There is also an interesting thread about whether the poem was written by Dickens.
