in the luxury of cooling off是啥意思啦?
他采用很委婉的说法来说明黑人与白人之间的关系.所以,文中会有很多暗喻.
这段文章的整段是这样的
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
就上下闻可以看出,马丁路德金认为民主制在他们黑人哪里是一句空话,是一张白纸.因此,This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.这里,是在暗喻他们不要虚伪的渐进主义来拖延时间.而用了luxury(奢侈)这个词语来形容,黑人急需得到解放.
这里engage in 是一个短语(参加,加入的意思)the luxury of cooling off 直译是 慢慢冷却黑人白人之间的矛盾是奢侈的.
置于你后面说的 play a couple,这个也要根据上下文的理解才行.
这是一些固定搭配.
