他们应该确保他们的感情没有被他人左右 Explanation: 原文可以理解为 "they should be assured that they still have a control over their own feelings"。 所以，也可以译成：他们应该确保他们仍然在掌控他们自己的感情。 |

peer agreement (net): +1要让他们确信“我的情感我做主” Explanation: be assured = to cause to feel sure 被动语态表示别人让他们确信，不是他们让别人确保。从语境来看，文章的主旨是讨论小孩的行为与环境的关系，周围的环境应该让他们能够有信心相信自己的情感没有为旁人控制。 Reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/assure |

他们应该确认自己的感情仍能够自主。 Explanation: be assured 在这里并不是真正的被动式，这种修辞学上（rhetorical)的“反身被动” 可以视为主动。 就像前句的“be expected to", 或是 "be supposed to" 等等，表示”“应该”但不具有实质上的被动语态。因为这类动词的直接受词可以是主词自己表本身。就像“I'm obliged to... (感激), "I'm committed to...", "I'm devoted to..." 等等的用法一样。 (Note:既然这里说明要有自己的主控权，又何须要别人来确保） -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2014-12-06 02:23:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's relevant definition of "assure" from Lingoes, which is used in reflexive way: 3 [~ oneself] a. 弄清楚[…],确信,查明,确定[of] I ~d myself of his safety. 我确信他安然无恙 b. 弄清楚<…一事>,确信,查明,确定 I ~d myself that he was safe. 我确信他安然无恙 He ~d himself that all the doors and windows were locked. 他确定所有门窗都上了锁 "He is assured that" 可视为 "He assured himself that... " 的被动语态，但是在意义上并非真正的被动，因此在翻译是应该不必也不须译成中文的被动式。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2014-12-06 04:01:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 所有原句可还原成： They should assure themselves that they do still control their own feelings. 只有用主动的方式解释，强调语气的“do”才解释得通。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2014-12-06 04:01:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- （Typo：所“以”） |
