It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others.我觉得可以代替成ones,因为是泛指,复数。
刘老师:
It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others.
【翻译】奇怪的是,我们自己的过错远不如别人的过错可恶。(自己的过错比别人的过错更容易原谅。)
【分析】
1. It is curious that ...should...是一个虚拟语气句。
2. 比较级形式:so much less heinous than... 远比......不可耻。
3. the offenses of others 意思等于:the ones of others 或those of others,但考虑到ones, those, others都是代词,避免在一起混用。为了突出名词offenses,故为之。尤其建议尽量不要说the ones of others。
