Question

请问这个句子翻译的对不对，有没有语法错误，谢谢。

知道他被卷入这则丑闻后，我们很震惊。we were surprised by the news that he was involved in the scandal.

Answer 1

把by改成at
be surprised at....【对.....感到惊讶】
还可以译为：
Knowing that he was involved in the scandal, we felt greatly surprised/astonished.

追问

请问从句用过去式和过去完成时有什么区别？

追答

如果从句动作明显早于主句动作，从句该用过去完成时。如两者间隔时间不长或可忽律不计，从句用一般过去时。
故你的句子可改成过去完成时；
We were surprised ....that he had been involved in....
