Question

帮我翻译一下谢谢

it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity.书上翻译是,也只不过是桥的总承载力的三分之一.怎么翻译三分之一啊,only be carrying 又是啥意思,还有she entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due,train was due是啥意思啊,

Answer 1

第一句，书上翻译的应该是对的。a third = one third，数次加序数词，表示几分之几，比如 two third 是三分之二的意思；

第2句，可以翻译为“她在火车到站前20分钟进站”。不知道跟上下文是否相符？

追问

train was due是啥意思啊

追答

"train is due" 我所遇到过的表达，一般都表示“火车将按照预定的时间进站”的意思。火车一般的发车和进站一般都是计划（Scheduled) 好的，due 在这里就是 schededuled to arrive 或者shceduled to depart，根据上下文具体再分析。

Answer 2

它将仍然只携带其总容量的三分之一。
it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity.

只执行
only be carrying

她走进了火车站前火车原定的二十分钟，列车是由于
she entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due,train was due

Answer 3

三分之一 a third of sth.
only 在这里起强调作用，表达桥的承重很高，仅仅，只不过的意思；
due 是到了预订时间，比如火车到点要出发等等。学生到点要交作业也用due

Answer 4

only be carrying (a third of its total capacity)
仅仅占于 (总承载力的三分之一)

before the train was due
在火车到达之前
