Question

请英语达人翻译

he once again allowed his own ignorance of the situation and the person to colour his outlook, I exerted ruthless self-restraint over myself before the hold on my tongue grew too feeble to control and the unflinching defence of Rose became an awareness that I could not dispute.

Answer 1

参考译文：
...... 他为了使自己的生活富有光彩，又一次对此事此人故作罔闻。我竭尽全力管住自己的嘴巴不致言语失控，打定主意要为罗思（Rose）一争高低。

追问

最後一句我是这样理解，你看对吗？

"以防管不住自己的唇舌，坚决地维护萝丝，我很清楚自己根本无法抵抗保护她的欲望。"

追答

如果你后面的整段翻译是“[我竭尽全力自我约束]以防管不住自己的唇舌，[为的是]坚决地维护萝丝。我很清楚自己本就该保护她”也是可以的。an awareness that I could not dispute 意思是“我很清楚自己[对此]不持异议”，并无“抵抗......的欲望”的意思。
