汉译英常见错误 | 将来自动化可以使人享有比今天更多的闲暇

[译] 将来自动化可以使人享有比今天更多的闲暇。
[误] In future, automation may enable human beings to enjoy far more leisure than they do today.

[正] In the future, automation may enable human beings to enjoy far more leisure than they do today.
[注] in the future 意为"将来",从时间上说和现在有一段时间间隔。又如:Would you like to work at the South Pole in the future? 将来你愿意到南极工作吗?in future(from this time onwards;for the future)意为"从今以后",从时间上看是从说话时起一直延续到未来。例如:You must be more careful in future.从今以后你应该更加当心。
