不思悔改 meaning in English
remain impenitent; make no attempt to correct one's own mistakes
Examples
- But my ill fate push d me on now with an obstinacy that nothing could resist ; and tho i had several times loud calls from my reason and my more composed judgment to go home , yet i had no power to do it
但我恶运未尽,它以一种不可抗拒的力量迫使我不思悔改。有好几次,在我头脑冷静时,理智也曾向我大声疾呼,要我回家,但我却没有勇气听从理智的召唤。 - I found indeed some intervals of reflection , and the serious thoughts did , as it were endeavour to return again sometimes , but i shook them off , and rouz d my self from them as it were from a distemper , and applying my self to drink and company , soon master d the return of those fits , for so i call d them , and i had in five or six days got as compleat a victory over conscience as any young fellow that resolv d not to be troubled with it , could desire : but i was to have another trial for it still ; and providence , as in such cases generally it does , resolv d to leave me entirely without excuse
为此,我必定会遭受新的灾难。上帝见我不思悔改,就决定毫不宽恕地惩罚我,并且,这完全是我自作自受,无可推诿。既然我自己没有把平安渡过第一次灾难看作是上帝对我的拯救,下一次大祸临头就会变本加厉那时,就连船上那些最凶残阴险最胆大包天的水手,也都要害怕,都要求饶。
