问题描述
Who should govern? 在网上电子词典例句里，翻译成“谁该被管理？”
请问为什么？不应该理解为“谁应该来管理？”才对吗?
老师答疑
黎老师：
Who should govern? 不应该翻译成“谁该被管理？”而应翻译成:“该由谁来管理？”或者“管理者应该是谁？”例如：It is the principal who governs. 管理者为校长。（摘自《英汉多功能词典》，外语教学与研究出版社1997年1月第1版）
W老师：
我觉得不应该翻译成“谁该被管理”，而应翻译成“该由谁来管理”。

They were utterly unfit to govern. 他们完全不胜任管理。
