Inside the shelter, he latched the door, and looked around to see that his family was squared away. Now it began. The waiting.
see在这句中是检查的意思,译文是检查查询他的家人是不是就位。如何有个选择性是不是的意思。是译文错了吗?
to see that从句在此是looked around的目的状语,因此see的语义不可能是“看到”。此处的to see that=to see to it that, 意为“核实...、”确认“。英文解释为:
tomakesurethat someonedoessomething or that somethinghappens
译文应为:在防空洞里,他插上门闩,环顾四周以便确认他的家人已经就位。然后他们就开始等待。
