请问quarters在这句话里是什么意思?
原句是"We are justtrying to help here," she says."I have heard that refrainfrom too many organizations and too many quarters wherethat help is actually doing harm so,I'm under no illusion that just thewill to do something good (is) enough.
别的都可以理解,就是quaters似乎从字典里找不出适合语境的解释,请问怎么解释好呢?
答
quarter 在这句话里的含义是“方面、组织、机构”,和前面的organizations 基本差不多,翻译的时候只要替换一个近义词即可,比如“太多的组织和太多的机构”嗯，这个好像解释得通，但是就是愁在字典里找不到这个意思……柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典，quarter的第8个释义，我是在iciba里查到的。
