原句：听到有人质疑她的才能，玛丽觉得受了奇耻大辱。（humiliate）

我的翻译：Having heard (that) her talent was/ had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

请教老师我的翻译是否正确？从句中到底是用was 还是had been ?

其次，标准答案是：Mary felt humiliated to hear her talent being questioned.

【答】我们比较一下网友的翻译和答案上的翻译，孰优孰劣：

1. Having heard (that) her talent was/ had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated.（网友的翻译）

2. Mary felt humiliated to hear her talent being questioned.（答案上的翻译）

网友运用现在分词完成体放在句首，表示原因很好，其实，用一般体也可以，表示时间上的紧凑，逻辑也能判断：“听在先，感觉在后”。但是，网友的宾语从句不能使用一般过去时，因为无法判断“被质疑”这个动作是否发生。

答案使用动词不定式，表示原因，也没有问题。

现在的问题是，“听到有人质疑她的才能”——这句汉语本身语义不明确，有歧义。它至少有如下4种含义：

1. 听说有人质疑了她的才能 （听别人说）

2. 听说有人要质疑她的才能（听别人说）

3. 听说有人正在质疑她的才能（听别人说）

4. 听到有人正在质疑她的才能（本人亲耳听到）

因此，它至少有16种翻译：

1. Having heard (that) her talent had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

2. Having heard (that) her talent would be questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

3. Having heard (that) her talent was being questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

4. Having heard her talent being questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

5. Hearing (that) her talent had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

6. Hearing (that) her talent would be questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

7. Hearing (that) her talent was being questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

8. Hearing her talent being questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

9. Mary felt humiliated to hear that her talent had been questioned.

10. Mary felt humiliated to hear that her talent would be questioned.

11. Mary felt humiliated to hear that her talent was being questioned.

12. Mary felt humiliated to hear her talent being questioned.

13. When she heard (that) her talent had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

14. When she heard (that) her talent would be questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

15. When she heard (that) her talent was being questioned, Mary felt humiliated.

【结论】网友的句子很好：Having heard (that) her talent had been questioned, Mary felt humiliated. 答案的翻译也正确。
