出自西德尼 谢尔顿的小说《朱门血痕 》（bloodline）

一下这个片段就是，总的就是讲了让秘书去找人，但其中有一句翻译我不太理解

So Sophie had not found him in a nightclub. 直接翻译成苏菲在夜总会找到了他

是根据语境直接当作讽刺，反语的修辞来讲吗？

这个英语中否定的翻译，是不是类似于I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of various ways I have attempted to earn my living

这些英文从正面表达，中文从反面表达

下面贴的是句子的具体语境和翻译，求大神解答

"Where is Mr. Kafir?"

Sophie shook her head regretfully. "He has left for the day." She smoothed the front of her dress with the palms of soft, clever hands. "Can I help you in some way?" Her eyes were dark and moist.

"Yes," Rhys said. "Find him."

She frowned. "I have no idea where he could - "

"Try the Kervansaray, or the Mermara." It would probably be the former, where one of Hajib Kafir's mistresses worked as a belly dancer. Although you never knew with Kafir, Rhys thought. He might even be with his wife.

Sophie was apologetic. "I will try, but I am afraid I - "

"Explain to him that if he's not here in one hour, he no longer has a job."

The expression on her face changed. "I will see what I can do, Mr. Williams." She started toward the door.

......

The office lights blazed on again, and Hajib Kafir stood in the doorway. Kafir was the Turkish sales manager for Roffe and Sons. He was a short, swarthy man who wore diamonds and his fat belly like proud ornaments. He had the disheveled air of a man who had dressed hastily. So Sophie had not found him in a nightclub. 

　　“卡菲尔先生人呢？”

　　里斯接着问。

　　苏菲亚摇摇头，略带歉意地说：

　　“他早上就出去了。”

　　说完，她用细嫩的小手轻轻扯了一下前襟，然后停在不断起伏的酥胸前。

　　“有没有需要我服务的地方？”

　　她的双眸乌黑而湿润。

　　“有，”里斯回答，“把卡菲尔先生找回来。”

　　苏菲亚皱紧眉头，显然很失望。

　　“但是，我根本不晓得他现在在哪儿——”

　　“到东方饭店或梅尔马拉试试看。”

　　也许卡菲尔现在就在东方饭店，因为他的一个情妇在那里以跳肚皮舞为生。不过话又说回来，你永远猜不透卡菲尔脑子里在想什么。说不定他现在正跟老婆在一起呢！

　　苏菲亚很抱歉的说：

　　“我试试看。但是恐怕——”

　　“你就这么跟他说，如果他没办法在一个小时内赶回来的话，他的饭碗就砸了。”

　　苏菲亚脸色大变：

　　“我会尽力去找，威廉先生！”

　　说完，她向门口走去。

......

卡菲尔是土耳其分公司的业务经理。又黑又矮，身上的钻石和突出的小腹，使他看起来有几分骄傲。似乎是因为出门太过匆忙，来不及整理自己的行头，所以看起来有点儿衣冠不整。哦！原来苏菲亚是在夜总会找到他的。
