I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
本句出自2016年高考英语北京卷阅读理解A。请老师解释句中的teach myself a respectful profession,这是双宾语吗?说不通啊!句子如何翻译呢?感谢老师的解答!
▲我认为,句中的respectful profession 有误,应改为:respectable profession。在本句的含义是“受人尊重的职业;体面的职业”,而不是“有礼貌的职业;尊重他人的职业”。
▲teach可以接双宾语,teach oneself sth. 意为:“自学某事”。“自己教自己”就意味着“自学”。又如:I taught myself maths. 我自学了数学。
teach myself a respectable profession 等于:learn a respectable profession for myself
“自学获得一门受人尊重的职业(如医学、法律、工程、教学等)”
▲I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectable profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
【翻译】我想证明,我不用上大学就能自学获得一门受人尊重的职业,并且,如果不比我的竞争对手好的话,至少也要一样好。
【词义辨析】respectful 和 respectable:这两个词语的根本区别在于,前者是“尊重他人的”,后者是“受他人尊重的”。
以下内容来自《柯林斯》
respectful:尊重人的;有礼貌的;恭敬的
If you are respectful, you show respect for someone.
respectable:体面的;可敬的;正派的
Someone or something that is respectable is approved of by society and considered to be morally correct.
以下内容来自《词海》
这两个形容词均可表示“可尊敬的”之意。
respectable: respectable 指因品质、人格或身份等高尚或高贵而受到他人的尊敬。
respectful: respectful 指对人表示尊敬或敬意。

回答如下:
参考译文:我想证明我不上大学,也能通过自学获得一门受人尊敬的职业,即是不必我的竞争者更优秀,也至少和他们一样优秀。
注意短语:
某人(A)+ be jus as good as ,if not better than+ 某人(B)
如果A不比B更优秀,那么A是少和B一样优秀
