1 prevent to sth结构的理解

Catelyn could not pretend to surprise.' Alone?You know as well as | that you will never survivethe high road. 凯特琳难掩惊讶之情。“就你一个人?你我都很清楚一个人走山路根本是找死。

【问题】问题在第一句,我理解的是不能假装惊讶,意思是不惊讶。和翻译的内容不符。如果按照翻译来理解的话,只能理解为这种惊讶很真实,并非假装出来的,但 prevent 有这样的表达方式吗(这个句子应该是 prevent to sth 结构。句子出自,冰与火之歌。) 请问应该怎么理解?谢谢。

pretend to + 与动词同源的名词(表示动作),意为:“自认为”。又如:

There are not many persons who pretend to exact knowledge of the subject.   自认对该题目有确切了解的人不多。

来自《简明英汉词典》

Catelyn could not pretend to surprise. “难掩惊讶之情”意味着:不能装出惊讶之情 = 仍然有惊讶之情。

原翻译没错,很恰当。
