hope against hope 不是希望与希望对抗

Feeling jumpy, Harry set off, hoping against hope he'd be able to find a way out of there. 误译：哈利感到毛骨悚然，要赶快离开那里。他用希望对抗希望，但愿能摸出去。 正确：哈利感到毛骨悚然，要赶快离开那里。他心中抱着一线希望，但愿能摸出去。 说明：“hope against hope”的英文释义是：to hope very strongly that something will happen, although you know it is not likely，即“抱着万一的希望，存一线希望”。
