问题：求英文翻译Itwasastrangeopposition,oft 
It was a strange sition, of the like of which she had never dreamed------an opposition in which the vital principle of one was a thing of contempt to the other.这句话怎么翻译？
回答：建议综合前面两个答案。两个答案对句子的结构和语义理解都对。渔夫对contempt的翻译更准确，不羁的风的翻译更流畅。所以后半句可以译成
一方认为至关重要的原则，另一方却弃之如敝履。

contempt大致是鄙视，蔑视的意思，比如富人说“那个穷鬼。。。”，城里人说“那些乡巴佬。。。”这样的口气就是contempt。
