Question

英语翻译
I had been journeying,though I did not know it,to meet the man whose influence over me was to shape and mould my life.

Answer 1

这句话选自Agatha Christie的"CURTAIN".
这句话中文含义如下：
尽管我未曾意识到,但我曾一直在长途跋涉（指心灵上的）,为的是遇见那个可以影响我一生的人/对我的影响足以塑造和决定我一生轨迹的人.
当然下文已经给出了这个人就是Hercule Poirot.
这里mould就是influence,只不过 mould one's life 会使人永久形成某种性格、态度、行为或生活方式,含义更深刻.
根据词典解释：
To mould someone or something means to change or influence them over a period of time so that they develop in a particular way.
