英语翻译
They were not about to change their tastes and habits just because of a change in the law.
这句话的正确翻译是:他们不会因为法律的改变,而去改变自己的喜好与习惯.(否定转移)
我想问的是,这句话为什么不可以这样翻译呢?——他们不会因为法律的改变,才去改变自己的喜好与习惯.(意思是不管法律改不改变,他们都会去改变他们的喜好和习惯).
请问我哪里理解错了啊?是were about to中的were吗?时态?

答案和解析
你没有理解错,因为这本身就是一个歧义句!其歧义所在并非 were not about to change,而是 because of 在否定句中的使用.
实际上,because of 在否定句中的使用是英语语义分析的一个经典歧义例子,同类否定句都可能有两种解释:
A is not B because of C ——
1)由于 C,A 就不是 B了 (重读 because of)
2)A 并非因为 C 而不是 B(重读 not)
翻译中出现这样的歧义都需通过上下文分析来厘清.
