“黑暗中的”常见英文表达有“in the dark”或“in the darkness” ,具体使用哪个取决于语境和表达习惯:
in the dark:更常用,既可以表示实际的物理环境“在黑暗中”,也常用来比喻“不知情;蒙在鼓里” 。例如:We were walking in the dark.(我们在黑暗中行走。);I've been kept in the dark about this whole thing.(整件事我都被蒙在鼓里。 )
in the darkness:更强调“在黑暗这种状态、氛围或环境中” ,书面语色彩稍浓。例如:The figure moved silently in the darkness.(那个身影在黑暗中悄然移动。 )
