问题解答:

我来补答
1.people were by nature incapable of being anything 是句子的主体
其中——
by nature 本性,天生,就其本性而言
be incapable of ..的、不可能...的
因此这部分的意思是“人们就其本性而言不会是任何东西”.
2.形容词短语 less than candid about their feelings 是anything 的后置定语.
其中—— ,
less than 相当于 not at all,意思是“决非/根本不是”.
这部分的意思是“在他们的情感上决非没有偏见的”.
整句翻译:我想知道,如果人们就其本性而言不会是在情感上决非没有偏见的任何东西的话,那么世界会是什么样子的.
再问: 1.我认为people were by nature incapable of being anything可以翻译成:人们天生不会任何本领。 2.less than=绝非,candid=straightforward,而你把candid翻译成了unbiased,我就不懂了。 最终我的翻译:我想知道这个世界将会是什么样子,如果人们天生不会有任何情感不坦诚的本领。 至少你的答案给了我启发,给你分了。
