Will you go down in quicksand?Yes,but not all the way.

题目

Will you go down in quicksand?Yes,but not all the way.
You will float.But you should float in clean water.Quicksand is too dirty.
这里的not all the way如何理解呢?

答案

原来的翻译是：
Will you go down in quicksand?
你要顺着流沙往下吗?
Yes,but not all the way.
是的,但不是一直都这样的.
You will float.But you should float in clean water.Quicksand is too dirty.
你将会漂流下去,但你应该在清水里漂流,流沙太脏了.
注：all the way的意思有“地久天长,永远”的意思,必不有一首英文歌的歌名就是这样的；还有另一个意思就是“一路上”的意思,如：
He has come all the way from Leeds to look for a job.
他从利兹远道而来寻找工作.
