英语好的翻译一句话

During Henry's time in the Irish wars, it was reported to Cecil that he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds .
糊涂了,到底是前面的Henry看到后面的Cecil的active service in bed了还是Cecil看到了前面的Henry那什么in bed??
某答案有点不靠谱……
问题就是干那事儿的人是谁,那么大家都觉得是Henry和Edmunds那什么了,是吗?

允许我把这句话发完整,不知道会不会有帮助....
During Henry's time in the Irish wars, it was reported to Cecil that he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds—he would "cole and hug" his captain in his arms, and "play wantonly" with him.

整句的意思:亨利在爱尔兰战争时期, Cecil 被告知其在任职期的大多数时候都和皮埃尔.爱德蒙上尉在床上鬼混。

这里最难理解的地方是 that he saw, 这个he 是谁? 其实这个he就是亨利; he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds .是Ceil 被报告的内容;这里he saw 是指他(亨利)看到自己的时光是这样度过的,意即:亨利放任自己在这一期间这样荒唐地度过;这里的saw 不宜理解为看到,而应理解为:知道自己的作为,但放任自己这样做。

干那事的人是亨利和爱德蒙上尉, 你补充的破折号后的内容是对他两在床上怎样干那事的具体说明-亨利好像更肆无忌惮和无耻:play wantonly with him(爱德蒙);

如果你的上下文中没有出现第四个人, 那么 that he saw中的he 只有是亨利,这里也牵涉到句子前后一致的问题, 前面讲during henry's 。。。。; 后面不太可能是另外一个人发现什么什么什么。。。。

In 1599, during the Nine Years War (1595-1603), he went to Ireland with Essex, who made him general of his horse, but the queen insisted that the appointment be cancelled. Southampton remained on in personal attendance upon the earl, rather than as an officer. 【During his time in the Irish wars, it was reported to Cecil that he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds - he would "cole and hug" his captain in his arms, and "play wantonly" with him. 】

首先,see作及物动词时,有个意思是“经历,经受”,又如:
Bill saw service in the army.比尔在陆军中服过兵役。(引自陆谷孙主编、上海译文2007第2版《英汉大词典》)

其次,active service意为“现役,战时服役”。

During his time in the Irish wars, it was reported to Cecil that he saw most of his active service in bed with a captain Piers Edmunds意思是:他在爱尔兰战争期间,有人向Cecil报告说,他的大部分战时服役时间,都是和一个叫Piers Edmunds的上尉上床。本回答被提问者采纳
