Question

It changed me from a young man who was nearly a criminal into a decent human being .

اینbeing آخر جمله یه جورایی اضافه نیست؟ میشه حذف کرد؟

Answer 1

به نظر من human و human being در فارسی یه معنی دارند. اما در انگلیسی:

human: a human being, especially a person as distinguished from an animal or (in science fiction) an alien

human being: a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance

humankind: human beings considered collectively (used as a neutral alternative to “mankind”)

و تو این جمله،  از human being جنبه انسانیت و ذی شعور بودن مدنظر بوده.
