reed

[ri:d]

n.

芦苇; 芦丛

个人觉得a reed of hope 应该翻译为一丝希望

因为

Man is but a reed, the most weak in nature, but he is a thinking reed.—Blaise Pascal等的名句中,都把reed 作为脆弱的象征

本人也曾看过

a reed of hope被翻译为 一丝希望

下面的一些习语,你可以看看

a broken reed

a weak or ineffectual person

脆弱的人;无用的人

(as) slim as a reed

(of a person) very slim

(人)纤细的,苗条的
