Question

Hi.It's written:"It is late at night.You've been sitting at the same table for hours, but you know it's all going to be worthwile."in Play Winning Chess.may I translate it as:"It is late at night.You've been sitting at the same table for hours, but you know all  these will be worthwile."

Mister Micawber · Accepted Answer

Your 'these' does not point at an appropriate antecedent.  In the original, 'it' refers to the whole situation of 'sitting at the same table for hours'.

So what do you think 'a;; these' means in the second sentence?

soheil1May I translate it as

Both statements are in English, so how do you figure that it's a translation?

What you have is "all these will be" instead of "it's all going to be", and it's hard to understand why you want to make that substitution.

To translate this into another language you have to understand it first in English. Then use words in the other language that communicate the same thing, even though they might not correspond one-to-one with the words of the English version.

If the grammar of the target language requires "all these will", then that's how you'll have to do it to be grammatical in the target language, but it's definitely not as good in English as the original English statement. I assume "these" is the "hours" and that that is how you might say it in the target language. If there is no way to capture the original in the target language, then you may be stuck with this kind of rephrasing.

Hi soheil1 Going to mostly used when you have decided to do it near future but will you havent decided what to do and it might be happen in far future

Mister Micawber · Answer

In addition to what parsa has mentioned, 'will' is generally a neutral statement about a future event; 'going to' is a plan or intention.

OK. I didn't realize this was the crux of your question.

It seems it's been answered already, so it seems you're 'good to go'.
