English term or phrase: to think that
Epey uzun süren diyalogdaki konu, vatandaşlığa alınma sürecindeki değişiklikler. Kısa bir bölümünü aşağıya kopyaladım.
B kişisinin bu yeni uygulamalardan haberi yok. Dolayısı ile A kişisi ayrıntılı bir açıklama yapıyor.
"To think that" ile başlayan cümleyi çözemedim. Bu kalıbın çoğunlukla "kimin akına gelirdi?" ya da "aklım almıyor" anlamına geldiğini biliyorum ancak yerine oturmuyor. Önerisi olan var mı? Teşekkür ederim.


A: “There is physical examination — the most searching and thorough — microscopic — chemical. They have to come up to a certain standard before they are graduated, you see. We have a standard of citizenship now — an idea of what people ought to be and how to make them so. Dear me! To think that you don’t know about that — ”
B: “I shouldn’t think they’d stand for it — all this examination and so on.”
A: “No country on earth offers so much happiness to its people. Nowhere else — yet — is there as good opportunity to be helped up, to have real scientific care, real loving study and assistance ! Everybody likes to be made the most of! Everybody — nearly — has the feeling that they might be something better if they had a chancel We give them the chance.”
B: “Then I should think you’d have all creation on your hands at once.”

Bunu nasıl bilmezsin?


Explanation:
Kelime karşılığını aramak yerine belirttiğiniz cümleyi "Bunu nasıl bilmezsin?" şeklinde çevirmenin daha akıcı olacağı düşüncesindeyim
