How do you say: "I hope never to be in the same situation as Jonah?" How do you say: "I hope never to be in the same situation as Jonah?" So we all know the story - Jonah was swallowed by a big fish, but how do you say "I hope never to be in the same situation as Jonah?" So far I've come up with the following sentences: 我希望我从来没有在同样的情况约拿 我希望永远不会有约拿同样的情况。 谢谢大家的帮助!

the sentence you have come up with is right but has some problem with the word order. you can say 我希望永远不会和约拿有同样的情况 but make it more accurately,we can say我希望永远不会遭遇和约拿同样的情况or 我希望永远不会和约拿有同样的遭遇. I think translating situation into 遭遇 is more suitable than 情况. It's fine not to say 永远 in the sentence because it's not so important in this sentence.
