标题Re: [文法]两个句子求助
时间Sat Aug 6 05:17:44 2011
※ 引述《kira12109 (三つ叶)》之铭言:
: 两个句子的疑义,想求助於大家
: 1."As much as" we computer users hate to admit it,password serve a vital
: function.
: 这边的"As much as"应该要如何解释呢?
一般在当半句的起头时,如
as much as [aaa], [bbb]
有时可当 although (虽然) 解,都代表转折,虽然与 although 还是有差,但差别不大
当然如用作直接比较时不可当 although 解,如
[a] as much as [b]
I love you as much as I love apple pie!
那既然都是"虽然",要两个英语词干嘛?
1) although 一定有转折,as much as 则未必
2) as much as 可以有比较性,although 没有
(如 paulchi 大前面所说)
举例:
although [he's ugly], [his wife is hot]
有转折:虽然他丑,但老婆很辣
as much as [I trust you], [I can't lend you the money]
有转折:我虽然很相信你,但还是不能借你这笔钱
[I trust you] as much as [I trust John]
没转折:我相信你跟相信约翰的程度一样
[I trust you] as much as [I can throw you]
没转折:我不相信你 (此为常见厘语)
[直译:我相信你的程度跟我能把你拎起来丢出去的距离一样]
再举例:
[I trust you] as much as [I trust John]
有比较性但没转折:我相信你跟相信约翰的程度一样
As much as [I trust you], [I also trust John]
有比较性也有转折:虽然我相信你,(但)我也相信约翰
最後,到底如何分呢?
看。句。子
: 2.People look at the lock on the door and think,'You are preventing me from
: getting in',when actually the lock on the door allows the information to be
: kept"in the first place.
: 句中的 when 跟 in the first place应该是什麽意思呢?
: 求助高手们,感谢!!
when 在此可直接省略
in the first place = 一开始
整段:
人们看到锁就想:「你不要我进来」,但其实一开始门上的锁是要确保资讯留在里面。
