※ 引述《paulchi (paul)》之铭言:
: 个人不认为 It is raining soon. 是好英文,但是从「同情的了解」角度
: 出发,能够解出语意。
: 我相信tijj大到处询问的高人们,也都是从这个角度来看待这个句子的。
: 因此如果将我上一帖编出的对话,拿去给英文母语人士看,我赌一块钱,大多数会说
: 还过得去 (重点,不是正确,而是「还过得去」),
: 尤其美国南方的乡巴佬,要讲文法规则,他们肯定输给板上的各位贤达。
: 我比较好奇的是,大家的英文如果都这麽好,干嘛不用英文来吵?
: 我起了头,没人要跟,很没劲。
我有跟呀~ 问篇如果是纯英文我回时都会回英文。
: xxx
: 语言是不断演化的,
: 所以: You had better -> You better 这种variation,只要用得人多,
: 就会有编写文法书的人,把它写进去,
: 书印出来後,就会成为...成为...成为远东小岛国上的国民,捧着当作
: 圣经一样,引经据典数落谁谁谁的英文不好、不够道地、不够正确的圭臬。
: Language is a tool through which we express our thoughts. The great
: comedian George Carlin once said that we do think in language, so the
: quality of our thoughts can only be as good as the quality of our
: language.
: You may think that the idea derived from the above statement justifies
: this lengthy debate over the validity of the expression in question.
: The hell it doesn't.
You realise this expression means "it does," right?
A: Theory 1 is correct.
B: Theory 1 is incorrect because it doesn't take into account Y.
A: The hell it doesn't. Y is taken care of in a corollary.

: Fucking Carlin would be laughing in his grave knowing people on a far
: east island with adequate English proficiency have been so hung up
: on such trivial grammtical crap while what they really should be doing
: is have meaningful discussion on matters that actually CONCERN THEM,
: like cross-strait politics and economics, the Euro debt crisis,
: the environment and green energy and whatnot, because THAT would be
: great exercise to put their language skills to test - force themselves
: to THINK in English.
Carlin is funny but I wouldn't let a funny old man dictate what I like
to discuss. I discuss many of those things you mentioned - and yes, in
English - just not here. Doing that here would be off-topic.
And since I like to discuss many things with many different people, I believe
it's important to master grammar, so that I can think and write precisely.
: But hell no.
: We don't do that.
I find your assumption about the rest of us insulting.
: We have to dig deep and find out if 'it is raining soon'
: is grammatically correct.
: Pathetic. All of us.
I'd say 'dedicated' :)
