标题[问题] occasion的意思
时间Mon Apr 7 10:07:47 2008
Given that not only insects and spiders but also shrimp, crabs, centipedes, an
d their numerous relatives are arthropods, this fact should not
occasion surprise.我看不懂occasion 的意思
http://aolsvc.merriam-webster.aol.com/dictionary/occasion
a favorable opportunity or circumstance <did not have occasion to talk
with them 所以可以翻成巧遇吗?
given that可翻成事实上吗?
後面那一句应该可翻成 这个事实 应该不会偶尔带来惊奇
大家觉得怎麽样呢?应该是这样的意思吧
想请教各位前辈
