時間Tue Feb 23 11:10:10 2010
※ 引述《yuiop0929 (浪費時間達人)》之銘言：
: 號稱能擺脫歐盟的束縛，瑞士的自由是被國內和對大歐洲持懷疑論者的所鼓吹的
: 只是此自由目前仍是神話...
: ※ 引述《Mensa0801 (Fly by Wire)》之銘言：
: : 請教大家這是一篇標題為"THE END OF SWITZERLAND"的文章
: : 裡面有一個句子是這樣的:
: : Still another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere,
: : has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles.
: : 這句意思到底是什麼阿?
: : 感謝大家的回答!
: 我知道意思
: 但是翻出來還真奇怪
: 還望版友指正
"it is touted at home" (1)
"it is touted by Euro-skeptics"
-->
"it is touted by Euro-skeptics elsewhere" (2)
Combine (1) and (2), and we get:
"It is touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere." (3)
========================
"another myth has been Switzerland's purported freedom"
-->
"another myth has been Switzerland's purported freedom (from EU shackles.)"
-->
"another myth(, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere,)
has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles." (see 3)
-->
"(Still) another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere,
has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles."
-->
"(It's) Still another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere,
has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles."
========================
Hope it helps ^^
