※ 引述《xpower50 (37303)》之銘言： : 這是透明國際(反貪腐NGO)創辦人的演講,講說他在世銀當主管的時候看到的貪腐行為 : Let me give you an example. : A huge power project, 300 million dollars, to be built smack : into one of the most vulnerable, and one of the most beautiful : areas of western Kenya. And we all noticed immediately that : this project had no economic benefits. It had no clients. : Nobody would buy the electricity there. Nobody was interested : in irrigation projects. To the contrary, we knew that this : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : project would destroy the environment, it would destroy : riparian forests, which were the basis for the survival of : nomadic groups, the Samburu and the Tokana in this area. : 想請問他to the contrary前面講了一堆no : 還可以用to the contrary當語氣的轉折嗎?? : THANKS~~~~ 我個人的解讀是這樣的 一開始這各 project 花了大筆的金錢 ... blah blah blah... 但隨即才發現 (注意到) no A, no B, ....etc. 這表示在此之前, A, B, C 這些結果是沒有預期到的, 或是不知道會有這樣的後果 但是相反的 會對環境造成破壞 ..... etc. 卻是本來就知道的 (因為這各計畫是在最vulnerable, beautiful....的地方進行的) 所以用 to the contrary 是來表示前後相反的語氣 如果有前後文, 應該就可以更清楚的知道了 有錯請指正 --
