怎樣應用?
雖然以上的句子很多,但主要節錄來讓大家學習單詞字,句子的話,我比較推介大家學習一下第14,第21和第22句:
- 第14句“It's not just a matter of”真的好好用,簡單達到思考得很全面的樣子哈哈,下一次直接說出更重要的範疇前也可以說說甚麼沒有這個重要!例如:
- It's not just a matter of cleaniness, it also shows respect to passengers on the same train. (這不僅僅是為了潔淨,也尊重火車上的其他乘客。)
- 至於第21句,我喜歡的是這裡不只是提出要取得平衡,更會加個形容詞說明是微妙的平衡,描述了這個平衡不容易獲得,聽起來好專業哦~我們也可以的,例如:
- It is tricky to maintain the delicate balance of social responsibilities and maximising benefits for investors. (要維持社會責任和把投資者利益最大化之間的微妙平衡很花工夫。)
- 最後的第22句也是日常超好用的~too much not to就是「太怎麼怎麼了,沒法甚麼甚麼」,我們不是每天都在說這樣的句子嗎?
- They like Rachel too much to give her honest comments. (他們太喜歡瑞秋,沒辦法誠實給她意見。)
- I am too tired to hit the gym today. (我今天太累了沒辦法上健身房。)
