[文法] might as well have been..

[neuver (喔，您說的是)]

我查字典，might as well 意思是「最好還是..」

          might have been 為「可能發生但未發生..」

那如果might as well have been放一起要怎麼翻呢？



我看的文章內容是說，A 在某件事情上並未獲得良好的成效，

然後 A might as well have been like B ....(後面接「一種做法」)

所以是說A 最好如B 怎樣做 (言下之意是建議A怎麼做比較好)

請問是這樣嗎？

(不過這樣might have been的意思就翻不出來了..)



原文如下：

He might as well have been like Lemuel Gulliver, who while among the learned

men of Jonathan Swift's fictional eighteenth-century land of Lagado, observed

each projector, of scholar, working within the isolated confines of his own

chamber.



謝謝.

推 Pinya:這裡的as well是不是當"也"的意思呢？
推 neuver:如果as well翻成"也"，那might have been
→ neuver:怎麼翻比較好呢？  謝謝..
