※ 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
