※ 引述《david521 (sue)》之銘言: : 你們好,剛剛讀的一段文章,其中的一句為 : Geenhouse gases are necessary because they keep the planet's surface warmer : than it otherwise would be. : 就我的認知,otherwise 為副詞,故為何不是it would otherwise be 而是 it otherwis : e would be? : 另外請問這句怎麼翻比較好? : 謝謝 小弟的理解如下: Greenhouse gases are necessary 溫室氣體是不可或缺的 because they keep the planet's surface warmer 因為它們能讓地球的表面保持溫暖 than it otherwise would be. 否則地球就不是現在這樣了 這裡的otherwise緊跟在it後面, 是為了單獨修飾it (it指的是the planet's surface) 而主句既已明示 "Greenhouse gases are necessary"; 反之,就是 the planet's surface without greenhouse gases 詳細詞意 => than the planet's surface without greenhouse gases would be 使用otherwise單獨修飾the planet's surface => than the planet's surface otherwise would be 再使用代名詞it => than it otherwise would be -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.239.158.40 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1490425521.A.112.html
