標題[請益] 外國論壇中,網友的回應(except..)
時間Sun May 21 20:33:30 2017
大家好,想請問一下
我在英語學習論壇提了一個問題,有網友回應,但我不是很理解。
----
標題:and (...) for EU supporters
內容:
‘Tactical voting’ is quickly becoming a buzzword for the UK’s June 8
elections, with groups calling for strategic alliances and for EU supporters
to vote for the least-worst option available.
---
I think the original sentence is
...with groups calling for strategic alliances and (with groups calling) for
EU supporters to vote for the least-worst option available.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks!
網友回應:
Yes, except I'd say that you quoted the original sentence and offer a variant
to make sure you understood the original.

我試著就我的理解來翻譯:
「沒錯,只是我會說你引用了原句,並且提出一個類似的句型來確認你明白了。」
不太懂對方想表達什麼意思?照理說這裡用「Yes, and...」應該文意比較順才對吧?
不太能理解英語人士的思維邏輯@@a

→ kaifrankwind: 不是original 而只是一開始的變型 可以說這邊他不是 05/21 21:44
→ kaifrankwind: 拿那種"添字還原句型"的文法概念在理解這句 05/21 21:45
→ kaifrankwind: 他覺得這是他跟你想法之間僅有的差異 所以except 05/21 21:47
感謝,大概瞭解了。
Yes, except I'd say that you quoted the original sentence and offer a variant
to make sure you understood the original.
原來關鍵在"and",查了辭典,這裡的and應該是as a result的意思。
用中文的脈絡來理解,應該是:
「沒錯,只是我會說『你引用了原句,但其實是』提出一個類似的句型來確認你明白
了。」
中英思維大不同QQ

感謝D大!您的意思是說,那位網友認為我是先"quoted the original sentence"
(也就是我前面所貼出的原文),接著則是"offer a variant"
(也就是後面從I think the original sentence is...開始的部分)
這樣看來,我想應該是the original sentence這個詞讓彼此認知有差異,
其實用中文來說的話,我要表達的是「那原本句子(的意思)是...」,
可能我用英文表達時,用詞不夠精準,以致於有點雞同鴨講...。
