⒈In logic, this kinship is expressed by the term sequitur, Latin for "it follows."(The converse is non sequitur, "it does not follow.")
⑴先說一下英語的引號(hào)用法注意事項(xiàng)~
AmE:逗號(hào)、句號(hào)任何時(shí)候都位于引號(hào)內(nèi)。
BrE:逗號(hào)位于引號(hào)外。如果句號(hào)與整個(gè)句子有關(guān),句號(hào)放在引號(hào)外;如果句號(hào)只與引語有關(guān),句號(hào)放在引號(hào)內(nèi)。eg.The price tag on that old laptop was marked"Sold".
AmE:通常在and 前要用逗號(hào)。eg. "Dainty,""funny," and "sainty" are some of the adjectives that can be applied to her personality.
BrE:"Dainty", "funny" and "sainty" are some of the adjectives that can be applied to her personality.
AmE和BrE共有的原則是:屬于整個(gè)句子(不屬于引語)的問號(hào)、感嘆號(hào)位于引號(hào)之外;eg. Ann, please stop saying, "He is a nice king"!只屬于引語的問號(hào)、感嘆號(hào)位于引號(hào)之內(nèi)。eg. Ann asked, "How long did you live in Japan?"
⑵[term]此處是①"專有名詞,術(shù)語"。還有②學(xué)期,③期,期限。
幾個(gè)詞組:[in terms of]就...而言,在...方面;[in sb's terms]從某人的角度來說;[in real/absolute terms]實(shí)際上;[in relative terms]相對(duì)來說。
⑶[sequitur]名詞,推論,結(jié)論(根據(jù)前提得出的)
[non sequitir]n.前后不連貫的陳述,不根據(jù)前提的推論。
⑷[the converse]單數(shù)(singular),"相反的事物,(事實(shí)或陳述的)反面"。[converse]還有動(dòng)詞,是不及物動(dòng)詞,"交談、談話(have a conversation with sb)",短語:converse with sb.
⒉From this it follows that nothing else but belief-neither talent nor hard work-is necessary for success.
⑴由上一段可知,it follows-sequitur,it does not follow-non sequitur。
⑵[neither...nor...]既不...也不...
⒊The reason the two ideas are equivalent is that their meaings are inseparably linked.
is前是主語。這兩個(gè)ideas(哪兩個(gè)ideas呢?根據(jù)前文,一個(gè)是老師和家長(zhǎng)鼓勵(lì)小孩子的一句話"If you believe in yourself,you can succeed at anything."二是由那句話引出的推論--既不需要天分,也不需要努力,只要有信念就能成功)是等同的原因是(The reason the two ideas are equivalent is that)它們的含義有不可分割地聯(lián)系(their meanings are inseparably linked)
⒋In addition to conveying ideas closely linked to it in meaning, an idea can imply other ideas.
除了表達(dá)與它在含義上聯(lián)系密切地(closely linked to it in meaning)ideas外,一個(gè)idea也能暗示出其他的ideas。
⑴[in addition to]除...之外
⑵[in meaning]在含義上
⒌For example, the idea that there is no real difference between virtue and vice implies that people should not feel bound by common moral standards.
implies前是主語,implies是謂語,that people should not feel bound by common moral standards(人們不應(yīng)該受公共的道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)所束縛)是賓語從句。there is no real difference between virtue and vice就是the idea特指的。
⒍看到sound想到了soundly的一個(gè)用法:sleep soundly睡得好,睡得沉
⒎In many cases, we take ideas at face value and embrace them...
在許多情況下,
⑴[at face value]根據(jù)外表,從表面上看
⑵[take...at face value]根據(jù)外表(或表面價(jià)值)判斷(to accept something as it appears to be rather than studying it more closely)
⒏In the course of time, our actions are shaped by those meanings and implications, whether we are aware of them or not.
⑴[in the course of time]after a period of time(隨著時(shí)間的推移;經(jīng)過了相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)地時(shí)間;總有一天;最后等等)
[in the course of]在...期間,在...過程中
[in the course of nature]正常地,通常按照慣例
⑵[whether]①是否②不管,不論,此處是②
⒐consider the series of events set in motion by an idea that was popular in psychology more than a century ago and whose influence continues to this day...
細(xì)想一系列的事件被一個(gè)在流行于一世紀(jì)以前的心理學(xué)上并一直影響今天的idea所觸發(fā)(一系列的事件把一個(gè)流行于一世紀(jì)以前并一直影響今天的idea付諸實(shí)踐),這個(gè)idea就是智力是基因決定的并且不能增加。
