我写的这句话可以这样表达吗?
We cannot know ourselves objectively, just as we cannot lift up or see ourselves with our own arms and eyes.
这样放到一起可以吗?还是要拆开写:
Just as we cannot lift up ourselves with our own arms and see ourselves with our own eyes?
你写的第一句是可以的,just as表示高度相似(as表示相似,just起加强语气的作用):
We cannot know ourselves objectively, just as we cannot lift up or see ourselves with our own arms or eyes. 我们无法客观地了解自己,就如我们无法用自己的手臂举起自己和用自己的眼睛看自己一样。
第二句不可以:
误:Just as we cannot lift up ourselves with our own arms and see ourselves with our own eyes?(一是没有主句,二是不符合疑问句的基本格式)
