Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures.
请问老师among...这个状语应该如何理解?
among有一个用法是among other things/places/factors, etc.表示「除了其他东西/地方/因素等」,used to say that you are only mentioning one or two people or things out of a much larger group
举个例子:
At the meeting they discussed, among other things, recent events in Japan.
会上除其他议题外,他们还讨论了日本近来发生的事件。
这里也是一样的意思,这286亿美元除了可以支付其他使其生存下来的措施,还可以支付新型运输工具。也就是说这286亿美元可以帮助支付新型运输工具以及其他使其得以生存的措施。
