Spring is here.The ground is covered, ______, with a green carpet. (as it were / as it was)
请问该填哪个?如何解释?如何翻译?谢谢!
▲只能填:as it were。为英语习语,意思为:仿佛 / 好像 / 可以说是 / 似乎是。
这种意义的 as it were 常以插入语形式出现,因此其后常带有标点 可以理解为虚拟语气,相当于 as if it were (really so) Every idea we have is, as it were, copied from what we sense or experience. 我们的每一个观念似乎都来自我们的感觉或是经验。
You see, the intervals between us interlocking our minds and bodies, as it were, have grown longer and longer. 你看,我们把思想和身体结合起来的时间间隔可以说是变得越来越长了。
▲原句试译:春天来了,大地仿佛铺上了绿色的地毯。
