上面的句子摘自2023高考英语新全国卷1阅读理解C的第一段。
我不太理解其中的 make the case for,查词典也没有查到它是固定搭配啊!
此用法的case表示“理由”,要表示“支持或反对……的理由”,其后可接for或against。如:
the case for the defence/prosecution 有利于被告/原告的论据
the case for/against private education 赞成/反对实行私立学校教育的理由
The report makes out a strong case(= gives good arguments) for spending more money on hospitals.报告充分阐明了增加医院经费的理由。
make the case for的意思就是“提出做或支持……的理由”。又如:
He sat there while I made the case for his dismissal. 他坐在那儿,听我讲述着解雇他的理由。(摘自柯林斯词典)
原文翻译:
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
写这本书的目的是要为数字极简主义提供支持理由,其中包括对其要求和原因进行详细的探索,然后在你觉得对你适合的情况下,教会你如何掌握这种哲学。
make the case for是make a case for的一种变体,make a case for词典里一般都能查到,表示“充分说明……理由,解释……理由”,case的意思是a set of facts and arguments。
示例:
We will only publish a new edition if you can make a convincing case for it. (Cambridge)
His refusal to make the case for equality shipwrecked his party. (Cambridge)
上面句子可以翻译为:这本书旨在为极简主义做出充分论证……
