譯文 若有人讓我指出最具破壞性的對于幻想的表達,我必將歸咎于媒體。
點睛 本句是一個虛擬語氣的基本句型。If I were done..., I would...意思是“如果我被……,我將……,”,前半句做出假設,后半句就前假設做出應對,句式中的人稱等可以替換。如:
If students were reminded of this reality, there would be fewer upset faces when examination results are published. 如果讓學生了解現(xiàn)實,當考試成績公布時將會少一些沮喪的臉。
本句中name用作動詞,意為“指出”,比point out更為正式一些。however表示轉(zhuǎn)折關系,在句子中的位置相對比較靈活,可以放在句首、句中或句尾。如:
1) However, they did not seem to have much effect. 不過,他們似乎沒有起太大的作用。
2) He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however. 他說事情就是這樣;然而,他錯了。
