词组 | on the contrary(on the other hand) |
释义 | contrary , on the ~: hand , on the other ~— 206 这两个短语的区别就在于: on the contrary 作“相反”或“反之”讲,是用来提相反的一面(参见词条 P.205 和 P.207 ); on the other hand 则是“另一方面”的意思,用来说明另一方面。 例如: That country looks very strong, but it is , on the con-trary , a paper tiger in the full sense of the term. 那个国家貌似强大,其实,它是一只地地道道的纸老虎。 It's cold, but on the other hand , it's no snowing. 今天天气冷,但另一方面却并不下雪。 比较: I suppose the job wasn't very interesting. — On the con-trary , it was fascinating , I love it. 我认为这种工作索然无味。——恰恰相反,这工作有意思极了,我很喜欢。 The job wasn't very interesting, but on the other hand it waswell paid. 这种工作乏味极了,可是在另一方面,工资倒不算少。 |
