词组 | respect |
释义 | in respect of 比 in respect to 普通。with respect to 比 with respect of 普通。严格地说,in respect of 是“就……而论”,with respect to 是“关于”,如In respect of style this essay is much better than that 和With respect to the question of style this book has not much to say。但事实上这两种表达方式往往通用。 respectable(-ly) 1.respectable 是“可敬的”,不是“恭敬的”,respectably 是“可敬地”,不是“恭敬地”,respectful 是“恭敬的”,respectfully 是“恭敬地”。比较下面各句: He is a respectable authority on English phonetics. All the children are respectful to their teachers. He conducts himself respectably at all times. The man bowed respectfully to the old lady. 2.关于 respectable 有下面三点该注意: (1)respectable 直译作“可敬的”,当然不错。但在阶级社会里往往把财产、地位、门第等作为受人尊敬的条件,所以 respectable 往往作“上流社会的”或“高尚的”解。 (2)respectable 从“可敬的”转作“还算好的”或“说得过去的”解,有时竟然有“不过如此的”的意思。 (3)用讥讽的口吻说别人 respectable 往往有“高雅得俗不可耐”的意思。 3.He is our respectable leader 和 She is our respectable teacher 等句子里的 respectable 用得不妥当,该改作 respected。 4.信函里的信尾客套语 Yours respectfully 决不可改作 Yours respectably。Yours respectfully 现在比较少用。 |
