释义 | 1.stone 统指“石”,是物质名词,a stone 是“一块石头”,stones 是“多块石头”。 2.下面四句都作“他住得离邮局很近”解: He lives a stone's throw from the post-office. He lives within a stone's throw of the post-office. He lives not a stone's throw from the post-office. He lives within not a stone's throw of the post-office. 下面几点该注意: (1)把 throw 改作 cast 也可以,但不很普通。 (2)a stone's throw 直译作“一块石头所投得到的距离”解,就是“很短的距离”。 (3)这语的前面加上了 not 作“不满一块石头所投得到的距离”解,也是“很短的距离”的意思,但不很普通。 (4)a stone's throw 里的's 偶尔被省去。 (5)It is not exactly a stone's throw from here 直译作“这个离开这里并不正是一块石头所投得到距离”,实际说“这个离开这里很远”。 |
