| 释义 | different At least three different commentators— Cook 1985, Copperud 1970, 1980, and Bryson 1984— say that different as just used in this sentence is unnecessary. Unnecessary it may be, but including it is no great sin. The use of different after a number is simply an emphatic use. There is no law against emphasis. You can certainly leave the different out if you wish, but unless you are writing a telegram or are pressed for space, there is no need to. Let your ear be your guide. Note that the following writers found no need to excise the emphatic different: • Purity, it was said, implies three things. Accordingly, in three different ways it may be injured —Campbell 1776 • I'll make it up to you twenty different ways —Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's Life, 1791 • There were three different conclusions to be drawn from his silence —Jane Austen, Mansfield Park, 1814 • ... published at least five different books on grammar —Simon 1980 (in Bryson 1984) • Concur has three different meanings —Harper 1985 |
