释义 | instance Two commentators, Phythian 1979 and Copperud 1970, 1980, say that instance is frequently used in wordy phrases. They both single out in the instance of: • In the instance of Where's Charley?, he adapted the original play (Charley's Aunt) to the book of the musical —Current Biography, October 1965 We find relatively few examples of this phrase, which makes us wonder how real the overuse of the phrase is. Both commentators object to instance on the same grounds as they object to case. See the article at CASE for a discussion of phrases that have been criticized as wordy. |
