| 释义 | on the part of This common idiomatic phrase can often be replaced by a single preposition, such as by or among, and several commentators think—not surprisingly—that it should be. Its use is easily avoided by anyone who finds it awkward or needlessly wordy. Many writers apparently do not find it so: • After a proper resistance on the part of Mrs. Ferrars —Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, 1811 • ... evinces, on the part of the author, an utter and radical want of the adapting or constructive power —Edgar Allen Poe, "The Literati of New York City," 1846 • It determined on the part of poor Giovanelli a further pious, a further candid, confidence —Henry James, Daisy Miller, 1879 • ... high standards of integrity and conduct on the part of all concerned —C. W. Caress, American School Board Jour., March 1968 • ... increased willingness on the part of the parents to speak up —Jack J. Levine, Columbia Forum, Spring 1968 • ... ignorance on the part of many English teachers ... of the most elementary facts about the nature of language—Barnard 1979 |
