【问】 请辨析 in rough与 in the rough。
【答】 in rough指“处于草稿状态”,而in the rough是指“处于粗糙状态”、“未加工状态”。请对比下列句子:
1. Write it out in rough and then copy it. (LDCE)
请写出初稿并打字。
2. The plan is yet in the rough.(ALD)
这计划还很粗糙。
3. I have not seen the picture since it was finished,though I saw it when it was still in therough. (Wood)
这幅画完成后我还没看见过,不过以前在画没画完的时候我已经看过了。
