2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞?
“hindsight”是不可數(shù)名詞,意思是“后見(jiàn)之明”冰抢。它的用法比較簡(jiǎn)單,一般用 in hindsight 或 with hindsight党巾,意思就是“事后想來(lái)吼拥,......”但校。當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)遺憾的時(shí)候蕾管,就可以用它枷踏。下面通過(guò)幾個(gè)例子來(lái)掌握這個(gè)詞。
事后想來(lái)娇掏,我應(yīng)該在最終做決策前咨詢律師呕寝,就可以說(shuō):
With hindsight, I should have consulted a lawyer before making the final decision.?
這句中的“With hindsight, I should have done”是個(gè)非常好用的句型勋眯,當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)“早知道”的時(shí)候婴梧,就可以用它,再比如:
With hindsight, I should have double-checked the procedure and made sure all was going well.? ?
With hindsight, the leadership should have been more careful with the venture capital funds.? ?
Justin 最近在一篇英文隨筆的開(kāi)篇就用到了 in hindsight 這個(gè)表達(dá):
'See, I told you so' or some variation of this saying is repeated often in our daily lives. We say it in hindsight to show our prescience or intelligence, or merely to gain a sense of superiority and pride.? ?
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在一篇關(guān)于剛果埃博拉問(wèn)題的文章中用到了 with hindsight:
With hindsight health workers recognise that they should have done more to involve local people.? ?
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在一篇探討老齡化和社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展關(guān)系的文章中也用到了 with hindsight:
In hindsight, the demographic boom that coincided with industrialisation in rich countries may have had an underappreciated benefit: it created a big constituency in favour of embracing new technologies and the opportunities they provided.? ? ?
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞客蹋?
1)翻譯下面的句子:早知道我應(yīng)該對(duì)她更多一點(diǎn)耐心塞蹭。
With hindsight, I should have been amore patient with her.
(參考翻譯:With hindsight, I should have been a bit more patient with her. )? ?
2.With hindsight,he will not give up her.
