譯文 若有人讓我指出最具破壞性的對(duì)于幻想的表達(dá),我必將歸咎于媒體。
點(diǎn)睛 本句是一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣的基本句型。If I were done..., I would...意思是“如果我被……,我將……,”,前半句做出假設(shè),后半句就前假設(shè)做出應(yīng)對(duì),句式中的人稱等可以替換。如:
If students were reminded of this reality, there would be fewer upset faces when examination results are published. 如果讓學(xué)生了解現(xiàn)實(shí),當(dāng)考試成績(jī)公布時(shí)將會(huì)少一些沮喪的臉。
本句中name用作動(dòng)詞,意為“指出”,比point out更為正式一些。however表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,在句子中的位置相對(duì)比較靈活,可以放在句首、句中或句尾。如:
1) However, they did not seem to have much effect. 不過(guò),他們似乎沒(méi)有起太大的作用。
2) He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however. 他說(shuō)事情就是這樣;然而,他錯(cuò)了。
