单词 | 故而 |
释义 | 〔whence〕It is difficult to label as incorrect a construction with such respectable antecedents.Still, it may be observed thatwhence (like thence ) is most often used nowadays to impart an archaic or highly formal tone to a passage, and that this effect is probably better realized if the archaic syntax of the word—withoutfrom —is preserved as well. 由于这样一些值得尊敬的先人,故而将其归类为一个不正确的结构就比较困难。不过,仍然可以注意到whence (如同 thence )在今天最常用来给一段文章赋予一种古体的或极其正式的语调, 并可以注意到如果该调整的古式构词方式(即不带有from 这个词)亦同样保留的话,该古体且高度正式的语调的效果则能更好地体现出来 |
