These usages may occasion qualms among critics who hold that facts cannot be other than true,but they often serve a useful purpose.Fact 有一个漫长的历史用于表示“宣告事实”, 如在“这个小册子被散发到数以千计的美国教师手中,可这个宣称的事实和推理过程是错误的” (阿尔伯特·尚克)。这个惯例不可避免地导致引进词组true facts 和 real facts , 如在这个案件的真实可能从未被证实 中。 这些用法在那些认为不可能不是真的事实的批评家中可能引起疑虑,而他们常用于有用的目的〔number〕The applicants numbered in the thousands.申请者数以千计〔eventuate〕The epidemic eventuated in the deaths of thousands.这种流行病最终导致了数以千计人的死亡 |
