我经常跟我7分班的同学说:无论是雅思阅读还是作文,要把句子和词理解贴切并且使用地道其实非常简单,一定要脱离英汉词典!一定要脱离英汉词典!一定要脱离英汉词典!
英汉词典告诉你“reasonable”就是“合理的”,这正是妨碍你去理解它真正含义的最大障碍。其实你移步Google而不是用百度有道之类的,马上会发现,reasonable的意思是:
adjective
[color=rgb(135, 135, 135) !important]adjective: reasonable
- 1.
(of a person) having sound judgment; fair and sensible.
[color=#878787 !important]"no reasonable person could have objected"
synonyms: | sensible, rational, logical, fair, fair-minded, just, equitable; More
|
- based on good sense.
[color=#878787 !important]"it seems a reasonable enough request"
- [color=#878787 !important]archaic
(of a person or animal) able to think, understand, or form judgments by a logical process.
[color=#878787 !important]"man is by nature reasonable"
- 2.
as much as is appropriate or fair; moderate.
[color=#878787 !important]"a police officer may use reasonable force to gain entry"
synonyms: | within reason, practicable, sensible; More
|
- fairly good; average.
[color=#878787 !important]"the carpet is in reasonable condition"
synonyms: | fairly good, acceptable, satisfactory, average, adequate, fair, all right, tolerable, passable; informalOK
"cars in reasonable condition"
|
- (of a price or product) not too expensive.
[color=#878787 !important]"a restaurant serving excellent food at reasonable prices"
synonyms: | inexpensive, moderate, low, cheap, budget, bargain, downmarket; competitive
"reasonable prices"
|
所以这句话其实一点也没有刁难或者艰深或者罕见,其实它用的就是英文中reasonable的主要义项:moderate,average,fairly good,也就是说一个保养还不错的,正常使用的,机件磨损等都在平均水平的机器。唯一让你的困惑的,是“合理的”这个 oversimplified 的中文注解,让你产生了不正确的中文联想。
