【句型13】For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that
is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.(Lesson 5)
【译文】首先因为成为问题使人具有某种个性,这正是年轻人孜孜以求的事情之一。
【讲解】that指being a problem gives you a certain identity。for one
thing意为“首先,一则,举个例说(表示作为其中一点理由)”,例如:
【原文】How do you manage it all? Careful scheduling, for one thing.
【译文】你是怎样处理这一切的呢?首先是细致地排出时间表。
【原文】I can’t go. For one thing, I have no time.
【译文】我不能去。理由之一是我没时间。
另请注意:for one thing 常与for another(thing)连用,表示“首先,再者”,例如:
【原文】I can’t go—for one thing, I have no money, and for another, I have too
much work.
【译文】我不能去。一则我没有钱,二则我工作太多。
