例子:科学研究应该由政府还是私人机构开展。---2005.12.10

There are many reasons for entrusting scientific research to government rather than

private companies.(支持句一)To begin with, many large-scale and long-term research

projects require substantial funding that only national governments can afford.(支持句二)In the second place, first-rate scientists who enjoy international reputation are largely

concentrated in government-sponsored research institutions.(支持句三) Lastly, since

most private companies are profit-orientated, the findings and conclusions from their

research are more likely to be biased and even represent the interests of a small group.

译文:委托政府而不是私人公司开展研究工作的原因很多。 (支持句一)首先,许多大规模和长期的研究项目,需要投入大量资金,只有各国政府所能负担的。

(支持句二)其次,享有国际声誉的一流的科学家,主要集中在政府资助的研究机构。

(支持句三)最后,因为大多数私营公司是以利润为导向,他们的研究结论更有可能偏颇,甚至代表小团体的利益。

3. 对比

单 词 说 明

while... While and whilst are the same, but whilst is a bit more formal (according to one famous

grammar book).

1. Whereas is always used for contrast.

2. While/whilst can be used for contrast, OR to mean "at the same time".

3. As can mean "because" or "exactly at the moment when". whilst...

whereas...

By/in

contrast,... It seems quite warm today by contrast with yesterday's icy wind. 与昨天凛冽的寒风一比,今天可算相当暖和了。

In contrast with your belief that we will fail, I am confident that we will succeed. 你认为我们会失败,可与你的想法相反,我深信我们会成功。

1. When contrast is used as a transitive verb, both with and to may follow, though with is more common:

(例句)Most scholars contrast the light comedies of his early career with (or to) the dark comedies that

were written late in his life.

2. “In contrast” and “by contrast” mean the same thing: the act of comparing in order to show differences.

The difference lies in the way the words are used.

 “In contrast” is usually followed by “to” or “with” and requires a noun to follow it.

 “By contrast” is usually followed or preceded by the subject of the sentence.

例句: Wind power is relatively cheap and clean, whereas nuclear power is far more expensive and full of potential hazards, threatening to local people’s lives. 译文:风能相对干净且便宜,而核能更贵且对当地人们的生命富有潜在危险。
