标题: ZDF88, 117 [打印本页] 作者: cz 时间: 2003-10-21 08:42 标题: ZDF88, 117 [face=Verdana]#88) During the first one hundred fifty years of the existence of this republic, no one expected the press to be fair; newspapers were mostly shrill, scurrilous, and partisan.
我想问问如果把上面画线部分改成一下的话， 有什么错误？
no one expected that the press was fair
#117) Contrary to popular belief, victors in the ancient Greek Olympic Games received cash prizes in addition to their laurel wreaths.
in contrast with 和 in spite of 有什么问题? 它们之间有什么不同?

88 如果要改的话，也应该是： no one expected that the press would be fair
117 in contrast with 和 in spite of 的问题在于意思不对。 Contrary to popular belief的意思是“与流行的观点相反...” 上面的两个词好象不能表达这个意思吧?作者: cz 时间: 2003-10-21 22:25
88 如果要改的话，也应该是： no one expected that the press would be fair
但是我不明白, 为什么是 would be ?
117 后来我查了字典, in spite of 是 竟管 的意思, 所以不能表达“与流行的观点相反...” 但是 in contrast with 可以表达“与流行的观点相反...”呀, 那为什么不对?
