一种说法:
whereas表示对比关系前后句子在形式上不需要完全对等, 例如:In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken in large quantities in order to treat particular maladies。
另一种说法:
Whereas 是连词,表示 然而,鉴于,反之,表比较。看到是比较,就应该考虑比较对象要对等。例如:Whereas the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and cannot be retracted from the skin, the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used again.
问:这两种说法矛盾吗?到底应该怎样使用whereas ??? 求解?
