但是像为什么seeming变seemingly就要引起警惕,就没有讲明白——根据manhattan 5th,是modifier changes from noun modifier to verb modifier, noun modifier modifies noun/pronoun/noun phrases ,verb modifier modifies verb, 所以,并不是word changes from adj. to adv.,meaning changes 缘故,而是改变了修饰顺序导致含义发生改变的缘故。楼主一直不明白为神马 significant变 significantly 就不能选了,看了manhattan才明白~~~
还有就是XDF里面的倍数表达法,【大于等于表示法】as great as or greater than:as两边、greater than一定要成对出现。at least as great as。两种表达法之间没有高低优劣之分,不存在谁更简洁的状况。而manhattan里面首推 at least as great as,对于as great as or greater than则没有提及,LZ估计man认为这个是british english,而非american english,还是属于suspect行列。
