以下是引用summersmile在2004-11-11 14:53:00的发言:They examined the extent to which (=how much) age affected language-learning ability. To what extent (=how much) did she influence his decision? to such an extent that/to the extent that (=so much that) Violence increased to the extent that residents were afraid to leave their homes. ----from longman
谢谢summer 从longman的解答,还有石头人的句子分解,这样结合着看就清楚很多了
原句: In astronomy the term "red shift" denotes the extent to which light from a distant galaxy has been shifted toward the red, or long-wave, end of the light spectrum by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth.
简单理解此句为: the term "red shift" denotes (how much ) light has been shifted by the rapid motion
但问题也来了,这里是否应该是how long? 这样好像说的更通一下呀! |
