前面已經(jīng)提到這種用法，這里回顧一下。

6. There is also methodological limitation. 還有方法論上的限制。

7. the very beginning of the literary reception of John Milton

8. I could give you a technical reason. 從專業(yè)角度解釋。

9. It is a kind of allegorical place. 寓言中才會出現(xiàn)的地方。

10. There are reasonably philosophical or scientific grounds for worrying about each

one of the premises.

11. A woman could be considered and should be considered as excellent a creature as

a man, that women might actually be as ontologically valuable as men. The scriptural

account of the priority of the sexes, the Genesis story of Adam and Eve established

no such thing.

從存在論上來說，女人實際上應(yīng)有和男人一樣的價值。圣經(jīng)中關(guān)于男性先于女性

的論述，上帝創(chuàng)造亞當和夏娃的故事并不能證明性別地位一說。

12. a common sense biological understanding of the world 常識性生物知識

13. Many languages do have a standard form—particularly on paper—and this is

what we learn, but they probably also have a variety of regional dialects and social

styles, and many are the products of the historical mingling of other languages.

許多語言都有規(guī)范形式，特別是書面語，這也是我們要學習的，但它們也可能有

許多方言以及多種社交語體，許多是與其他語言混合的歷史產(chǎn)物。
