3. protect against,protect from 在防御意义上,它们的用法很微妙。当防备的是一实实在在所面临的事物时,用from;若防备的是一个理论上的可能会发生 的事
物时,用against。试比较:
He raised his arm to protect his face from the blow.
They have protected the warship against torpedoes.
句 是针对他所面临的一击。句 是针对的攻击还没有发生。再如,在保险业中表示投保意义时,用against,实际上也是针对某种可能的不利因素。
33.as a matter of fact,as good as,as it is 这三个短语都涉及实际上,事实上 的意思。as a matter or fact, 事实上、实际上,有对比之意。I thought you wouldnt mind. Well, as a matter of fact I dont, but you should have asked me first. 我原以为你不会在意。事实上我并不介意. 可你应该先问问我。
as good as 可用作副词性质的修饰语,没有对比的意味,表示 实质上差不多等于:He as good ns refused. 他实际上等于拒绝了。The matter is as good as settled. 这事情就算
解决了.as it is,事实上 用于指出即将述说的是一个事实:I thought things would get better, but as it is they are getting worse. 我原以为情况会好起来,但事实是. 情况在变坏。
34.as a whole ,on the whole 这两个短语很相像, 但用法有别。
as a whole 是把某事物当做一个整体来对待,不是各部分割裂开来对待,经常用作后置修饰语:We have had a few
setbacks, but the year as a whole has been a successful one for us. 我们有过一些挫折,但这一年总的说来我们是有成就的。
on the whole强调方方面面作全面的考虑. 经常用作评注性状语:On the whole ,I like it. 总的说来,我喜欢它。
