  • 词义辨析

    下面各组中的句子意思相同:

    The fact is that they don't know him.(正式)
    The fact is, they don't know him.(口语)
    Fact is that they don't know him.(口语)
    Fact is, they don't know him.(口语)

    as a matter of fact, in fact, in point of fact

    这组短语均用来表示情况是否真实,期望是否实现,猜测是否正常或用来进一步补充情况。它们的区别在于:
    1.in fact多用来进一步描写或解释已说过的话。例如:
    Harbin is a very scenic spot in China; in fact, it is one of the most scenic spots in the world.哈尔滨是中国的一处名胜,事实上,它是世界上最优美的风景区之一。
    2.in point of fact多用来表示前面说的或做的与实际情况相反。例如:
    He gave out that he was a rich merchant's son. In point of fact, he was a hooligan.他自称是富商的儿子,实际上,他是个流氓。
    3.as a matter of fact常用来引导令人感到意外或惊奇的消息或情况。例如:
    “You speak English very well.”“Yes, well,I am English as a matter of fact.”“你的英语说得很好。”“是啊,我本来就是英国人”。

    fact, event

    两者区别在于:
    1.fact的意思是“事实”,以区别于想象或虚构的事物。例如:
    Most of his ideas can be rendered down to a system of thinking based on outdated facts.他的大多数观点都可归纳在一个基于过时的论据的思想体系里。
    2.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(国家的、社会的、边界的等)。例如:
    It was quite an event when a woman first became prime minister.妇女首次当上了首相的确是件大事。
    Two events received public attention during the month.这一个月中有两件大事引起了公众的注意。
    Events proved the folly of such calculations.事情的进展证明了这种估计是愚蠢的。
