as it
比如,
Its purpose is to lay bare,as it were,the fundemental problems and concepts which frame this subject.
as it were是个习语还是什么?一般什么场合用呢?
as it 比如,Its purpose is to lay bare,as it were,the fundement
这东西的目的就是在某种意义上,揭示构成这门学科的最基本问题和概念.
as it were 这个词,有点像限定词.一般人说话,为了保证客观性,不显得臆断,就会加一个限定词.比如,我们中国人说:“他可以说是个混球.”这就表明说话者的态度:他是个混球.但是为了显得不那么personal或者武断,说话者就要加一个:可以说是,来表达客观性.
外国人也是这样的.他们加的那个词就是as it were .这个词相当于:so to speak,you might say,you can say,就是:可以这么说,可以这么认为.
甚至,套用流行一点的说法就是:if you know what I mean.你懂的.(我说出来的意思和我心里想的不是全然相同,但是你懂的.这个意思.)
举个例子:
"...and this little cartoon,as it were,I think we can use to demonstrate..."
这句就是说,说话者认为这部动画片可以认为是动画片,但是不完全是动画片,它还有更深的内蕴.
as it were一般用在需要限定的场合.常常是说话者想要含蓄的表达一些意思,或者修正自己前面说的过于武断或者含义不清的话.
再给个例子:He is a cruel teacher,as it were as he forces us to do so much homework.
就是说,他可以说是一个严酷的老师.(但是,说话者其实是在称赞他,或者说是在暗指:后来我们懂了,他对我们的帮助.)
