這詞組的意思是“基于某某理由、理據(jù)、基礎(chǔ).”而跟著作出一些判斷、結(jié)論等等.是可以用在句首的,舉一兩個(gè)例子如下：
1.On the grounds that the Police had withheld crucial evidence,the court overturned that decision.(基于警方隱藏、扣起了關(guān)鍵證據(jù),法院以此為由撤銷了那項(xiàng)判決.）
2.On the grounds of excessive spending,the headmaster was against the redecoration of the school.(基于裝修費(fèi)用可能嚴(yán)重超支,校長對(duì)此表示反對(duì).）
當(dāng)然,這句話也可以反過來放在句子后面,“The headmaster was against the redecoration of the school on the grounds of excessive spending.”意思是一樣的.
