您好,
“i.e.”是拉丁詞ID EST的縮寫,它的意思是 "that is"(那是) 以及“in other words” (換句話說).
請(qǐng)注意,當(dāng)句中出現(xiàn)“i.e.”,往往是一個(gè)進(jìn)一步的定義.這也可以是一個(gè)比喻或暗喻.文章中,如果您想使用“i.e.”來替換“in other words” (換句話說),或反之替換是有意義并可行的.
“i.e.” 以及 “in other words” 的(替換) 例句:
It happened in August; i.e., two months ago.
It happened in August, in other words, two months ago.
以上兩者(例句)意思是相同的.
翻譯:它發(fā)生在八月份,換句話說兩個(gè)月前.
Service charge is included in all prices, i.e., you don't have to leave a tip.
Service charge is included in all prices, in other words, you don't have to leave a tip.
以上兩者(例句)意思是相同的.
翻譯:小費(fèi) (服務(wù)費(fèi))已經(jīng)包含在所有的價(jià)格中,換句話說你不需要再(另)額外給小費(fèi).
