昨天的句子
1.我发现了我们的问题在于中文不好。
你就记住了：
A dwarf B 的意思就是 A比B大； A 比B牛！
= B is dwarfed by A
昨天的句子的问题在于没有比较过新技术利弊的大小。
原文：一男有优点，但一男也有缺点。
选项：一男的缺点比优点大。（文章没有说，所以不对！）
选项：一男的缺点可能比优点大（对！确实存在这种可能性。）
选项：一男的优点可能比缺点大（也对！确实存在这种可能性。）
这就是套路不要想当然！！！
2.Social media has changed in no small measure our way of communication
(in no small measure= in large measure=极大地)
社交媒体极大地改变了我们的交流方式。
