词汇讲解
1.not...but rather phrase.
释义:used to say that one thing is not true but a different thing is true 不是……而是……
not…but和not…but rather都是“不是……而是……”的意思。但是but rather比but更强烈地表示与前分句的对比意味,rather 起加强语气作用。
例句:It's not always the truth that hurts, but rather the incorrect way you say it.
其实,事实并不总是伤人的,而是你用错误的方式讲述了这个事实。
but rather也可以单独拿出来用于肯定句,强调转折的语气。
He is fairly clever but rather lazy.
他很聪明,但也相当懒。
请看not...but rather...在美剧《绿箭》中的应用:
It's not what I want, but rather my employer.
2.endure verb.
释义: to be in a difficult or painful situation for a long time without complaining 忍受
例句:It seemed impossible that anyone could endure such pain.
应该是没有人能够忍受这种痛苦的。
在日常用语中,常用stand来代替endure,表示“忍受”的含义。
I couldn't stand the pain
我受不了这种痛苦。
endure(verb.)→endurance(noun.)
victory-defeat
活学活用
not...but rather
英文:The problem is not their lack of funding, but rather their lack of planning.
中文:问题不在于缺少资金投入,而在于缺乏计划。
