我们争论了很久....嗯,你的理解和我相同.但这个意思真的非常多.
among other things的definition:
"When you use the phrase among other things, you are indicating that something is one characteristic, example, situation, etc. of many other characteristics, examples, situations, etc. which you could have mentioned instead. "
英语论坛上的某人求助
"It would be right to describe your father, among other things, as a very hard-working person."
Could you please use another phrase to explain the confusing saying "among other things"?
"Fisrt of all"?
答复
your father is a hard working person. He is many other things (left-handed, bald, vain, six-toed, sober, male, mature, half-dressed, generous, tidy) but I want to emphasize his hard work. So, among other things, he's hard working.
所以说,不能一味认为它就是“其中之一”,虽然大多数情况下翻译为其中之一,但是除了 examples, situations,它还可能是指characteristics或者其他。
