※ 引述《yuiop0929 (浪費時間達人)》之銘言: : 號稱能擺脫歐盟的束縛,瑞士的自由是被國內和對大歐洲持懷疑論者的所鼓吹的 : 只是此自由目前仍是神話... : ※ 引述《Mensa0801 (Fly by Wire)》之銘言: : : 請教大家這是一篇標題為"THE END OF SWITZERLAND"的文章 : : 裡面有一個句子是這樣的: : : Still another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere, : : has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles. : : 這句意思到底是什麼阿? : : 感謝大家的回答! : 我知道意思 : 但是翻出來還真奇怪 : 還望版友指正 "it is touted at home" (1) "it is touted by Euro-skeptics" --> "it is touted by Euro-skeptics elsewhere" (2) Combine (1) and (2), and we get: "It is touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere." (3) ======================== "another myth has been Switzerland's purported freedom" --> "another myth has been Switzerland's purported freedom (from EU shackles.)" --> "another myth(, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere,) has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles." (see 3) --> "(Still) another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere, has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles." --> "(It's) Still another myth, much touted at home and by Euro-skeptics elsewhere, has been Switzerland's purported freedom from EU shackles." ======================== Hope it helps ^^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 202.169.164.138

hope it doesn't confuse you more ^^

I have a question about the meaning of the first
02/23 12:44, 3F

02/23 12:44, , 4F
paragraph. According to the orginal sentence, AT HOME
02/23 12:44, 4F

02/23 12:46, , 5F
and BY EURO-SKEPTICS ELSEWHERE seem symmetrical
02/23 12:46, 5F

02/23 12:47, , 6F
phrases linked by AND. So it means that the myth is
02/23 12:47, 6F

02/23 12:48, , 7F
touted by the usual people in the Switzerland and
02/23 12:48, 7F

02/23 12:50, , 8F
skeptics of other countries? Or both of them are
02/23 12:50, 8F

02/23 12:50, , 9F
skeptics
02/23 12:50, 9F

02/23 12:52, , 10F
in the Switzerland --> in Switzerland
02/23 12:52, 10F

02/23 12:59, , 11F
i'd go with the former that it is touted by
02/23 12:59, 11F

02/23 13:01, , 12F
people in the Switzerland and those in other
02/23 13:01, 12F

02/23 13:01, , 13F
EU countries ^^
02/23 13:01, 13F

02/23 13:03, , 14F
xD
02/23 13:03, 14F

02/23 16:48, , 15F
i guess i wasn't clear about what i meant sorry
02/23 16:48, 15F

02/23 16:48, , 16F
I would go with the former,
02/23 16:48, 16F

02/23 16:48, , 17F
but it could be the latter. ^^
