Also, the use of "however" changes the meaning: "however costly" implies that the cotton gin would have made cotton cloth affordable no matter how costly it was previously. In contrast, the original sentence only states that cotton cloth had previously been costly. 我看不太懂......... -- Que Pasa -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.105.27.111
