- 1.in fact多用來(lái)進(jìn)一步描寫(xiě)或解釋已說(shuō)過(guò)的話。例如:
- Harbin is a very scenic spot in China; in fact, it is one of the most scenic spots in the world.哈爾濱是中國(guó)的一處名勝,事實(shí)上,它是世界上最優(yōu)美的風(fēng)景區(qū)之一。

- 兩者區(qū)別在于:
- 1.fact的意思是“事實(shí)”,以區(qū)別于想象或虛構(gòu)的事物。例如:
- Most of his ideas can be rendered down to a system of thinking based on outdated facts.他的大多數(shù)觀點(diǎn)都可歸納在一個(gè)基于過(guò)時(shí)的論據(jù)的思想體系里。
- 2.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(國(guó)家的、社會(huì)的、邊界的等)。例如:
- It was quite an event when a woman first became prime minister.婦女首次當(dāng)上了首相的確是件大事。
- Two events received public attention during the month.這一個(gè)月中有兩件大事引起了公眾的注意。
