3.详细解说
1.“to be more exact”意为“更确切地说”,是由“to be exact'’转变过来的。“to be exact”为正式用法,用来强调要说的是准确的,可译为“准确地说,确切地说”。例如:She has worked
at the bank for many years,nine to be exact.(她在银行工作了很多年,准确地说有九年了。)It was more than 20 years ago,to be exact.(确切地说,那是20岁年前的事了。)Most of it
is used for irrigation - 80 percent of it, to be exact. (大部分用于灌溉——确切地说,是80%。)-I still owe you,don't I?- Actually,it's
$30 to be exact.(-我还欠着你的钱,不是吗?-实际上,准确的说,是欠我30美元。)
