LECTURE 200 基本介词 TO 2

词组讲解

1. to the best of one's ability ** 尽力

解 习语;词义溯源:达到某人能力的[最大限度(the best)]

例 I know you're trying to learn to the best of your ability, so I hope you don't take this the wrong way , but I think maybe computer programming is a bit too difficult for you, Wendy.

2. to the best of one's knowledge ** 据某人所知

解 习语;词义溯源:达到某人[知识(knowledge)]的[极限(the best)]

例 When asked if he had actually seen a gun, Officer O'Reilly testified that the young man reached for something in his jacket and that he believed it was a gun. The prosecutor rephrased the question several times, to which O'Reilly responded “To the best of my knowledge he had a gun” each time.

3. to the contrary ** 相反,反而

解 习语;词义溯源:向[反面、相反(contrary)]

例 Some parents defend their children even when they know they've done something wrong. Defending a loved one to the last may be an honorable gesture in some cases, but not in this one. Children should learn to face the consequences of their actions, not to hide behind Mommy and Daddy.

5. to whom it may concern ** 敬启者;致有关人士

解 习语;词义溯源:对于[有关人士(whom it may concern)];正式信件的开头,用于不知收信者具体身份时的称呼
