例句:That makes no sense, all the more so given that he is the most beloved one. 这说不通,特别是考虑到他是最受宠的那个。
这里的so可以理解为替代前面的——“that makes no sense” 吗? 后面的部分可以理解为单独的分句吗?
同理:nowhere more so than in:
wins and losses matter everywhere, but perhaps nowhere more so than in South Korea.
That makes no sense, all the more so given that he is the most beloved one.
【翻译】这毫无道理,考虑到他是最受人爱戴的人,特别是这样。(given that 引出条件从句)
Wins and losses matter everywhere, but perhaps nowhere more so than in South Korea.
【翻译】赢与输在任何地方都非常重要,但在韩国可能尤为这样。(= 字面:但或许没地方比得上韩国)
so 是个“替代词”,它可以替代一个词、一个词组,甚至表示并替代修饰前句谓语动词的一个程度副词。在这两句的使用方法便是。然后被all the more 和more 修饰。
all the more so = more so:特别这样;更是这样。
解析so 被much 或 more 修饰:
Are you enjoying your holiday? — Verymuch so. 你的假期过得愉快吗? —— 很愉快。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》
——这个so 是替代 I am enjoying my holiday 的, very much 表示程度,修饰动词 enjoying。等于说:
I am enjoying my holiday very much.
The band is popular and likely to becomemore so. 这支乐队非常受青睐,而且或许会愈加受青睐。《朗文当代英语词典》
——这个 so 替代 popular。所以,more so = more popular。等于说:
The band is popular and likely to becomemore popular.
Hes quite bright. — well, certainlymore sothan his brother. 他相当聪明——嗯,一定比他哥哥聪明得多。《剑桥高阶英语词典》
——这个 so 替代 bright。所以,more so = more bright。等于说:
Hes quite bright. — well, certainlymore brightthan his brother.
She had always been silent and thoughtful, and now she was more so than ever.
她一直就是一个沉静和深思的女生,目前她变得更是如此了。
