On the ground that意思
"On the ground that" 是一個英語短語,用於法律、辯論或正式的書面文本中,表示提出一個理由或依據來支持某個論點、要求或行動。這個短語通常用於指出某個行為或決策的合法、邏輯或道德基礎。
例如:
-
The lawyer argued that the defendant should be released on the ground that there was insufficient evidence to support the charges. (律師認為,由於缺乏支持指控的證據,應該釋放被告。)
-
The committee decided to approve the funding on the ground that it would support important research in the field. (委員會決定批准資金,因為這將支持該領域的重要研究。)
-
The student requested an extension on the assignment on the ground that he had been ill and unable to complete the work on time. (學生請求延長作業的截止日期,因為他生病了,無法按時完成工作。)
這個短語中的"ground"意為「理由」或「依據」,而不是「地面」。在非正式的對話中,這個短語可能不會被使用,而是直接給出理由或依據。
