Whereby意思
"Whereby" 是一個英語連詞,用於連線兩個句子或句子成分,表示通過某種方式或手段。它通常用於正式的書面語,尤其是法律檔案、契約、條約或古老的文本中。"Whereby" 通常與 "by which" 或 "by means of which" 同義,但它的用法更加正式和古老。
例如:
-
The treaty, whereby the two countries agreed to end the war, was signed yesterday. (這份條約通過結束兩國戰爭的協定於昨日簽署。)
-
The company has developed a new technology, whereby they can recycle plastic more efficiently. (該公司已經開發出一種新技術,通過該技術他們可以更有效地回收塑膠。)
-
The agreement, whereby both parties will share the profits equally, has been finalized. (雙方將平均分享利潤的協定已經最終確定。)
在現代英語中,"whereby" 並不常用,而且可能會讓一些讀者感到困惑,因為它聽起來很正式,而且用法並不常見。在大多數情況下,它可以用 "by which" 或 "by means of which" 來替換,或者直接用 "by which" 來簡化句子。
