you could do worse than/begin with a man and a woman and any m

只看楼主收藏回复


George Champon wrote about opera, “If an extraterrestrial being or two appear before us and say, what is your society like, what is this Earth thing all about, you could do worse than take that creature to an opera.” Because opera does, after all, begin with a man and a woman and any motion.
这句话要表达什么东西?
主要是:you could do worse than take that creature to an opera
begin with a man and a woman and any motion
想讲什么东西啊。。。

        第一句是如果你对歌剧采用那个措施你将做的更糟糕。

            extraterrestrial being 外来生物
            如果有外星人问你地球社会生态是怎样的
            you could do worse than take that creature to an opera
            你直接带它(that creature) 去看opera可能比你去解释要好
            Because opera does, after all, begin with a man and a woman and any motion.
            为什么呢?opera的开始不就是一男一女用他们的姿势动作去表达(表演)
            圣经中提到 -人类社会生态的开始也是一样 一男一女用...(我想你知道是什么了)

              还有you could do worse than do 后面加的是 更好的做法 对吗?
              还是他讲话时少讲了个not?这个怎么用的?
              opera和圣经你讲的我还是不能联系起来,不过算了。。你们思维好跳跃。。完全没关系嘛!!!

                  有没有少了not我不知道 但我想你的原文一定不太正确
                  因为我知道George Chapman才是是正确名字
                  圣经那段是比喻 外国人大都信亚当 夏娃是人类的起源
                  他指的是 人类的社会是一男一女演变开去的 opera也是有很多关于男女之间的事
                  例 - romeo and juliet

                      you can/ could do worse than do sth: used to say that you think sth is a good idea
                      If you want a safe investment, you could do a lot worse than put your money in a building society.
