一、例句
All members of the Republican caucus believe, with some justification, that Democrats began the breaking of the judicial nominations process, and that this unprincipled act is payback for past wrongs. (选自 The Economist)
二、句子解析
参考译文:共和党党团的所有成员都认为,民主党开始破坏司法提名程序,这种无原则的行为是对过去错误的报复,这是有一定道理的。
这句话选自 9 月 26 日《经济学人》Leaders 版块的 After RBG 一文。
当我们想表达“某人认为......,这是有一定道理的“时,就可以使用“{X} believe, with some justification, that {Y}.”这个地道、好用的句式。
其中的 believe 还可以替换成 argue, insist, claim, allege, contend 等词。
需要注意,X 是名词,Y 是完整的句子。
