I’ve always told myself, it’s the little/ simple things in life that matters, and I’ve held on to this truth. I don’t need extravagant parties or multitude of wealth and gifts to keep me happy, yes NGL they do provide a sense of temporary satisfaction, but it’s in the meaningful relationships I have with the people around me, the moments and memories that we create that gives me a sense of long lasting fulfilment.
I can go on and on and on about my thoughts but the point is - how you guys have made me feel. ❤️ Thank you all of you for the birthday wishes! And for all of the moments that we’ve shared. You know who you are ☺️
Ps. Someone please help 翻译 to 中文如果不明白 🤣🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Uriah, continue to do good and to do right. Goodnight.
how long中文 在 [文法] How long has it been since you.... - 看板Eng-Class 的推薦與評價
大家好，想請教一下
在這個網站 https://english.ecominfozone.net/archives/3260 提到：
----------
How long is it since you last had a visitor?
It is five years since we last had a visitor.
= We haven’t had a visitor for five years.
(你們多久沒有訪客了? 我們已有五年沒有訪客了。)
(說明)
就版主的理解，”How long has it been since you last had a visitor?” 這種說法
已經逐漸被人們接受 (不管是否為積非成是)。英文單字 “since” 前面通常都用完成式
，為何唯獨這種句型要用非要用現在簡單式？美國人或多或少也會搞不清楚吧！
-----------
不曉得這裡是不是有筆誤？
那位版主是不是要說「就版主的理解，”How long 'is it' since you last had a
visitor?” 這種說法已經逐漸被人們接受...」。
而他認為”How long 'has it been' since you last had a visitor?” 才是正確的。
不過OALD倒是也有收錄類似例句：
It's twenty years since I've seen her.
How long is it since we last went to the theatre?
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/since_2
所以依該版主的意見，這是否算是已經「積非成是」的用法了呢？
另外文章接著有提到：
---------
我們甚至可以發現下面這種邏輯不合的句子：
“The guy you’re looking for has just left.”
“For how long ago?” – 邏輯怪怪的!
“I don’t know. A couple of hours, maybe.”
-----------
請問「邏輯怪怪」的意思是不是在於，對方已經說了那人剛剛離開，而回應者卻還問「多
久以前？」
那如果這樣的回應不佳，不知是否有更好的回問方式呢？
以上請教各位。謝謝！
為何我會這樣認真看待這篇文章呢？
因為該版主是一名譯者，也有在清大學與交大外語任教，背景十分專業。
故對其內容我也審慎以對。
PS 我有寫信問他，不過還沒有回應，若有回應我在文章裡更新。
