Even if you're not a big fan of mobile games, there is one idea in today's lesson that should be examined a bit more: Honor of Kings is crazy popular, and its game assistant has in turn become crazy popular too. What's going on with "in turn?"
即使你不喜歡手遊,今天課程上有一個關鍵點也值得再次推敲:Honor of Kings is crazy popular, and its game assistant has in turn become crazy popular too.這一句話當中的in turn作何理解?
We can think of in turn have two related but slightly different meanings. The first is quite simple: just following the correct order or sequence, or "one after the other." The second meaning though might help us tounder stand the above sentence a bit better. It's also related to order, but this is an order which both causes events and is affected bythem. So, going back to Honor of Kings for amoment: The game assistant wouldn't be popular if the game it self weren't popular, but the game assistant surely also makes the original game more popular.
in turn通常有兩個相關但卻不甚相同的意思。第一個意思很好理解,跟次序有關,就是『相繼、依次』的意思。第二個意思能夠幫我們更好理解今天的課文。這個意思也跟次序有關,意思是相應地,也就是說這是前者導致的結果。回到王者榮耀的例子裡,也就是說如果遊戲本身沒有那麼流行遊戲助手也不可能那麼流行,但遊戲助手的存在也讓原遊戲更加流行。
In the sentences below, 1 and 2 are examples of the first meaning of "in turn," while 3 and 4 are examples of the second sense.
在以下的例句裡,1和2是取了第一個意思,而3和4則是第二個意思。
