英语短语 "so far as…be concerned" 的核心含义是 "就……而言;至于……;在……方面",用于从特定角度或层面引出观点、评价或事实,强调"从……的角度来看"。
短语的完整结构为:
关键注意点:
1、 be动词的变化:be动词需与前面的主语(即"…"部分的核心名词)在人称、数、时态上一致:
主语为第一人称I:am(现在时)/ was(过去时)
主语为第二人称you/复数名词:are(现在时)/ were(过去时)
主语为第三人称单数(he/she/it/单数名词):is(现在时)/ was(过去时)
2、 "so far as"的替换:有时可与"as far as…be concerned"互换,语义几乎一致("so far as"更口语化,"as far as"更正式)。
该短语常用于引出讨论的视角,可放在句首、句中或句尾,使表达更聚焦。以下是常见场景:
用于明确"从我的/我们的角度来看",强调主观态度。
So far as I'm concerned, the new policy will do more harm than good.(就我而言,这项新政策弊大于利。)
We don't need to worry about the cost, so far as we're concerned.(至于成本,我们不用担心。)
用于限定讨论的范围(如"就环境/学生/预算而言")。
So far as the environment is concerned, reducing plastic use is urgent.(就环境而言,减少塑料使用刻不容缓。)
The project is on schedule, so far as its timeline is concerned.(就时间安排而言,项目进展顺利。)
So far as the students are concerned, the exam is too difficult.(就学生而言,这次考试太难了。)
当讨论过去的情况时,be动词需用过去式(was/were)。
So far as she was concerned, the party was a total disaster.(就她而言,那次派对彻底搞砸了。)
The plan was feasible so far as the budget was concerned last year.(去年就预算而言,这个计划是可行的。)
"so far as"后可接宾语从句,进一步细化角度。
So far as what he said is concerned, I don't agree with any of it.(就他说的话而言,我一点都不认同。)
So far as how to solve the problem is concerned, we need more data.(至于如何解决这个问题,我们需要更多数据。)
遗漏be动词:错误表达如"So far as I concerned"(应为So far as I am concerned);"So far as the problem concerned"(应为So far as the problem is concerned)。
be动词形式错误:主语为单数时误用复数be动词,如"So far as the company are concerned"(应为is)。
"so far as…be concerned"是限定讨论视角的实用短语,核心是"从……的角度看"。使用时需注意be动词与主语的一致,通过它能让表达更精准、聚焦。
