【用 as in... 做补述】
as in这个短语是用来补述,好让意思能让人更明白,常用在解释拼字的时候:
A: My name is Meg.
我叫做梅格。
B: Is that M as in Mary, E as in elephant, and G as in girl?
那是Mary的m、elephant的e,girl的g吗?
as in可以用来进一步解释情况,犹如中文里的“像……那种”:
A: I just ate a Chinese buffet for only 2.99 dollars.
我刚只花了2.99美元吃了份中式自助餐。
B: As in the all-you-can-eat kind? That's so cheap!
是吃到饱的那种吗?还真便宜!
你也可以用as in来提问,以确定自己没有误会对方的意思:
A: I made a million last year.
我去年赚了一百万。
B: Is that as in dollars?
你说的一百万是美元吗?
