英语翻译
We can perhaps forgive those who said the moons of Jupiter were produced by Galileo's spyglass if we recall that in his day,as for centuries before,curved glass was the popular contrivance for producing not truth but illusion,untruth; and if a single curved glass would distort nature,how much more would a pair of them?
最后面how much more would a pair of them?中的more啥作用?怎么翻译?做什么成分?
答
if a single curved glass would distort nature,how much more would a pair of them?
完整应为
if a single curved glass would distort nature,how much more would a pair of them distort?
虚拟语气,如果一个曲面镜 就可以扭曲事实,那么一对曲面镜又能扭曲多少呢?
more 是更 又 的意思.
例如：How many more plates do you think you can pile into that cupboard?你说你还能往那个碗橱里再塞进多少碟子?
