Grammar Points

谁…就…Whoever… then…HSK 3

用来表述泛指条件:谁符合前一半的情况,后一半就会发生。文中写李林甫遇到比自己才能强或受信任的人,就想办法除掉他。

"谁的才能、功劳超过了他,或者谁受到了皇帝的信任,他就要想方设法地除掉他。"

…,因此,…Therefore/Consequent resultHSK 3

连接两个句子,前句是原因,后句自然引出结果。这里说明李林甫迎合皇帝后,因此获得了信任与宠爱。

"皇帝喜欢什么,他就做什么,因此,得到唐玄宗的信任和宠爱。"

…,所以,…So/ResultHSK 2

用来说明前句的动作/状态导致后句结果。例句中李义府藏有奸计,所以人们称他“笑里藏刀”。

"唐高宗时的大臣李义府…可是心里却藏着杀人的奸计,所以人们说他“笑里藏刀”。"

…,可是,…But/ContrastHSK 3

表达转折,对比外表和内心的反差;句中李义府对人面带笑容,可是心里藏有害人计划。

"见人说话总是面带笑容,可是心里却藏着杀人的奸计。"

…就是由…来的Derived fromHSK 5

说明一个事物的来源或演变。文中解释成语“口蜜腹剑”就是由“口有蜜,腹有剑”演化而来。

"成语“口蜜腹剑”就是由“口有蜜,腹有剑”简化来的。"
