TPO7 听力 conversation1

not to seem uninformed 这句话是什么意思?

语境:
Pro: Well, she is really versatile. She just spent several months studying social
interactions in Indonesia and she's been influential in ecology. Oh, and she's also done
work in south of America, this is closer to biology, especially with speciation.



Eric: ah, not to seem uninformed



Pro: Well, how's species form? You know, how two distinct species form from one. Like
when population of the same species are isolated from each other and then developed
into two different directions and ended up with two distinct species.



PS:在坛子里搜了一下, 有人问过这道题, 但是没人回答....

这个帖子好像还不错

"Eric 回应上文那个 she 并不简单，所懂应该不少

英文中常有double negative, 负负得正的语法

Not ... uninformed 即是 quite well informed
Not ... unfamiliar 就是 familiar
Not ... unfriendly 有点 friendly

但这不是一种完全肯定的讲法，英语中的subtlety; 我们的含畜

当你想表达一种原则上的认同但又不至于十分肯定的感觉，就会用上double negative

就好像我们说：

他也不是不好，并不完全肯定他好
他不是不用功，并不能就认为他很用功

这句话，我会这样翻：“啊，看来她也不能说是见识少”"

上面的是我转的，觉得还好
