為了幫助考生們更好地備戰(zhàn)托?？荚?，出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)托福欄目為您帶來(lái)“教你有逼格的表達(dá)important”，希望對(duì)大家有所幫助!
無(wú)論何種類型的寫作考試，我們都會(huì)頻繁的說(shuō)到某一個(gè)東西很重要。這其實(shí)很好理解。當(dāng)我們?cè)陂_頭表明了立場(chǎng)支持某一個(gè)東西(暫且看成 A)后，如果想證明我們的立場(chǎng)肯定要寫 A 很重要，因?yàn)?A 對(duì) X 有好處。比如環(huán)境很重要，因?yàn)樗绊懘蠹业慕】?再比如錢很重要，因?yàn)樗梢杂脕?lái)改善生活質(zhì)量等等;因此，A 對(duì)于 X 很重要這樣的表達(dá)可以說(shuō)是寫作中最重要的表達(dá)，沒有之一。
sine qua non
解釋
