true
1.What I have said is also true of us Chinese(我所说的话对于我们中国人也是对的)和The same may be true of your friends(你的朋友们也许也是这样)等句子里习惯用of。
2.True, ...和It is ture that...作“…虽然是真的”解,后面通常有but...。例如:
True, this is much cheaper than that, but it is not half so strong. (这个当然比那个便宜得多,但是不及那个的一半坚固。)
It is true that the sentence is grammatically perfect, but it does not read naturally. (这句子虽然在语法上是完美的,但是它读起来不自然。)
这两句可以改作:
This is much cheaper than that, it is true, but it is not half so strong.
The sentence is grammatically perfect, it is true, but it does not read naturally.
下面有三点该注意:
(1)在没有“虽然”的意思的时候不该用True, ...或...it is true,但可以用it is true。例如:
Never is perhaps an exaggeration, but it is true that he often speaks for hours together without mispronouncing a single word.
You may not think much of my work, it is true, however, that I always do my best.
(2)True, ...里偶尔在True后面加上enough。
(3)It is ture that...偶尔作True that...。
