15、得注意的是后面的動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式.課文中用的是 is.4.3 簡(jiǎn)化句中的 relevant,也就是詞組be responsible for后面的這個(gè) sth. 那么,貿(mào)易商究竟要對(duì)哪些 sth 負(fù)責(zé)呢? such necessities as export license, customs clearance, inspections, and4.3.1 such A as B 解釋如的,像的:4.3.2 這里的 A 是指 necessity, 復(fù)數(shù): necessities. necessity 原意:必然的事,決不可無(wú)的事這里可解釋為必定要做的事. 課文中用的是復(fù)數(shù),意思是要做的事情還不止一
