In a sense (以某种方式)具有in a way相似的含义to a certain extent in a way或to a certain extent 。此表达式用于降低语句的效果或强度。让我们举个例子。您可以看到, in a sense ,添加它可以降低句子措辞的总体水平,而不是an unfortunate thing for them说an unfortunate thing for them 。因为,如果您只是简单地unfortunate thing for them说unfortunate thing for them ,就会感觉到100%反映在您的想法中,但是in a sense有些细微的差别表示中立。例子: Failing my interview was a blessing, in a sense. It gave me time to focus on other things. (从某种意义上说,跳过采访可能是一件好事。这使我有时间专注于其他事情。)示例: In a sense, the pandemic provided the opportunity for many to reconnect with friends and family. (从某种意义上说,这种大流行可能使我有机会与家人和朋友团聚。)
