這裡的 seeing as 意思跟 it seems as 一樣嗎?

很接近!其實 seeing as 的意思類似於 since,後面會接解釋原因的陳述句 (就是哈利講說「我們兩個都無法跟真正想同行的人一起去」的部分)。也能將這裡的 seeing as 講成 considering。 例句: Seeing as it's raining today, why don't we postpone our hike to another day? = Since it's raining today, why don't we postpone our hike to another day? (既然今天下雨,我們何不把健行延後到其他日子呢?) 例句: Seeing as it's the weekend, we should go out and do something fun. = Since it's the weekend, we should go out and do something fun. (既然是週末,我們就應該出去做點有趣的事情。)
