In a sense (以某種方式)具有in a way相似的含義to a certain extent in a way或to a certain extent 。此表達式用於降低語句的效果或強度。讓我們舉個例子。您可以看到, in a sense ,添加它可以降低句子措辭的總體水平,而不是an unfortunate thing for them說an unfortunate thing for them 。因為,如果您只是簡單地unfortunate thing for them說些unfortunate thing for them ,就會感覺到100%反映在您的想法中,但是in a sense有些細微的差別表示中立。例子: Failing my interview was a blessing, in a sense. It gave me time to focus on other things. (從某種意義上說,跳過採訪可能是一件好事。這使我有時間專注於其他事情。)示例: In a sense, the pandemic provided the opportunity for many to reconnect with friends and family. (從某種意義上說,這種大流行可能使我有機會與家人和朋友團聚。)
