With a pleasant and fall-ish climate and temperature today, whereas hotness and humidity summer, i went home,while walking my bike.
According to the weather forecast, tomorrow will be cooler than the TEMP today. At a shopping mall, summer clothes were on sale and almost all shops prepared for upcoming autmn. I recognize Japan still has four clear-cut seasons, though it depends on each topography or location because Japan is perculiar shaped island, which is refered to as "arch-shaped", covering over 3000km lengthwise, from the most northernn part of japan, hokkaido to the most southern part one, okinotori island.
えー、toeflのreadingを珍しくしていました。
in factが出てきたのでご紹介。みなさんは選択肢制の問題だったらここに in factを選びますか、もし入れるならどういうニュアンスで入れてあげますか?
A greenhouse gas is one that absorbs infrared radiation and then reradiates some of this radiation back to Earth. Carbon dioxide, CFCs,methane,and nitrogen oxides are greenhouse gases. The natural greenhouse effect of our atmosphere is welll-established.
In fact, without greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, scientists calculate that Earth would be about 33℃ cooler than it currently is.
このin factの前、の前の文はnegative factorを述べていますよね。
なので、The natural greenhouse effect(⇔greenhouse gus caused by human activiry)は、positiveな要素があると。
in factが「実際」という訳にぴったしはまるかというとそうではないですね。well-established に後続しているということ、それから、その後の文章を見ると w/o greenhouse gus....っていう風に responsibleを述べている。
だから、一般化の「つまり」とかが良さそうです。他にも、「実際には」から少し離れて、「その証拠に」とかも良さそう。
結構一筋縄にいかないものですね。
