I thought that my upbringing was 'normal', whatever that is…
请问:
1.whatever that is中that如何理解?
2.句子末尾的“...”如何理解?
这是柯林斯词典针对whatever的一个例句!
1 该词典并没用省略号,而是句号。词典内容复制如下:
5. CONJUNCTION
You use whatever when you are indicating that you do not know the precise identity, meaning, or value of the thing just mentioned.
[vagueness]
I thought that my upbringing was 'normal', whatever that is.
所以,没有你所疑惑的省略号问题。
2 that指代前面的名词my upbringing.
