[請益] If... / more or less
最近在看一篇介紹書名為 Orientalism 的文章
http://www.lehigh.edu/~amsp/2004/09/introduction-to-edward-said.html
讀到目前有兩個文句不是很懂，也查過文法書了
1. If Orientalism questioned a pattern of misrepresentation
of the non-western world, Culture and Imperialism explored with
a less confrontational tone the complex and ongoing relationships
between east and west, colonizer and colonized, white and black,
and metropolitan and colonial societies.
這裡的 If 應該不是以如果下去解釋對嗎?
(因為 question 與 explore 時態一樣)
應該也不是以是否 (whether) 解釋?
所以就不懂這裡的 If 應該是什麼作用，以及什麼角色..
2. It is unsurprising, therefore that so many early
European studies into, for instance, Persian poetry,
discovered nothing more or less than the terms of
their inquiry were able to allow: mystical religious devotion
and an absence of rationality.
查過文法字典 more or less 可解釋為 或多或少、大至上
但還是看不懂這整句在說什麼 orz
謝謝在這裡熱心的板友!^^
