# 引入話題

There is an ongoing debate about + 具體(ti) 討論話題

There is an ongoing debate about the stature of a population and what it means for the prosperity and fairness of a nation, but I’m interested in shortness on an individual level. Our success as individuals does not depend on beating up other people or animals. Even if it did, in an era of guns and drones, being tall now just makes you a bigger target.

“就... 而言” speaking of

And yes, speaking of Tesla, today’s newsletter is partly about Elon Musk.

# 邏輯讓步

It's true that + 讓步觀點....But + 自己態度

It’s true that what may be the most important trend in my lifetime — historic progress against global poverty — has stalled because of Covid, climate change and the impact of the Ukraine war on global food prices. But it has not collapsed.

Sure + 讓步觀點.... But + 自己態度

Sure, I have my beefs with Hollywood, with its preachy output and woke agendas. Most of the shows I mentioned above pushed back against toxic masculinity, the punching bag du jour. But increasingly I think streaming is making us smarter, while social media is bringing out the goldfish in us.

assume + 讓步觀點.... But + 自己態度

Noncompetes were long assumed to apply mainly to high-level executives with access to sensitive corporate information. But their use has exploded in the past few decades, extending far beyond the boardroom.

one might figure + 讓步觀點.... Instead + 自己態度

Given all of this, plus the fact that his source material is a near-canonical piece of literature, one might figure White Noise for an awards juggernaut, or at least a solid contender. Instead, White Noise debuted at this year’s fancy film festivals to mostly tepid reviews. It’s arriving online rather quietly, as an end-of-year oddity rather than an instant magnum opus.

前麵說了一個(ge) 讓步觀點，+ “盡管如此（That said）”, 後麵引入自己觀點

That said, Musk has indeed been acting very oddly — and in ways that seem almost perfectly calculated to drive away his best customers.

（In theory +）理論觀點，+ （in practice/reality）, 後麵是實際情況

例子1 In theory, noncompete clauses promote investment and innovation by assuring companies that their employees can’t run off with valuable secrets. And, again in theory, workers should be paid more in exchange for agreeing to sign a contract that restricts their autonomy. But the reality looks very different. We know this because over the past few decades, several states restricted the enforceability of noncompete clauses to various degrees, usually because of court decisions. ...

例子2 Officially, colleges say that students can share as much about their mental health as feels comfortable. But in practice, it seems clear that schools are nervous about accepting adolescents who divulge psychiatric histories.

要注意上麵不管是in reality 還是 in practice 前麵都加上了 But

# 遞進關(guan) 係

前麵簡單說了以後，+ To delve a bit deeper, 後麵細說‍‍‍

To delve a bit deeper, here’s a comparison — using data from Invictus and the American Community Survey — between Steuben County, a very Trumpy area southeast of Buffalo, and Westchester County, a wealthy and very Democratic New York suburb that includes Scarsdale:

“if you look into...”

I think, if you look into the deep motivations driving them, often, it’s like, 2023 is finally going to be the year that I transcend the human condition—the year I overcome the temptation to eat junk food, with more self-discipline than any human ever could have.

# 其他幾個(ge) 表示程度的詞

“在很大程度上”

To a large extent Musk may simply be revealing who he always was — basically, a typical technology oligarch.

basically 在這裏的使用也可以模仿下

“總的來說”

In general, authoritarian instincts and contempt for the little people are a lot more prevalent among the Silicon Valley elite than people realized when information technology still felt cool.

總結

分享比較多的還是 “讓步 + 觀點”的結構，主要也是因為(wei) 社論性的外刊文章一般就是分析一些現象或者觀點，而“分析”最起碼要做到的就是從(cong) 不同角度去論證，所以相關(guan) 的表達也就遇到比較多了。‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
