与certain相关的网络例句 [注：此内容来源于网络，仅供参考]

Some metaphysicians contend that the relation between the lump and the statue, on the one hand, and the relation between Tib and Tibbles, on the other, cannot be fully understood in terms of the concepts of parthood and identity, but require a further concept, a non-mereological concept, the concept of "constitution": the pre-existent lump at a certain point in time comes to constitute the statue (or a certain quantity of gold or certain gold atoms that first constituted only the lump come to constitute them both); pre-existent Tib at a certain point in time comes to constitute Tibbles (or certain cat-flesh or certain molecules …).

一些形上学家承认在金块和雕像之间、Tib和Tibbles之间的关系，这些关系不能完全根据"parthood"和" identity"的概念进行理解，而必须要一个进一步的概念，一个non-mereological的概念，"构成"的概念：先在存在的金块在时间中的某个点构成了雕像（或，一定数量的金子或金粒子首先构成了金块，继而构成了这两个。）先在的Tib在某个时间点开始构成了Tibbles（或某些确定的猫肉、粒子等等）。

Although certain appears to be an absolute term, it is frequently qualified by adverbs, as in fairly certain or quite certain.

尽管certain 像一个独立的词，它也经常被副词的限定，如相当确定或非常肯定。
