1. 释义:mentioned before in an early part of a document, article, book etc
2. 理解:"aforementioned"是形容词,从构词来看意思是“前面提到的、前述”。相当于that is previously mentioned, 多用于较正式的口语和写作中,简洁利落。
"aforementioned"前面会加the, 在一篇文章、一个演讲或介绍中先提到过某事、某物,后面再次提及就可用到这个词。
同义词:above-mentioned
3. 应用:
1)翻译:这本书第五章里的一个观点好像和前面提到的观点相冲突。
An argument in Chapter 5 seems to be contradictory to the aforementioned claim.
2) This city is much bigger than the aforementioned one.(更大的城市)
