Question

I don't mean后选什么？

By industry, I don't mean______usually thought of when that word is associated with companies and industries. A.what is B.that we C.all 这道题选什么？这道题什么意思？

Answer 1

选A.
what
is
By
industry,
I
don't
mean
what
is
usually
thought
of
when
that
word
is
associated
with
companies
and
industries.
翻译（意译了）：“我说的“industry”(产业），并不是指通常说的公司和工业厂家。”
mean
后需要个宾语，同时后面的定语从句要个关系代词引领。这里what(=the
thing
that)含有这双重含义在里面。
前面的by
industry
可能是个“拦路虎”的难点。给你个例句看看这个by
的用法，你就会明白了。
例：A:
I
really
don't
know
if
I
am
going
to
be
there.
B:
What
do
you
mean
by
that?
“A:
我真不知道(到时）我会不会在那里。
B:　你这么说什么意思？”
这里的by
industry
是同样用法。　
词组"be
associated
with":
“和....有关系（有联系）,和。。。有关”的意思。
这里的the
word这个字眼是被人们和什么什么联系起来的，所以用被动
is
associated
with
...。
associate单词例句：
He
doesn't
associate
with
those
people.
他不和那些人来往。
