Question

for one thing可以单独用吗

Answer 1

不可以。“for one thing”和“for another”一起用，意思是：一方面，另一方面。

例句：Why don't you get a car?

Well, for one thing I can't drive, for another, I can't afford one.

翻译：你怎么不买辆车呢?

一方面我不会开车，另一方面也匀不出钱。

近义词

on the one hand, on the other hand，意思是：一方面，另一方面。

如：On the one hand, if the body doesn't have enough cholesterol, we would not be able to survive. On the other hand, if the body has too much cholesterol, the excess begins to line the arteries.

翻译：一方面，如果体内没有足够的胆固醇，我们就无法存活下去。另一方面，如果体内胆固醇过高，多余的胆固醇就会附着在动脉内壁上。
