例句与用法
- It may appear singular , and , indeed , not a little ludicrous , that an affair of this kind , which , in later days , would have been referred to no higher jurisdiction than that of the selectmen of the town , should then have been a question publicly discussed , and on which statesmen of eminence took sides
这类事情如果推迟若干年,最多交由市镇行政管理委员会这一级去裁处,而在当时,居然要兴师动众地加以讨论,而且还要有显要人物来参与,看来未免稀奇,也确实有点荒唐可笑。
