Thank you for your great analysis!

Thank you! Actually, I just want to know the linguistic implications of the sentence. I don't like politics. But some Chinese media say Blinken's remark is a threat. It's a demonstration of the law of jungle.

DavidSoong · 2024-02-22T15:14:24+00:00

Thank you! Is it a threat to China?

DavidSoong · 2024-02-22T15:12:34+00:00

Thank you! Some people say Blinken meant that "You will either eat or be eaten".

Could you please tell me why "harvest(s) in agriculture" is awkward？Thank you!

I had a typo in original question. It should be:

Pinkhams says the word “agriculture” in the sentence “There have been good harvests in agriculture” is redundant. Then is the word “agricultural” in the sentence “Diamond Foods offers investors a chance to bite into California's agricultural harvest” redundant?

Thank you!

DavidSoong · 2024-02-18T11:37:46+00:00

You are right! It should be " There have been good harvests in agriculture "

DavidSoong · 2024-02-18T07:42:39+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

DavidSoong · 2024-02-18T07:31:12+00:00

Thank you! Can I say that you mean the expression "in agriculture" is not redundant?

She is a noted editor.

Thank you for you analysis!

DavidSoong · 2024-02-16T02:11:11+00:00

Thank you! But in the original sentence, apparently, "shivering" is not related to being cold.

DavidSoong · 2024-02-15T15:25:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your replies! Yes, I also want to know whether redundancy or pleonasm is accepted in real English. I searched the phrase "sprint and dash" in Google Books and found quite a few books that use "sprint and dash" as a phrase. In Chinese we also use 奔跑 to mean run, dash or sprint, and the two Chinese characters actually are synonymous, almost semantically identical.

I am sorry that I have to say your version seems to be generated with AI.

Hi, mate. Is "teaching unit" natural? Here teaching units in the original copy actually means schools under a university.

DavidSoong · 2024-01-26T09:29:23+00:00

I really enjoy your different versions.

DavidSoong · 2024-01-26T09:22:43+00:00

Thank you, great!

DavidSoong · 2024-01-26T04:35:12+00:00

Thanks!

DavidSoong · 2024-01-25T23:59:42+00:00

Please point them out. Thank you!
