04 argue

[ˈɑ:rgju:] v.

可以说(It can be argued that...)

argue语境含义

你会使用argue这个单词吗?比如It is unarguable that...; There are grounds to argue that...等。

说到argue,很多同学马上会想到“争吵;争辩”的意思。其实,argue含有“白色”的词根,比如Argentina 阿根廷(白银之国)。因此,只要描述“清楚阐述理由”的时候通常都可以使用这个单词。常见搭配有:...would argue that...;It can be argued that...;It can be equally argued that...;It is unarguable that...;...argue for...;There are grounds to argue...
