精选知识

这种句型我前天看英语新闻也注意到了,主持人用的也是when.要表达的意思是固定的,当什么什么进行的时候,其实（不用这样）,本来可以那样的.——“政府本来可以做点什么阻止示威行动的蔓延,（而不是）没有任何有效的行动.”

干脆当固定用法得了,反正while表示一段时间内发生的事,这里似乎不用强调这一点.

问题5：it is said that that was all that he said= it is said that that was what he said这两个句子相等吗?[英语科目]

两句子意思不同

that was all that he said = that was everything that he said 那是他说的一切,他没说别的什么

that was what he said 那是他说的（但可能不是一切他所说的,他说的话我可能没完全告诉你）

what else did he say?

接下去的回答可以是第一句：that was ALL that he said.

两者的区别,关键在于单词 ALL .
