我聽過「i.e.」是「therefore」的簡寫，今天問一位英文很棒的同學，他說「i.e.」是「that is」，究竟哪個是答案？抑或兩個都不是？答案又有怎樣的典故呢？
謝謝。
i.e.？

✔ 最佳答案
i.e. "that is" Abbreviation for id est
"That is (to say)", "in other words", or sometimes "in this case", depending on the context. Never equivalent to exempli gratia (e.g.).[1]
Id est, i.e., "that is", is commonly abbreviated "i.e."; in this usage it is sometimes followed by a comma, depending on style.[2]
