✔ 最佳答案
以某些東西來算
以某些東西為本

以錢來算
in terms of money
or
in money terms

e.g. You cannot measure the success of this project only in terms of profit. It also has advertising effect.
不能單以利潤來衡量這計劃,還要包括它的宣傳效果.

e.g. The essay is not bad in terms of structure but not so good in terms of content.
從結構來看這短文還算不錯,但內容則很差.

e.g. Though he is not rich, he is very successful in terms of the friends he has.
以他朋友的來算,他是一個成功的人,

One of the correct usages of "in terms of" is to express your unit in measurement, e.g.We measured sales in terms of the number of units sold per year, rather than in dollars taken in per year.

Many people use it for defining the context, however, it can actually be replaced by many simpler constructs.

About office hours: they're from two to four. Concerning/Regarding office hours, they're from two to four. As concerns/regards office hours, they're from two to four. As for office hours, they're from two to four. With respect/regard to office hours, they're from two to four.
