Ignorance more frequently begets.....點解?

Ignorance 是「無知」，與最後的 knowledge 是相對的。

begets confidence 是產生信心。這裡是使人有信心了。
more frequently than 是 adverbial phrase, modifying the verb' begets '.

全句的意思是「無知較學識很多時候更能使人有信心的。」 或
「無知更多時候會較學識，容易產生信心的。」

「螳臂擋車」是我們常用的成語了。

哩句野很有意思呢！就是因為現象極為普遍，所以就有「螳臂擋車」的荒謬行徑了。

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge


你可以咁睇:

Ignorance begets confidence
Ignorance begets knowledge


beget係解招致/引起..動詞黎


Ignorance begets confidence (frequently) more than (Ignorance) (begets) knowledge

1.frequently係adv.,可有可冇...
2.Ignorance前面提及了,可略去
3.後面begets(動詞)可轉成does...冇咁累贅...

Ignorance begets confidence frequently more than does knowledge

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
