We dance therefore we are, 意思

We ...., therefore we are. 這個句型是來自笛卡爾的「我思故我在」 I think, therefore I am.

當你喜歡某種東西，好像什麼東西的存在都可以懷疑，但你喜歡的那個東西，讓你對自己的存在深信不移，你就可以用動詞套用這個句型，「我...故我在」。

We ...., therefore we are. 動詞後面，最好加逗點。雖然現在很多人怎麼說就怎麼寫，句子短就不寫逗點，但我們自己寫的時候，最好還是加逗點。

To Kevin,

Talking about the usage of English punctuation can be a tricky business. For the past few days, the question of whether or not to use a comma before an adverbial clause introduced by "because" has brought about a lot of discussions on Yahoo!Answers.

In the case of "I think, therefore I am", the use of a comma is worth more discussion. I am glad you brought it up.

-- to continue

While there is a convention to use a semicolon to connect two independent clauses without a conjunction, I don't think it applies to this situation; the relation between "I think" and "I am" is too close to use a semicolon.


-- to continue

2010-02-21 12:12:08 補充：
When two clauses are short and interconnected, a comma instead of semicolon should be used. That's why you see a lot more instances of "I win, you lose" than "I win; you lose." A semicolon used in situations like this would totally choke the feeling of interconnection.

By the same token, the two main ideas in "I think, therefore I am" are so close that a semicolon seems a spoiler.

Look at this example, and imagine if we had put semicolons between the short clauses in the quote:

"A win-win situation should be the result of a professional sales, not the 'I succeed, you fail, see you around!' attitude."

The continuity of the thought would be broken, don't you agree?

再投ssseditor一票

很同意ssseditor的回答：“我舞故我在”。

To ssseditor,
Since you mentioned it, the comma should've been a semicolon, if we were to be serious. Right?

To ssseditor,
Nicely and convincingly argued your point is!
As a non-native user,I admit sometimes I'm much too into rules. Yes, using a semicolon could be awkward here, but how about adding an "and" after the comma instead?

2010-02-21 22:11:46 補充：
I think, and therefore I am.
I succeed, you fail, and see you around!

Pardon my being so grammar-addicted. ^_^

直翻我沒辦法,中文看不出這句的語意.
4)我們跳舞因此我們存在 <--最接近.

真正的意思是---
我們因舞蹈而永垂不朽.

(非傳教)
聖經上上帝的自我介紹是 I am who I am.
上帝不是說"我就是我,你問個屁."
中文聖經翻的是,"我是自有永有的."
在中文中,就是永垂不朽的意義.

只有"我們因舞蹈而永垂不朽."才是最正確的翻法.

ssseditor 對,別選我.
語意我比較對(我覺得)
但是他講的是成文的翻法.
他的答案才是你要的答案.

另,ssseditor,五個字內基本上不用逗點.

因此我們跳舞我們是.
