最近在空中英語教室p.24看到這一句話
It wasn't long before word about the land's unique beauty began to spread.
不久之後,關於該地獨特美景的口碑開始傳了開來。
請問before word 在這裡主要是什麼意思呢?如果去掉,
只寫這樣It wasn't long about the land's unique beauty began to spread.
意思是不是也一樣呢?
空中英語教室p.20看到這一句話
There are a lot of people out there that want to help the police, but maybe they didn't have an outlet.
有很多人想幫助警方,但也許之前沒有管道。
請問out there 在這裡是什麼意思呢?
謝謝前輩們的回答。
