这句该怎么翻译?
2,Although I had been invited to the opening ceremony ,I was unable to attend ( ) such short notice;
A to B in C with D on
这题该选什么,
He is a man of independent thinking who is not about to pay compliments to his boss;
这句该怎么翻译呢?be about to

Answer 1

1.把另一种文化的音乐称作“原始”是把自己的标准强加在一个并不认同他们的群体.
2.尽管我背邀请参加开幕仪式,但我是临时得到通知,还是无法参加.
on such short notice临时通知,通知的时间是如此之短.如果没有such,经常用at short notice,临时通知
3.be about to是打算,即将要做的事情
