在这句中,Greek为何是专有名词?
The computer is Greek to my mother.在这句中,Greek 既不是指希腊人,也不是指希腊语,所以不是专有名词,但为何第一个字母仍要大写?

Answer 1

In this sentence,the word "Greek" in deed refers to the "Greek language",so it is in fact a proper name and needs to be capitalized.The meaning of the sentence is that my mother does not know anything about computers,and does not know the Greek language,so to her,using a computer is just like reading the Greek language.查看原帖>>
