Question

amounts to
怎么翻译成朝向的意思?这个含义是怎么来的?
错了，是意味着

Answer 1

amount to 在朗文英英字典的解释如下
amount to
1.if figures,sums etc amount to a particular total,they equal that total when they are added together
Time lost through illness amounted to 1,357 working days.
2.if an attitude,remark,situation etc amounts to something,it has the same effect
The court's decision amounts to a not guilty verdict.
Ultimately,their ideas amount to the same thing .
3.not amount to much/anything/a great deal etc
to not be important,valuable,or successful
Her academic achievements don't amount to much.
Jim's never going to amount to much.
理解成“意味着”应该是符合第二个解释,也就是说某件事“意味着”一定的后果.还是看英英解释吧.中文的有时候很难理解.
