查字典上,是 就此而言,至于那个 的意思,我的问题是用在写作中,这个短语表示前后句是一种什么关系?可以说等同于in other words么 or 对前一句进一步详细说明?

Thanks
最佳答案
应该两种意思都有(是in another word吧),根据语境不同
感觉语言都不用深究的吧,照着搬就行。
看看美国人自己的解释。以下内容为引用内容:
“so far as that is concerned”
For that matter: Another way to say this would be "while you are at it"
It would be used when you are generalizing about something. "The electricity went off and we couldn't finish the show we were watching . For that matter we couldn't do anything."

"Write a book, or anything for that matter." This means "Do something. Do anything worthwhile. Do something that is better than what you are doing now."

"The sources of pollution of Ganga or for that matter any other river..." This is stating that any river can be polluted by the sources discussed, not just the Ganga.

as far as i know, ' in other words' means ' on the other side' but 'for that matter' means you are going to explain something in detail or make some examples. so they are quite different .
