Reading English scientific and technological literature, I often come across Ie.What does it mean? How to read it?
Nowadays, English is the mainstream language of the world, and it is useless if you are not convinced, because although the United States has declined, people have a strong background, for example, the current AI is still playful, and you still have to learn from others.
However, this was not the case more than 300 years ago, when the popular language was Latin, for example, Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" was written in Latin, and the book was called Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Newton didn't write books in his native language, you should be watered in English).
Later, English rose, but some abbreviations were used to writing in Latin, and at that time, the cost of typesetting and paper was relatively high, so the Latin abbreviations were used in academic circles, so they were used in this way. Of course, Latin is a bit similar to classical Chinese compared to modern Chinese, so using a Latin abbreviation may also be a bit of zhuǎi style.
i.e.It is an abbreviation of the Latin word id est, which means that is in other words. The purpose is to be used to further explain the points made earlier, such as:
[Example sentence 1.]】in 2005, american had the lowest personal s**ing rate since 1933. in fact it was outright neg**etive—i.e., consumers spent more money that they made.
[Example sentence 2].there are three meals in the day (i.e., breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Be careful not to miss ie.The first one"."。In fact, even if the Anglo-Americans themselves often mistakenly omit it.
i.e.This is followed by a comma, followed by an explanatory remark.
i.e.It can also be placed in parentheses, as in example sentence 2.
For the convenience of memory, see ie., you can imagine it as the initials of in essence.
i.e.It can be pronounced eye - ee (aher-yi), or it can be pronounced directly into English that is or in other words.
