【愛在紐約 It Could Happen To You】

002 Angle: He was a very decent guy, as was his partner, Bo.

＊He was a very decent guy, 他是個很正派的人

Decent是個很重要的字彙，它的用法也很廣泛，除了一般認知的「」高尚的意思外，在不同的場合有不同的意義

例：没有像樣的剧本是不可能有好的表演的。
You can't have good acting without a decent script.

例：He makes a decent living.

       他的生活過得不錯

＊ As was his partner, Bo. 他的搭檔波也一樣

  As is… : 某人也一樣

例：我是個嚴格的老師如同你一樣

I’m a strict teacher, as are you. (As are you, I’m a strict teacher. )

她是你的忠實支持者如同我一樣

      She is a big fan of you, as am I.

      ※As is另外有獨立的法律語意如下：

    例：Apartment is rented as is. : 公寓出租如所見（意指不附加任何東西、不負責維修等等）

例：The software is provided as is. : 該軟體僅就本身提供（不作任何保證、維護…）
