原文:
One year ago, bales of mixed paper, like those stored outside the Anaheim
recycling center, would have been worth $100 a ton. Today, each ton is worth
"less than $5" or less than zero in some markets, Coupland noted. He added
that much of the industry's backlog may end up in landfills.
請問 此段很明顯意思是說一年前的廢紙價格是一公噸一百美金。(這是過去事實)
但作者為何用would have been worth $100 a ton (與過去事實相反) 而不用
were worth $100 a ton (過去事實) ??
請問有人知道為何作者這樣寫呢?
有大大建議 補一個文法連接
那就這個吧: Practical English Usage (PEU)
