第415句
It would be reasonable to take the view that... , but it would be foolish to claim that...
译文:拥有…的观点是很正常的,但是宣称…则是愚蠢的。
点睛:本句型是比较两种观点的句型,通常用在议论文的中间部分,用于引出其他详细的分析。
take the view that.…意为“拥有…观点”。

他的观点是人应时自己的行为负责。
claim意为“要求,主张;声称,断言”。

本句型在替换时可以将take the view that…替换为take a view of...,二者主要根据内容以及表达的需要而选择。此外,claim可以替换为say、state等表达意见的词或短语。
