【摩登家庭】“事后诸葛亮。”

【句子】Many of our applicants are attorneys. What sets you apart? 【Modern Family-S2E5】
【发音】['meni] [əv] ['aʊə(r)] ['æplɪkənts] [ɑ:(r)] [ə'tɜ:(r)niz] [wɒt]/[wɑ:t] [sets] [ju:] [ə'pɑ:(r)t]
【发音技巧】what sets不完全失去爆破；
【翻译】在我们的申请人中，有很多都是做律师的，你有何特别之处呢？
【适用场合】
set sb./sth. apart
如何理解呢？
一般来说要么理解成，使某个人/物不同；使杰出；要么就是把某物单独留出来，做特殊的用处。

1. set sb./sth. apart (from sb./sth.)
使引人注目；和其他人完全不同；
to make sb./sth. different from or better than others

eg: Her clear and elegant writing sets her apart from other journalists.
她干净利落，优雅不凡的文笔让她从记者队伍中脱颖而出。

eg: What sets it apart from hundreds of similar small French towns is the huge factory.
这个小镇和其他成百上千相似法国小镇的不同之处在于：这个镇上有个巨大的工厂。

eg: Her natural athleticism set her apart from other tennis players.
她的运动天赋使得她比其他网球运动员表现都更优异。

2. set sth. < - > apart (for sth.)
to keep sth. for a special use or purpose
把某物单独留出来，做特殊的用处；常用被动；

eg: Two rooms were set apart for use as libraries.
我们留了两间房出来，当做图书馆来用。

刚才视频对话当中出现的对话：
-But we had a deal.
-Which, in hindsight, was utter nonsense.

--但是我们之前说好了的啊！
--那个约定，事后来看，没什么意义。/那个约定，事后来看，太可笑了。

什么叫做 hindsight
指的是：后知之明，事后聪明，事后的认识；
经常跟in来搭配使用
让我有点想到汉语中说的有些人，马后炮，事后才聪明，叫做事后诸葛亮。

eg: In hindsight, it would have been better to wait.
事后来看，早知道当时就等等看了。

也可以说：
with the benefit/wisdom of hindsight
eg: With the benefit of hindsight, I should have taken the job.
事后想来，我当时应该接受那份工作的。

eg: David realized, in hindsight, that he should have finished school.
David现在意识到了，当初他应该完成学业的。
