都是好事

视力好也是好事，可是跟找一般工作走什么关系呢？

 

[Anewleafjane]

最好是能申请到比较合适的工作，因为打工很累，工余再继续找工作更困难。

如果确实需要先打工，也许可以考虑商场？我昨天看见 Westside Mall 的 Canadian Tire 商场外挂了一条横幅 hiring ， 具体的工种不清楚，也许是店员？

谢谢了。 如果口袋不见底我会继续找合适的工作的，万不得已怕是还得为了户口而打工的。

个人认为想怎么说英语没有一个规定的定式（除了要考试）。 我忙中出错，打掉了 “Be” 不行吗？ Don't be so serious 怎么就不能这样说呢。 你说个汉语一个意思都有好几种表达方式，难道非要都说得跟你一样地。 郁闷！

对不起，让你郁闷，不是本意，只是想善意提醒：本地人说话有他们特有的语言约定俗成，要慢慢适应，这样别人听我们意思直截了当，我们明白对方意图心领神会，我们是想帮助你，不想打击你的情绪。有需要帮忙可以私信我，尤其是这里的办公室文化，办公室政治，想问啥都行

Use your experimentally determined value of Ksp, and show by calculation, that Ag2CrO4 should precipitate when 5 mL of .004 M AgNO3 are added to 5 mL of .0024 M K2CrO4 [unquote]

Read the highlighted part of the context, and analyze by the metrics given, that the reader should construct the synopsis more directly when all the materials are relevantly sorted.

The above sentence were replicated in structure, in an attempt to manifest that the "determined" is equally functioning as "highlighted",

We know that "highlighted" coming from the verb "highlight" does not function as a verb, rather it is the past particle from a verb working in this place as an adjective attributive, depicting a kind of state, properties and feature, without emphasis on an action, a move or a behavior being conducted.

Consequently, under no circumstances that "determined" is a verb in past tense, on the contrary, it's an "-ed Particle" as an adjective, in the position of attributive of the whole sentence structure, defining and attributing the noun objects, and the imperative sentence in red starts from "Use", the verb as predicate, by which "value" is the object worked, and "determined is the attributive of the object.

Thanks.

谢谢你啦。 不好意思 我说话有些急躁。一切重新来过对新移民来说方方面面的落实确实有很多意想不到难处。

谢谢你啦。 不好意思 我说话有些急躁。一切重新来过对新移民来说方方面面的落实确实有很多意想不到难处。

这么过来的，同理心。慢慢来一切慢慢都会变好。不怕，有信心，就有可能。

Unfortunately, you are wrong on both counts. Let's look at both of your examples.

Experimentally determined value of xxx.
Here "determined" is used as a verb. We can verify that by doing a couple of simple tests. You can grade and compare adjectives, so all we have to do is add an adverb in front of the word in question. Let me give you a very simple example:
She is a pretty girl ---> She is a very pretty girl. This is a perfectly acceptable sentence, the only difference is the degree.
But when we add "very" in front of "determined", the sentence doesn't make sense:
Experimentally very determined value of xxx - this doesn't make sense. Besides, value doesn't have feeling, so how can it be determined (as in adjective resolute. unwavering). Strike one against adjective.
Another test we can do is by re-arranging the sentence:
The value was determined experimentally, or the value was determined by experiment. It is obvious then, here "determined" is a verb. Strike two against adjective.
There are other tests you can do but with two strikes already we don't need to go any further.

The highlighted part of the context (sic)...
Again, "highlighted" is used as a verb. Let's do the same tests:
The very highlighted part of the text... - This doesn't make sense. A text is either highlighted or not highlighted, you can't say that it is "very highlighted". Strike one against adjective.
In fact, you can try another adverb:
the mechanically/chemically/electronically highlighted text - this makes it clear that "highlighted" is a verb here.

Going back to your original sentence in question:
A determined group of people - a very determined group of people. Makes perfect sense, the only difference being the degree.

There are exceptions, but they are not similar to what we are discussing so I am not going to get into them.

We can go on and on, but when in doubt you can always check the dictionaries. Dictionaries such as Oxford and Cambridge usually list the words separately for noun, verb, adjective, etc.

If you look up "determined", you will see it in verb and adjective with sentence examples. And the dictionaries are very clear on the meaning of determined as an adjective - resolute/unwavering, which was clearly not the meaning you intended in your original sentence.

If you look up the word "highlighted", there is no mention of it being an adjective at all.

So, to recap:
1. "determined" as in "a group of determined people" is an adjective, and it means the group of people are resolute in whatever they action they are planning.

2. "determined" as in "experimentally determined value of xxx" is a verb, and it means the value of xxx was determined/decided by experiment.

3. "highlighted" as in "the highlighted part of the text" is a verb, and it means the text was highlighted by some means.

By the way, the paragraph in red is not structurally similar to the other one. Their structures start to diverge after the first coma.

语言只是让我们的短板不那么明显，还是要靠别的长板

他原意是想说'the' indicates a defined group of persons,

determined作为形容词没有表明限定范围的意思

 

[山中幸盛]

目测楼主是孔子学院的教师。。。

 

[laox888]

determined作为形容词没有表明限定范围的意思，但他不同意，所以找了些例句来，可惜这些例句都不是用的形容词。

多关注联邦政府的外交方面的职位吧。

你还是要学会法语才行啊

(｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ嗨 各位

我是来自中国大陆的新移民，怎么去找工作找房子啊？ 我是个国际关系博士毕业，英语很棒的。谢谢了。

建议你换个环境，比如去安省试试

这里的determined, 是defined的意思，

very highlighted, grammertically, is ok,
it doesn't make a lot senses, though,
however, most highlighted quotes could work,

在这里， highlighted 是动词被动化成形容词来用，我的理解。Therefore, I agree with you.

我跟申万的争议不在语法上，
这个词用在这儿， 很容易理解为倔强的一群， 而不是特定的一群，
