每日一词学英语(131): arguably

最近一段时间英国的媒体关于The Beatles的报导渐渐多起来了,The Times有Beatles专栏,BBC也放了不少专题片(比如昨晚在BBC2),大概是为了纪念这个乐队解散40周年?

John Lennon did many brilliant things in his life, but arguably one of his most inspired acts was his deliberate destruction of the Beatles in 1969 — just 40 years ago this month. (From The Sunday Times, September 6, 2009: Exclusive: John Lennon, the lost interviews) 列侬一生有许多辉煌,按理说,1969年9月解散Beatles是其中一个神来之笔。

arguably: (adv.) used, often before a comparative or superlative adjective, when you are stating an opinion which you believe you could give reasons to support. (常用于形容词比较级或最高级前)可论证地,按理。
*He is arguably the best actor of his generation.
