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.
请问 此段很明显意思是说一年前的废纸价格是一公吨一百美金。(这是过去事实)
但作者为何用would have been worth $100 a ton (与过去事实相反) 而不用
were worth $100 a ton (过去事实) ??
请问有人知道为何作者这样写呢?
有大大建议 补一个文法连接
那就这个吧: Practical English Usage (PEU)
