Many grammarians have maintained that the expressionconsensus of opinion is redundant, inasmuch asconsensus itself denotes a judgment about which there is general agreement. Consensus of opinion has often been used by reputable writers, however, and has sometimes been defended on the grounds that a consensus may involve attitudes other than opinions;thus, one may speak of aconsensus of beliefs, or a consensus of usage. Nonetheless, the qualifying phrase can usually be omitted with no loss of clarity.The sentenceIt was the consensus of opinion among the sportswriters that the game should not have been played says nothing that is not said by
許多語法學(xué)家都認(rèn)為短語consensus of opinion 這個說法是羅唆的， 因為consensus 本身就表示一種得到大多數(shù)同意的意見。 然而consensus of opinion 仍常常被知名作家所使用， 并且有時人們會辯解說它除了意見上的一致外可能還包括態(tài)度上的一致；因此，我們可以說consensus of beliefs（信仰一致） 或 consensus of usage（用法一致）。 盡管這樣，限定性短語通?？梢员皇÷远粫贡磉_(dá)不清楚。如體育新聞記者們的一致意見是這場比賽本不應(yīng)該進(jìn)行的 這個句子并不比
