各位好，想請教一下
外國網友Raymott回應我的問題 https://goo.gl/Ai5B2H
但有些我看不太懂：
I was intending to give you the idea that by 'not' writing,
→什麼是'by "not" writing'？
"If someone talks about an idea, should we say (a) or (b)?" you are answering
your own question.
→為何他會說「你正在回答你的自己問題」？
In the context, you are asking whether "mention" is a verb similar to "like,
wish, etc". No, it isn't. If you are commenting on what someone is doing now,
you would say, "He is mentioning it now."
→他的意思是說，照我後來補充的情境來看，mention在那個情境中並不是靜態動詞，所
以可以進行式來表達？
But you haven't given a proper context, so others have replied, just as
validly perhaps, that you could say "He mentions it now". 'Mention' is not a
stative verb.
→他的意思是說，如果沒有給出適當的情境，"He mentions it now"也有可能是正確的？
但他後面又補充一句'Mention' is not a stative verb. 是想表達什麼？
請教一下，謝謝！
