謝謝大家
There may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in $1 million
below the revised budget and $5 million below the original budget of $29 million
formulated in mid-1991. However, the final cost was the considerable sum of
$ 24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community
contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with
the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to
$10 million, contributing some $ 2 million. The Federal Government's grant of
$ 5 million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every
Australian taxpayer.
想請問黃色句子部分:
1. 付錢的是corporate and community contributions，
支付的項目是merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries
的意思嗎?
2. with the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to
$10 million, contributing some $ 2 million
a) 這句是NSW Gov.貢獻了$2 m，而他原本是願意花$10 m的意思嗎?
b) 為什麼some 和$ 2 million中間不用介系詞啊?
