<< review queue entry 70069 - submitted by 'gabor111' >> I don't think it is fully redundant and quite difficult to guess from the constituent parts (as in "originally already"), you decide. as can be seen from reverso and google, very often used in the negative: https://www.google.com/search?q="本就没有" https://context.reverso.net/翻译/中文-英语/本就 我儿子本就患有精神疾病 My son suffers from mental illness already. 当然 世上也许本就没有什么真相 Of course, there might be no so-called truths at all on earth. 战术小组更本就没机会抵抗 Tac unit wouldn't stand a chance. 也许我们本就不该是一家人 Maybe we weren't meant to be a family. ----------------------------------------- Editor: I think it can be considered a short form of 根本就. I have no issue with adding 本就, but 本就 is not so much about a point in time (the starting point) as it is about the inherent nature of something. 本就 implies that the situation does not change from what it was at the start, whereas with "originally" and "in the first place", the situation may change: - "Originally he was just a sales assistant, but he is now the CEO". - "I don't know why I fell in love with him in the first place." - - - - - - - - - - 人到異鄉，本就需要調適， Life in a foreign land requires major adjustment. 作為一個數學語言，類似代數、幾何等抽象性需要時間體會，對初次接觸這些數學觀的學生來說，深入理解本就需要時間。 The use of abstract mathematical language in algebra and geometry requires some mental adjustment, and students who are first encountering such mathematical concepts will need time to understand them. 台灣建築業對結構專業完全不尊重的作風，也可以從許多建築物的結構設計本就存在弱點可以看出來。 The Taiwanese construction industry's blatant disregard for professional expertise concerning structural requirements is also apparent from the inherent weaknesses in the structural design of many buildings. 台灣的安全係數有多高？有人認為，海島戰爭本就是制空與制海力量之爭， How secure is Taiwan? Some say that island war can be summed up as a struggle for sea and air supremacy. 譬如股票本就是一種需要長期投資才能看出效益的金融商品， For instance, shares are a financial product requiring long-term investment to yield profits. |
