The [mistletoe] plant is often taken for a parasite which, in the true sense of the word, it is not, for it extracts no organic substances from its host, but draws only water and nutritive salts from the branches into which it sends its suckers. (Thomas Fisher, The Plant, vol. 2, 1989) |
گیاه داروش غالباً یک انگل تصور می‌شود، درحالی‌که به معنای واقعی کلمه انگل نیست، زیرا هیچگونه مواد آلی از میزبان خود نمی‌گیرد، بلکه فقط آب و املاح مغذی را از شاخه‌هایی که مکنده‌های خود را در آنها فروبرده است، استخراج می‌کند. (توماس فیشر، گیاه، ج. ۲، ۱۹۸۹) |
مثال دیگر:
|
He is often taken for a student because he looks so young. |
غالباً او را یک دانشجو تصور می‌کنند، چون خیلی جوان به نظر می‌رسد. |
