murrayjames Posted November 7, 2011 at 01:17 PM Report Posted November 7, 2011 at 01:17 PM What does "长期来看必将" mean? Is it a fixed phrase? Two examples I found on the internets: 《New Super Mario Bros. Wii》从长期看必将凌驾于其竞争者之上 人民币对澳元的汇率长期来看必将上升！[/quote] Quote

murrayjames Posted November 7, 2011 at 02:19 PM Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 at 02:19 PM Thank you, skylee. I'm still confused by 从 in the first sentence, though. 《New Super Mario Bros. Wii》从长期看必将凌驾于其竞争者之上 For a long time it's been certain that "New Super Mario Bros Wii" would best its competitors? Quote
Nakura Posted November 7, 2011 at 03:10 PM Report Posted November 7, 2011 at 03:10 PM 从 does not equal to "for" The second sentence could also be:人民币对澳元的汇率从长期看必将上升。or, 从长期看（长期来看），人民币对澳元的汇率必将上升。 Quote
creamyhorror Posted November 7, 2011 at 05:44 PM Report Posted November 7, 2011 at 05:44 PM The structure is similar to 从X角度来看, 在我看, 就X而言, etc: 从长期(的角度来)看 = in the long view / from a long-term point of view 必 = definitely, must [occur] 将 = soon, eventually 《New Super Mario Bros. Wii》从长期看必将凌驾于其竞争者之上 = 《New Super Mario Bros. Wii》, in the long view, will definitely emerge ahead of its competition Quote
