总结
如果说A与B之间有个fine line,那么就表示:虽然A与B很相像,但其实有很大区别,而且通常情况下,A比B要好。这里的fine line也可以说成thin line。不过,“A好B坏”这种分法也不是绝对的。比如下面这两个例子:
As a ?parent, I ?knew that there was a fine ?line between ?panic and ?caution.
作为一位家长,我知道吓唬孩子和提醒他们还是有区别的。
It's a fine line between being a backseat driver and a considerate passenger.
