忘记了这个词组的意思, 今天早上无意中听到CTV news channel用了这个词组,google了一下, 发现是"客观看待某事/物"的意思, 以下解释容易明白To put something in perspective is to take an objective look at something. For example, if you are unhappy with your job, then observe the terrible working conditions others must endure in another occupation, it helps you put your own situation in perspective. Your objective observation of your job in comparison to theirs makes you appreciate your situation
