fundamental与foundation有何区别? You see... ...that's the problem with the game today: No fundamentals.(这句话是什么意思?) Did you ever read The Time of Your Life? - William Saroyan. - Yeah. "No foundation. All the way down the line."(这句话是什么意思?) fundamental与foundation在这里有何区别?是同义词吗? All the way down the line.中all the way是作副词吗?down the line又是什么结构?

俩个词的意思很接近。 No fundamentals.(这句话是什么意思?) 它、他们都缺乏基本/根本。。。技能/知识 All the way down the line."(这句话是什么意思?) 意思是“并不” / “一点也不” 等等. 着重上句子 例子来说, The fundamental rule of law Fundamental idea or principle Religious fundamentalists A foundation course leading to a degree The foundations of a house A good relationship is based on solid foundations

Fundamental is an adjective alone, but is a noun in plural form. Fundamental means the essence or basics of something that is intangible, such as a skill, language, concept, etc. Foundation, on the other hand, is a noun, and can be used to refer to the basis or support for something else whether it is tangible (the foundation of a building), or intangible (the foundation of democracy). It's only a subtle difference, but a native speaker would find it sounding awkward if you were to say something like the "fundamentals of a house".
