【a, b 哪一句正確？】on one hand, on the other hand…
.
（a）On one hand Jenny is a talented singer, and on the other hand she is a great artist.
.
（b）On one hand I'd like a job that pays more, but on the other hand I enjoy the work I'm doing at the moment.
.
答案：（b）正確
.
很多字典解釋 on one hand, on the other hand 為「一方面... 另一方面」使大家誤以為 on the other hand 可以作「另外」來解釋。
.
其實，on one hand, on the other hand 只能用來描述兩個「對立的觀點」。
.
這有對立：On one hand I'd like a job that pays more, but on the other hand I enjoy the work I'm doing at the moment.「我想換一份薪水較高的工作，但又喜歡目前的工作。」
.
這沒有對立：On one hand Jenny is a talented singer, and on the other hand she is a great artist.「Jenny 是個有天賦的歌手，也是很厲害的藝術家」
.
總結：有對立，兩邊都有道理的時候才用 on one hand, on the other hand。
.
On one hand, I really don't want to work, but on the other hand if I don't work I can't buy food.
