fine print
细节
讲解:
fine print的字面意思是「印得很小的字」。合约上通常会把比较细节的条文用比较小的字印刷,所以fine print是指这些「细节内容」。例如在保险合约中,许多「不理赔」的特殊情况都用小字体印刷,所以,签约之前要Read the fine print.(研读细目)。
例句:
So far Clinton has avoided investing American revenue and lives in Bosnia,while maintaining that he personally would like to do more to help its government resist aggression. The Administration says it still must see the fine print of the accord before it actually mobilizestroops.(出自:TIME, Oct. 4,1993,p. 40)
