中古英语
from Old French circonstance
源自 古法语 circonstance
from Latin circumstantia
源自 拉丁语 circumstantia
from circumst3ns circumstant- [present participle of] circumst3re [to stand around]
源自 circumst3ns circumstant- [] circumst3re的现在分词 [站在周围]
circum- [circum-]
circum- [前缀,表.环绕.]
st3re [to stand] * see st3-
st3re [站立] *参见 st3-

Use of the idiomunder the circumstances is justified by both logic and reputable precedent,and objections to it must be accounted at best overfussy if not also,as H.W. Fowler put it, .puerile..
习语under the circumstances 的使用, 由逻辑和规范的先例两者来证明为正确,否则对于此点的反对至少会被看作过于咬文嚼字,正如福勒所评价的.幼稚.
