这两句话怎么样理解?第一个句子中a fact of 的意思是?
第2个句子,implicit在这里干什么成分,怎么样理解?
1. Death should be accepted as a fact of life.
句意:死亡应该被看作是一种没办法逃避的现实。
a fact of life 的意思是“生活的现实”“没办法逃避的现实”“日常的平时事”等。如:

2. There is no career counseling implicit in all of this.
句意:所有这所有并不包含职业咨询。
句中的 implicit in all of this 为形容词短语,用作后置定语,修饰名词career counseling(职业咨询);相当省略的定语从句:There is no career counseling implicit in all of this.
implicit 的意思是“隐含其中的;不明言的”。如:
