Those sound like reasonable paraphrases.

Hi MM,

May I take this way to think about the two sentences?

The connotation of those are :

[It is kind to the degree to mark you.]; [It is typical to the degree to typify you.]

Is "to mark you" and "to typify you" to give the range to the degree?

Mister Micawber · Answer

bepleased[It is kind to the degree to mark you.]; [It is typical to the degree to typify you.]

I see no indication of degree in the phrasing.

bepleasedIs "to mark you" and "to typify you" to give the range to the degree?

No, again, I see no indication of range or degree. Here, kind is digital, not analog, in meaning.

Hi,

could I say so?
This new model is / identifies at the cutting edge of computer technology.
= This new model identifies to the degree at the cutting edge of computer technology.
("at ...." provides the state to concern the degree)

[no more] [not any more]----of this way

[Nine times out of ten] the train is late. ----of this way
[How many times] did you try to phone her? ----of this way
Every times I go there I seem to get sick.
(every time not of this way, but dominator of “I go there I seem to get sick”)

1. [how]----in what way / by what means ----the "how" is dominator
2. [how]----in what condition of health or mind ---the "how" is dominator
3. [how]---- by what amount / to what degree ---the "how" is a result or the degree of course of action

It's not about how well you play, it's about how you feel about what you play.
[how well]----of this way; [how you feel]---not of this way

I forget how many there are. “How”of this way
It depends on how large a salary you earn. “how”of this way

Sorry, but you've lost me again.  Maybe someone else will get it.

Hi MM,

I try to return you back with a regular question.

(text)This new model is / exists at the cutting edge of computer technology.
("at ...." provides the state to concern the existence of this new model)

that sentence can be rephrased this way? --- This new model has / shows / exists quality of the cuuting edge of computer technology.
And what does the "has / shows" stand for?

Thank you for your help.

Mister Micawber · Answer

the state to concern the existence -- I cannot interpret this phrase.

This new model is / exists at the cutting edge of computer technology = This new model has / shows / exists qualities appropriate to the cutting edge of computer technology. -- How about that instead? Understand that the cutting edge is a place, a location.

And what does the "has / shows" stand for? -- demonstrates, exhibits, possesses

Hi MM,

What puzzles me is the words "have or show"(a quality).

In "She shows quality of leadership", because "quality" = something typical of her, let me have this idea that the "show" stands for the "appear"(= to become able to be seen / to come into sight or become noticeable).

In this sentence the "shows" doesn't seem to stand for demonstrates, exhibits, possesses;
what's more, we know sometimes the "with" can stand for showing a quality, for example:
"They fought with courage." here, the "with" = showing a quality of courage, and the [they fought] is not to deal with the "courage" but to be delt with in the "courage".

So if we say "They fought showing a quality of courage." , [they fought] is delt with in a quality of courage or is contained by a quality of courage.

Is the above reasoning sounded reasonable?

Thank you for your help.

Mister Micawber · Answer

bepleasedIn this sentence the "shows" doesn't seem to stand for demonstrates, exhibits, possesses;

Well, if you cannot take my suggestion, let's wait for another responder.

Bepleased · Answer

Hi MM,

Though learned and wise you, I still advise.

The following sentences will give you some examples of how clear the "show" doesn't stand for "demonstrates, exhibits, possesses".

1. Don't worry about that tiny stain; it won't show. (= it won't be seen / become able to be seen / come into sight)

2. His happiness showed in his smiles! ( = his smiles had his happiness come into sight / become able to be seen)

3. The lights showed fainly through the mist. (The mist had the lights seen faintly.)

So, "she shows quality of leadership." = Quality of leadership has her noticeable. We can mark her with quality of leadership.

Disrespectful, please forgive.

Thank you for your help.
