New expression

Today, I learned a new expression: the likes of which.
Usually, "the likes of which" is used with a sentence in past perfect form. For example, it was a grinding battle the likes of which Ukraine had never seen. I picked up this expression from an article at the New York Times.


Thank you for reading!

そして、記事の作家を表すときに、"by"を使います。例えば:
1) The article was written [by] ○○, who is an author [at] New York Times
2) I don't trust most articles [by] Fox News until I am able to confirm the facts with other less biased sources.

今回たまたまNew York Timesを読んだだけで、いつもはCNN,PBS,ABCなどテレビ系のサイトが多いです。Akihikoさんは、日本語のニュースサイトを見たりしますか?
