你可以把 There is known to be…视为一种句型。这样用的There is known to be…句式可以看作是there be(有)与be known(被知道)的复合形式或混搭形式,其意为“据了解有……”“据说有……”“人们知道有……”“大家都知道有……”等。又如:There is known to be an engine fault. 据了解发动机有故障。There are known to be thousands...

even 是副词,不是连词,所以不能用它来引导让步从句:误:Even the worst happens, you shouldn’t give up hope.正:Even if the worst happens, you shouldn’t give up hope.即使发生最坏的情况,你也不应放弃希望。另外,也不要将它误用作介词。如:即便听了他的解释,我仍不明白。误:Even listening to his explanatio...

网友的句子通常的说法应该是:What would she think if she learned the truth? 她要是知道实情会怎么想呢?但也不能说网友的句子就一定是错的,因为在口语或非正式文体中有时也可见到这种用法(尤其是美国口语中,但正式文体或书面语中通常不这样用)。如:It would cause a great deal of harm if this would happen. 如果...

误:He had so obstinate characters that no one liked him.正:He had so obstinate a character that no one liked him.意:他的性格非常固执,没有人喜欢他。根据英语语法,当 as, how, so, too 修饰“形容词+名词”时,其中的“名词”应是单数可数名词(即名词前应有不定冠词),不能是复数名词。即:误:as / how / so /...

She is a lady than whom I can imagine no one more courteous.than whom是一个约定成俗的说法,而且相当正式,用以引导定语从句。从句形式上用的是比较级,但因这类定语从句通常是否定的,所以句中的“否定词+比较级”实际上隐含的是最高级含义。即句中的 than whom I can imagine no one more courteous 是定语从句,修饰...

你的怀疑是有道理的。因为,如果是不定式的复合结构,那不定式前面的名词就应该是不定式的逻辑主语,但这里显然不是。这里的不定式应该是目的状语。本句的不定式其实也可以移到句首:To save his friend, he was willing to risk death. 或改成 In order to:In order to save his friend, he was willing to risk death.

简单地说,名词性关系分句指语法上起名词作用(比如可用作主语或表语)但语义上隐含一个关系分句(即相当于带有关系分句作后置修饰语的名词短语),它可以由whatever, wherever, whoever, whichever, what, where, when, why, how 等wh-词引导。如:You can do whatever you like.You can wear whichever dress suits you b...

More nurses is the next item on the agenda.这里的谓语动词用单数可以有两种理解:1. 将原句理解为倒装句:More nurses is the next item on the agenda.=The next item on the agenda is more nurses.2. 将原句理解为在句首省略了the question of 或 the issue of:More nurses is the next item on the agenda.=The que...
