Rose is taller than I.针对I来提问就是:a. Who is Rose taller than?Rose is taller than me. 针对me来提问就是:b. Than whom is Rose taller than?说白了就是把than理解成连词和介词后造成的问题。从使用频率看Who is Rose taller than?尽管也很少见,但是要占绝对优势,没找到Than whom is Rose taller than?这样的例...

have作为“吃”这个意义,属于第三类动词accomplishments,即Quirk说的“终结可持续动词”,而作为“拥有”的意义时,则是属于第一类动词states,即状态动词。终结可持续动词有开始和结束,可以用进行时态,着重过程而隐没了终点。然而,终结可持续动词的过去时通常呈现“完成貌”,即只剩下终点(I had breakfast.吃过早餐了)。除...

想了想,可能另一种理解靠谱一点。实质上是问your first taste of late nights (删除地点状语结构in the dorm or in the Junior Common Room便于分析)discussing the meaning of life是个什么结构 ?我觉得这个结构类似于your first time driving a car。即动名词复合结构your discussing the meaning of life中插入了fir...

这是Garner's Modern English Usage一书中的一句。原句是:My thought was that assigning these rankings to various usages is much more helpful than what one finds in existing usage guides.这里用what是正常的。但是有例外(句7):1. It is a far more spacious and genteel environment than one finds on a comm...

This result is better than ___ would probably be achieved by a vaccination policy.这一句的主语省略了,本不该省略。只能说这样的例子很特别,也很少见。一般大家都能看出省略了the result,但是正如王老师所说,你要把它补上去是不合适的,因为重复是很忌讳的,除非不得已。所以可以写成:This result is better than...

没想到大家对这个问题有兴趣,买椟还珠!从历史的角度就能理解这个问题。其实两种说法都对,大家可以搜索一下这本剑桥语法,两种写法都有。用upwards percolation就是副词修饰名词(某些地点副词修饰名词置于名词前),当然,副词后置于名词的要多见一些(five dollars (and) upwards)。我个人认为极大可能是早期英语的残...

好问题忍不住说一下。第一个问题“好题”已经说了,这种将来完成时用by的句子本身有一定的模糊性(注意不是歧义的问题),by可以理解为未来的某个时间点,也可理解为未来的某个时间点之前。因此不用by改用某个确定的未来时间点也是可以的:At the end of the summer,the Blakes will have been married for 10 years.By the...

这题有意思!没有上下文会有多种理解。我也注意到国外论坛有讨论这个问题,有一个理解值得我们思考: I think Russell could have written "evils" if he were meaning the specific evils he'd listed in the previous sentence (famine, torture, helplessness, loneliness, poverty, pain) but he didn't want to imply...

其实把框架搭清楚就很好理解这个问题的实质是什么。1.With a lot of problems to settle, the president is having a hard time.这里的with结构是否是带介词+不定式的独立主格结构?可以这么说:带介词with的不定式结构通常都不会理解成独立主格结构,网友为什么会理解成独立主格结构我觉得可能是某种臆想的产物。值得注意...
