这个问题其实是很好的问题。Ethan999的 回答是没问题的。我只是想多说一个当代的语法书上很少提及的术语“接续性从句”,这个说法在旧一点的语法书上都有。当代绝大多数语法书都会说非限制性定语从句,那which到底指代什么,可以指代什么?你的困惑就在于此!其实,我们如果按照接续性从句来理解,就好理解多了:1.Nowadays,...

这句是徐广联“大学英语语法讲座与测试”上的一个例句,在第578页。我并不认同他的解释。大家总喜欢把as理解成引导时间状语从句,我觉得这里的as是表原因,可译为“既然”。这样的话,你的那些疑问都不存在,也就不需要回答了!主句的would相当于是would like to 表示意愿,情态动词用法,最好不要理解成过去将来时。从句的woul...

这是“Run in the Fam'ly”这本书上的,在第224页。你在引用的时候后面少了个主语he。Daddy picks his foot up and kicks out into the air."I break that glass and I'm in, boy," he says.“All that shit is gone, but I think I can still smell him like I did before, all those years back." He looks at me.“But you w...

还是你会玩。the bit where对话口语中常见。你这句原句出自“Grammar of Spoken and Written English”第623页:A few head nouns are moderately common with both where and when as relative adverb. In conversation, the head noun bit, referring to a part of a movie or story, commonly occurs with both relativize...

这句是Swan的著作上的。forecast有两种过去时和过去分词形式:forecast和forecasted,估计你出这题的意思就在于此。Sidney Greenbaum曾经写过这样一段话:The preferred past tense and participle is forecast rather than forecasted, though both forms exist: He forecast(ed) a wet summer, A wet summer has been for...

ing分词结构“asking for work”作状语还是作补语见仁见智!其实这种句型用法并不少见,前面可以加逗号,也可以不加逗号(你的这句没有逗号)。而且用to ask也是对的,不定式表目的,这就很明显了。举些例子看看:1.Wingate wrote to his father, asking for more money.(Longman Dictionary of Common Errors1996) 这一句有...

“马远兵”网友问出了一个很好的问题。“刘三木”网友提供的这个网页上的例子以前我也看过,我说说我的看法:1.My brother, who claimed to have a limp, sprinted after the bus. (This clause is not required to identify "My brother." It is just additional information.)这句蕴含的意思可能是“我”就只有一个兄弟。2.My br...

简单说一下:这是2020年3月21日的一期“The Economist”上的,写成这样应该看的明白:With people (being)wary of confined spaces—and country after country imposing travel bans—passenger numbers have nosedived, and with them airline revenues (nosedived).破折号里面的是为了补充前面的分句的,分析句子的时候...

既然你已经看过P1110的内容,想必也知道than后面的是个形式主语it的从句部分省略罢了,此时当然用单数形式,不多说。要写成appear也是可以的(appear这个词除了用形式主语it也可以用名词作主语),只是比较对象不要省略,即they,改成:The difficulties are even greater than they appear (to be) at first sight. 就可以...

章振邦著作“新编高级英语语法”第556页列举了ing分词作状语表让步有两种情况:带从属连词和不带从属连词。只是章振邦并没有提及这两种情况是否有区别?Curme在其著作“Syntax(A grammar of the English Language v3 )”第177页稍微提了这两者的区别:Sometimes the conjunction employed in the full subordinate clause is us...
