有个小问题,英语答疑网上看到一个句子:
So over time, we took hundreds of thousands of people out of the pool of those who might want a gas station attendant job and pushed them up, toward the professional job market, adding a lot of value to society and their wallets.
toward the professional job market前后都有逗号,但这个短语好像不是做诠释之类的,为何toward前为何要加逗号,是做并列?toward那个逗号是否可以去掉,谢谢老师。
逗号,在语言中的作用,有时候重要,有时候并不重要。它在很多情况下表示停顿:一个“意群”的停顿,体现语言表达的“抑扬顿挫”。例如:
pushed them up, toward the professional job market, adding a lot of value to society and their wallets. ——这里面就有3个“意群”,两次停顿:
1. push sb. up:把某人推上。(谓语)
2. toward the professional job market:朝着专业人才就业市场。(这个词组用来表示pushed them up的方向)
3. adding a lot of value to society and their wallets:有益于社会,有利于个人收入。(现在分词表示结果。)
最后说一下,那个逗号可以省略。有逗号也不能并列,缺少连词and。
