Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the
continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon
made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my
favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it.
Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆), I fell onto the stones,
damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man.
Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their
boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
上面一段摘自2021年高考的全国甲卷(全国2卷)的阅读理解C。请问最后一句中的独立动名词 landing tricks, being a good skater 是什么用法?作什么成分?
1 不要自己随便创造语法术语。英语语法中没有独立动名词这样的术语。你想知道一个动名词作什么成分,就直接问某动名词做什么成分,不要用“独立”这个词眼,因为它并没有独立。
2 你要知道what可以引导三种名词性从句:名词性疑问分句、名词性感叹分句、名词性关系分句。当what引导名词性关系分句时,what为融合型关系代词,what= the thing(s) which. what从句本质上是一个名词词组,即被限制性定语从句修饰的一个名词词组。
3 所以,that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. = that’s the thing that mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. 定语从句that mattered修饰先行词the thing. 动名词landing tricks, being a good skater 为the thing的非限制性同位语,破折号可以改为逗号。如果你了解了名词性关系分句本质上是一个名词词组,你也可以直接理解动名词短语为what的同位语。
