网友问:1.They are as red and hard as they can be (描写Mary's的双手)--- 我分析这是含比较状语从句的句子,但不明白这个带as they can be句子的中文意思和语法怎么分析?

解答:根据网友的疑问,我猜网友也许没有搞清as后的they 指代什么,这是一个难点,很容易误以为和主语they一致。这个they其实指red and hard.这应该是英语中的一个惯用句型: as + adj/adv + as adj/adv can be. 后面的as引导的比较状语,你一般把它当作一种特殊的固定用法即可。我记得过去上大学的时候,在钱歌川编的《翻译的技巧》一书中曾看到过种句型。该书有这样一个例句,我至今记忆犹新:You are as wrong as wrong can be. 该书翻译为:你大错特错。 因此,这种句式,表示程度,可以翻译为:非常。。。我给你两个外刊例句你比较体会一下:

网友问:2.How they would look if she tried to play on a piano! ----- 句末有感叹号,我分析是一个感叹句,不知对不对?这个句子是虚拟语气吗?怎样解读这个句子。

解答:这个句子应该是带有虚拟语气的感叹句。其实可以这样判断:此句为直接引语,根据前一句,这里本应用现在时态。但条件句却用了过去时,主句又是would,所以应该是虚拟语气。另外,句子以how 开始,又以感叹号结尾,这应该是感叹句的标志。另外,根据语境也可以得到印证。

史密斯小姐!玛丽杰苏普 有多么粗糙的(粗糙的)手啊!黛西·马文和老师从学校走回家的路上说。 在我看来,黛西,玛丽的手是我们班上最漂亮的。” “为什么吗?史密斯小姐,他们又红又硬。如果她想弹钢琴,他们看上去将会会是什么样子啊!”“黛西说。 史密斯小姐握住黛西的手,说:你的手非常柔软洁白,在钢琴看起来很漂亮,但它们没有像玛丽的手那样的美。会告诉你有什么区别吗?” “是的,请问,史密斯小姐。黛西睁大了眼睛,看着史密斯小姐。 嗯,黛西,玛丽的手很忙。他们洗碗;他们生火;他们挂衣服,也帮助洗衣服:他们总是试图帮助她贫穷、努力工作的母亲。史密斯小姐接着说:此外,他们给孩子们洗洗衣服;帮助他们修理玩具,穿洋娃娃;然而,他们还是找时间给他们隔壁房子里生病的小女孩的洗头洗澡。” “他们对每一件生物都做了好事(行为)。我看到他们在街上拍着疲惫的马和无家可归的狗。他们总是准备好帮助那些需要帮助的人。” “我再也不会认为玛丽的手很丑了,史密斯小姐。黛西含着泪水说。 我很高兴听到你这么说,黛西;我必须告诉你,它们很漂亮,因为它们很高兴地帮助别人。” “哦,史密斯小姐!我为自己感到羞愧,感到难过。黛西说,用闪亮的眼睛看着老师的脸。 我亲爱的,美丽不在于一个人的外表,而在于他到底做了什么。
