1. at 还是 on单就 date 来说,它既可搭配 at 也可搭配 on,两者的区别是:若 date 表示 day 的意思,则搭配 on(指具体的某个日期);若 date 表示 time 的意思,则搭配 at(笼统地指某个时间)。比较:Theatre tickets must be used on the stated date. 戏院门票必须在规定日期使用。The details can be added at a late...

这是 whatever 的一种比较特殊的用法——用于否定句表示强调,相当于 at all。The belief has no scientific basis whatever. 这种信念没有任何科学根据。又如:I have no money whatever. 我一点钱也没有。He received no hurt whatever. 他没有受到任何伤害。She has no sense whatever. 她没有一点头脑。I know nothing of...

a lot of 完全可用于否定句:When there is not a lot of rain, riverbeds often have no flowing water.句意:雨水不多时,河床经常没有流水。根据所修饰名词是否可数,not a lot of 大致相当于 not many 或 not much:Not a lot of people [=Not many people] know that. 没几个人知道那件事。There isn’t a lot of [=not...

I was sitting there minding my own business when in walked an old lady. 严格说来,这里的 when 不是从属连词(不是引导状语从句),而是并列连词(相当于 and suddenly)。When 后面的 in walked an old lady 是倒装句(不倒装的形式为 an old lady walked in)。全句意为:我正坐在那儿忙我自己的事,这时(突然)进...

这里的 shape 是动词,意思是“使成为…形状(或样子)”。Flutes are shaped like long tubes.句意为:笛子的形状像长管子。又如:The plate is shaped like a fish. 那盘子形状像条鱼。The metal piece is shaped like a new moon. 这个金属片制成新月状。The crackers were shaped like little goldfish. 饼干的形状就像一条...

同意好题老师的分析,将 We hardly know him a thing 改写成 We hardly know a thing (=anything) about him 是最通常的做法。但如果要细究,我们也可以就 a thing 的用法作一下总结。a thing 的字面意思是“一个东西”。如:It’s a thing, not a human being! 这是一件东西,不是一个人!但 a thing 也可用作习语,通常见于...

下面几个句子都对:After the task had been completed, he finally had a holiday.=The task having been completed, he finally had a holiday.(正常表达)=The task being completed, he finally had a holiday.(上一句的简化)=The task completed, he finally had a holiday.(上一句省略being)

完全可以。因为 since 除可以用作连词还可以用作介词。He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since he was brought there.——用作连词=He has been feeling a dull pain in his chest since being brought there.——用作介词自从他被带到那里以来,他一直感到胸口隐隐作痛。又如下面一句(摘自《夸克英语语法》):T...

Wind power uses the wind ______ energy.完全同意网友的分析。(1) 填 as:强调 wind 在 wind power 中的角色,风推动风力发电设备运转发电——wind 是 wind power 的动力。(2) 填 for:强调 wind power 使用 wind 的目的,是为了获取energy 能源——energy 是 wind power 的目的。再体会:Insulin a substance that your body...

同意胡老师的观点,感叹句(严格说来,参见曹老师的说法,叫感叹短语或省略的感叹句)是可以作主语的(如网友的句子),胡老师认为这种用法“比较少见”,但R. Quirk 认为“最为罕见”,比如下面的句子摘自其 CGEL 翻译翻译版的1154页:What an enormous crowd came! 更多相关说明参见该书的以下内容:
