▲你的句子可作如下改写:On her birthday, there was held a splendid party.=On her birthday, a splendid party was held. 她生日那天举行了盛大的晚会。▲你的句子属于there be句式与被动语态的“混搭”,其句意与普通的被动语态意思相同。又如: 1. There was born a child. = A child was born. 有个孩子出生了...

同意“语法探讨”老师的分析。补充一种可能合乎逻辑的情形,那就是“电话留言”。比如:M: Hello, this is Jim Green. I am not in at the moment. Please leave your message on the answering machine, thank you.W: Hi, Jim, this is Alice here. How about having lunch sometime this Sunday? Call me back, thanks.

▲书上说得对,Iron is easy to rust 这个句子不符合英语习惯。因为当形容词 easy 以 sth 或 sb 作主语(不用形式主语)时,其后所接不定式的逻辑主语习惯上不能是句子主语,而应是其宾语。如:(1) This cake is easy to make. 这蛋糕很容易做。(句子主语 this cake 是不定式 to make 的逻辑宾语)(2) A lorry in good cond...

by tradition 中的 by 意思是“根据”,所以 by tradition 的意思是“根据传统”“按照传统”。如:By tradition, the oldest son inherited everything. 按照传统,长子继承一切。By tradition, it's the bride's parents who pay for the wedding. 根据传统习俗,由新娘的父母承担婚礼的费用。网友句子的意思是:In the...

one other 与 another 意思相同,均表示“另外一个……”,但用 one other 时数量意味更强,强调“另外一个”而不是“另外两个或三个等”,但用 another 则没有这种强调意味。比较:Every member must bring one other person. 每一个会员必须带一个人来。(强调不能带两个或多个人来)Every member must bring another person. 每...

except 后接动词到底用什么形式,有两条原则:原则一:与其前是否有动词do有关——若其前有do,不定式不带 to;其前没有 do,不定式通常带 to。如你的句子:It had no effect except to make him angry. 除惹他生气外,没产生任何效果。I could do nothing except agree. 我除了同意,没有别的办法。原则二:与其前相关的词的...

本题答案是 D。一是因为 what 与 say 之间为被动关系,故要选被动语态,据此可排除A、B、C。这里之所以用过去进行时的被动语态,是因为要表示当时正在被说的话。句子大意为:我没有完全听明白演讲,但听懂了大意。补充例句:Are you attending to what is being said? 你有没有注意听别人说话?We had to strain to hear wh...

▲当 mean 表示“表示…的意思”“作…解释”“意指”“意味着”“是…迹象”等义时,通常不用于进行时态。如:The red light means “Stop”. 红灯表示“停车”。These words mean nothing. 这些话毫无意义。She said Tuesday, but she meant Thursday. 她说的是星期二,可是她的意思是星期四。The dark clouds mean rain. 乌云是下雨的迹象...
