下面的材料是2004年全国卷III的短文改错题:
You can find all kinds information in just 76. ______
a few minute on the Internet. It’s like going to a 77. ______
huge library without have to walk around to find 78. ______
your books. Recently even though, many people 79. ______
have been discussing the dangers of the Internet. 80. ______
They have been reports in
trying to steal person information for bad purposes. 82. ______
Finding information on the Net is easily. But not all 83. ______
information are good to society. For example, you 84. ______
can find such information like how to kill people. 85. ______
The problem will become more serious in the future.
参考答案:
76. kinds→kinds of 77. minute→minutes
78. have→having 79. even through→though
80. √ 81. They→There
82. person→personal 83. easily→easy
84. are→is 85. like→as
我不太明白的是,下面这个句就算去掉 even 也不对吧?
Recently even though, many people have been discussing the dangers of the Internet.
though 可以单独使用,用作“连接副词”,表示对上文意思的“转折”,意为“但是;然而;尽管如此”。翻译中文时提到句首翻译,用法和意思,跟however 十分相似。
even though 是让步连词,等于even if (即使),后面必须跟从句。
为了理解方便,我们连同recently 一并去掉后:
Though, many people have been discussing the dangers of the Internet.
尽管如此,许多人一直在讨论互联网的危险。
又如:
When she was a sophomore, though, she took a course in biology.
然而,在她上大二的时候,她学了一门生物学课程。
▲英语中,副词这个词类可以细分,有些副词叫作“连接副词”。不同于从属连词,这类副词主要用来表示上下文之间某种关系,如:结果、条件、方式、转折和补充等。这些副词的位置相对比较灵活。常见的有:
however 不管怎样(表转折)
too 也 (表补充)
moreover 再者(表补充)
besides 况且(表补充)
otherwise 否则(表条件)
therefore 因此(表结果)
then 然后(表先后顺序)
though 但是,然而(表转折)
我们拿however 再举个例子。
though 跟however 的用法十分相似。however 是副词,但修饰整个句子,表示与前句在意义上的转折关系。however 的位置很灵活,及可放在句首,句末,还可放在句中(主语和谓语之间,同样加逗号停顿)。试比较:
However, teaching is by no means an easy thing.
然而,教书并不是一容易的事情。
Most of us, however, take life for granted.
但是,我们大多数人把生活认为是理所当然的。
Every drug has possible side effects, however.
然而,每一种药都可能有副作用。
