Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture,the trend that Mr.McWhorter's documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like, care.
红色部分的句子该如何分析呢?
1. to take the question of his subtitle:插入语。(就拿他的副标题这个问题而言)
2. 去掉插入成分后,看结构:
But it (形式主语)is less clear why we should, like, care.(主语从句是真正主语,被外置)
3. should, like, care 这三个动词并列处理。为什么我们应该、喜欢、在意。
