1. The oil produced in Dagang is of first-rate quality.
2. I enjoyed every minute of it.
请问这里为何要用 of 呀?这里又不是 of + 名词所有格?
我不明白……烦请老师帮忙解答。
谢谢。
1. The oil produced in Dagang is of first-rate quality.
2. I enjoyed every minute of it.
▲第1句,of 表示“事物具有的特点或特性”,of 之后一般跟表示“事物性质和特征的不可数名词”,类似quality(质量), use(用途), importance(重要性), significance(意义), beauty(美丽)等。
该短语主要有3种用法:(1)在名词后作定语;(2)在be 后作表语;(3)在宾语后作宾语补足语。
(1)在名词后作定语:
It pays in the long run to buy goods of high quality. 长远看还是买高质量的物品值得。
I have a matter of importance to deal with. 我有要事要处理。
【注】此结构可用同源形容词替代,放在名词之前。如:
I have an important matter to deal with. 我有要事要处理。
(2)在be 后作表语:
Why are you so sure that they are of high quality? 你为什么这么肯定它们质量好呢?
The dictionary is of great use for the students. 这本字典对学生们很有用。
【注】在此结构中,be of 可以理解为have。上述句子可用have取而代之:
Why are you so sure that they have high quality? 你为什么这么肯定它们质量好呢?
The dictionary has great use for the students. 这本字典对学生们很有用。
(3)在宾语后作宾语补足语。
I think you’ll find this tool of use to him. 我想你会发现这个工具对他很管用。
They all consider it of great importance to our work. 他们都认为这对我们的工作很重要。
【注】此结构可用同源形容词替代,放在宾语之后。如:
I think you’ll find this tool useful to him. 我想你会发现这个工具对他很管用。
They all consider it very important to our work. 他们都认为这对我们的工作很重要。
▲第2句表示“所属关系”, of 意为“......的,指一个事件过程中的每时每刻。例如:
I enjoyed every minute of the party. 整个晚会我玩得都很愉快。
He enjoyed every minute of the performance. 他自始至终欣赏这场演出。
She enjoyed every minute of this film. 这影片的每一分钟她都非常欣赏。
