请问曹老师:
A beautiful girl about my age, she bought the ticket for me when hearing that I had lost my wallet.
A fellow Georgian, Jordan was well known as a friend of the President.
1. 以上两句句首逗号前的部分均可以看作主语的同位语吗?这种前置表示强调?
The conjunction “that” has no semantic meaning but only a functional meaning, i.e. it constitutes the grammatical means of joining two clauses.
2. i.e.后面为什么没有逗号?该句子来自章教授的语法书。
(Being)A beautiful girl about my age, she bought the ticket for me when hearing that I had lost my wallet.
(Being)A fellow Georgian, Jordan was well known as a friend of the President.
这个二个句首的名词词组都不能分析为同位语,因为同位语都是在先行词之后的。关于这种名词词组究竟是什么成分,不同语法书有不同分析。我认为最简单且合理的解释应该是:这是现在分词短语作状语省略了Being。由于已经看不到现在分词了,于是就分析为名词词组作状语。你可以试试加上being,意思完全一样。自己理解了即可,不必纠结到底是什么成分。语法家对此都没有统一的认识,作为英语学习者就更没有必要去为此烦恼了。
i.e.是拉丁语 id est 的缩写,相当于英语的namely,也就是、即。后面用或者不用逗号均可。很多词典的例句中就没有逗号的。
