向尊敬的曹老师请教几个长难句
1、He was directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would interfere.
问题1:请教曹老师,observing that 后面的从句该如何分析呢? 是定语从句修饰that吗?
2、But this time it was me running after them with my hand on the seat.
问题2:请教曹老师,这里的running after是真正的主语吗?我感觉也不像真正的主语
3、He came home, his face pale.
问题3:这是独立主格做伴随状语省略了being吗?
4、You can leave three hours after you take the medicine.
问题4:three hours该如何分析呢?是修饰谓语动词leave的吗?
1 observing在此为现在分词后接that从句作宾语,observeing的意思是注意到、意识到。现在分词短语作原因状语。
2 这是强调句型的一种变体,即that从句被现在分词短语代替。剑桥语法的例句为:Is it Kim making all that noise? 该书认为这个句式等同于含有be的that从句,即上句等于Is it Kim that is making all that noise? 你的句子也就等于But this time it was me that is running after them with my hand on the seat.
3 是的。
4 three hours修饰after。你吃药三个小时后才能离开。
