老師好
回覆刪除I don't mind sitting here.的意思是不介意「去做」某事，而這件事還沒發生，不就應該用不定詞嗎？還望老師解惑，謝謝。
如果是I (don't) want to..., I (don't) plan to..., I (don't) expect to...，那麼情況就如你所說：想要（或不想要）做什麼，那麼事情還沒做，要做也是將來的事，帶有be going to的味道，要用不定詞。但是，don't mind意思是「不介意」，並沒有「將要做」或「不要做」的暗示，只是「不討厭、不反對」，受詞只是「一件事」，不帶有be going to的味道。

刪除上文應該提到一個enduring fashion icon，暫且名之為X。這句話可以這樣來看：Only Marilyn has proved a fashion icon as enduring as X「只有瑪麗蓮夢露作為偶像的持久力可以和X抗衡」。然後把句尾的as X省略（因為上文有提過X），再把as enduring移到a fashion icon前面去修飾它（形容詞片語不能放在名詞片語中間，但可以放在前面或後面）

矛形修辭：「令人震耳欲聾的沈默」，就是此時應該有聲卻是無聲，令人無法適應
5
這裏故意採用比較口語化的風格（不是很正式）

同樣原因：用to keep up比較正式。不過，用keeping有強調進行的作用，與句意是能搭配的

光是這句，看不出來是暗喻

刪除你說的對。不過，就像And SV...或But SV...一樣，Because SV...也是很多人使用。在口語中有許多不完整句。正式寫作最好避免使用
2
你寫的兩種意思其實是一樣的，所以你的觀念沒錯！

同上（意思是暫停叫停、等待調查）

可能。但若郵局在馬路右邊，這句仍能成立

回覆刪除The most widespread form of symbiosis is that between fungi and trees.

用one也行，但因為是最高級（the most...），指示性很強，所以用that比較好。可以還原來做比較：
刪除The most widespread form of symbiosis is the symbiosis between fungi and trees.
The most widespread form of symbiosis is a symbiosis between fungi and trees.
前者省略就成為that，後者則會成為one。你覺得哪個比較好？
