  1. He did all he could to win his favor.句中語氣助動詞後應該接原型動詞,為什麽接的是不定式?根據句意語氣助動詞後應該是省略了主句中的do,這是為什麽(為什麽可以省略,是什麽文法規則)?謝謝!

    1. 有省略,還原為:He did all that he could do (in order) to win his favor.,其中that he could do是關係子句,修飾先行詞all。先把當受詞的關係代名詞that省略,再把重複的動詞do省略,只剩下he could。後面的to win是in order to win的省略。

      刪除
    2. 謝謝旋老師!關系子句 that he could do 雖然有與主要子句相同的動詞,但是在關系子句中少了一個動詞,只保留一個語氣助動詞,He did all that he could _____ his favor.這樣看,could 後面應該直接填寫一個動詞。我想問的是,當出現這種句型時,只要關系子句中的動詞與主要子句的動詞相同,就可以省略嗎?

    3. 1)You should aim as high as you can.
      第1個 as 作副詞修飾 high,第2個 as 則修飾第1個as,並且作比較子句的連接詞,因與主要子句的動詞相同,故可省略

      2)He did all that he could to win his favor.
      that he could 是關系子句,修飾 all,也可將 all that 用復合關系代名詞 what 替代 what he could 作名詞子句,因與主要子句的動詞相同,故可省略

      因此,我認為這兩種形式的省略方式是一樣的,不知道對不對,請老師指教,謝謝!

  3. 老師您好
    Someone had perfumed the boy's body, but she believed his sweet smell was, she later said,"a sign of his son's acceptance by Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon on him, who applies the scent of paradise."
    1 peace be upon on him可以還原嗎 ? be跟his sweet smell was的was都是動詞,兩個動詞之間沒有連接詞,不知如何解釋 ?

    For nations responsible for the Holocaust to ignore the horrors of suicide attacks on Israeli targets, to shut their ears to the hate for Jews that spews from the Arab media, is unforgivable.
    2 這個句子的主詞is 為何是單數?
    3 For=because ?

    Buyers use different ruses to wring free credit out of their suppliers...
    4 free credit是指:分期付款繳費的話,free credit表示不用付利息?
    謝謝老師

    1. 1
      peace be upon him是個插入句,祈使語氣,相當於let peace be upon him,這是句常用的祈禱詞,再提到先知的時候往往會插入這一句祈禱詞(為先知祈福)
      2, 3
      For someone to do something是名詞子句That someone should do something的簡化,不定詞to V的主詞用介系詞片語for someone來交代。原句的For someone to do this and to do that,若視為兩件事情,可以用are。若視為一件事,也可以用is。

      應該是

    We are nothing more threatening than journalists
    1字面上的意思:我們沒有比記者更令人感到威脅=我們跟記者一樣令人感到威脅

    What Ichiro and Nakata have done is remind the country that Japan may be down, but it can stand tall once more
    2 is remind的is是不是要刪掉?

    Their full catalogue costs $5, redeemable against a first order.
    3如果訂單是30元,則25元(30-5=25)是本次要付給廠商的錢 ?

    It soon became a biblical tract for the young, no less pervasive and influential a work as was Jack Kerouac's on the Road
    4有個固定用法no less ... than ,原句的as為何不改成than ?
    謝謝老師

    1. 1
      我們跟記者一樣,都不是具有威脅性的人
      2
      在SVC句型中,主詞部分如果有do,那麼補語部分可以用原型動詞。本句的主詞有have done,所以在補語部分可以直接用原型動詞remind...當補語(當然也可以用to remind...)
      3
      應該是
      4
      用no less...than是比較符合文法要求的搭配

  5. 老師好:

    以下是電影關鍵少數當中三位主角之一Mary在戶外派對與其先生的對話 (附上英文及中文),對” Less you want this female’s mind right here”本以為是不是要說unless而說成less,但再三查證腳本及影片,確定是使用less。對此結構我有兩種解析,請老師指正哪一個正確或是都不正確。
    1. (省略The) less (省略thing) (省略that) you want (省略is) this female’s mind
    應該要說成: The less thing that you want is this female’s mind. Less做形容詞用
    2. You want this female’s mind less right here. Less作形容詞用,倒裝置於句首

    MARY:
    You better settle down, Levi Jackson. Less you want this female’s mind right here, in front of everybody.
    瑪莉:
    你最好安靜點 (或你最好說清楚)
    除非你要我當眾發脾氣 (或要我在大家面前攤開來說嗎)

    LEVI JACKSON (Mary的先生):
    All I’m saying, don’t play a fool. I don’t want to see you get hurt. NASA’s never given you gals your due, having another degree won’t change that. Civil rights ain’t always civil.
    瑪莉先生:
    沒這意思,我只希望你別被騙 (我只想說,別被耍了)
    不希望你受傷 (我不想看到你受傷)
    NASA從沒幫你們說句公道話 (NASA從沒幫你們爭取什麼?)
    再多個學位也無法改變
    公民權利需靠抗爭爭取 (公民權利有時只是說說而已)

    1. 句中的less就是unless的意思,在口語中可以這樣用。寫出來的話通常會加個撇號,寫成 'less,表示有省略。

    Propaganda aside, that's as strong a criticism as one is likely to hear of her
    1 意思是: 某人聽到對她的批評,而這個批評的力道跟Propaganda的力道是相同的?

    When he rode a motorcycle into southern Afghanistan to launch his uprising against the Taliban, he was unarmed. Many friends told Karzai his plan was suicidal, that he might as well save the gas money and drive his bike straight into a brick wall.
    2 he might as well save...為何不改成he might as well have saved非事實?

    As a result, early stages of local outbreaks tended to be largely ignored, and action was often not taken until it was too late to achieve containment. Influenza would become a reportable disease early in the seoncd wave of the pandemic, but not until infection was so widespread as to preclude accurate record keeping.
    3 but not until =but Influenza would not become a reportable disease early in the seoncd wave of the pandemic until ?
    4流感在第二波初期成為通報的疾病是千真萬確的,但為何用猜測語氣Influenza would become?

    Nor is the money the government has sent anywhere near enough to treat patients
    5 Nor anywhere near= nowhere near= not at all ?

    In trying to protect the students he was defending his dreams for a better US
    6 In..=because he tried to ... ?
    謝謝老師
