The Uffington White Horse is a unique, stylised representation of a horse consisting of a long, sleek back, thin disjointed legs, a streaming tail, and a bird-like beaked head. 請問老師consisting of 是來修飾representation還是horse？如果在consisting of前面加一個逗點，它是不是就變成修飾the Uffington White Horse了？
老師您好 There’s so much to drink in you’d wish for 25 hours in a day. 原句可以還原為There’s so much to drink in than there are things you’d wish for 25 hours in a day.? 感覺原句缺少什麼字之類的 謝謝老師
In conditions of good visibility, seamen in the Mediterranean often had the mainland or islands in sight, which greatly facilitated navigation. 請問老師the mainland or islands中的the是只修飾mainland還是也包含the islands? 還有為什麼mainland不加s呢？
老師您好 Elliptical wings are short and rounded, having a low aspect ratio, allowing for tight maneuvering in confined spaces (1)such as might be found in dense vegetation. (2)As such they are common in forest raptors and many passerines. (1)such as 的意思是什麼? 有省略什麼字嗎? (2)As such= that kind or type of wings?

1 有移動。還原為in such confined spaces as might be found...，其中as是準關係代名詞。可進一步還原為in such confined spaces as the spaces that might be found... 2 是。可視為as such things的省略 3 都講得通，所以都有可能

老師好 Explorer and travel writer Peter Fleming talks of the moment when the explorer returns to the existence he has left behind with his loved one. 請問老師with his loved one是修飾returns還是has left behind還是兩者都有可能？
老師好，我想問對話： Ａ: You should have asked me. If you did, you might have saved some time. B: But I was worried that if I'd asked, you would have gotten upset. A: Next time, don't think about what I could have done, but what you should have done. 1. A 第一次說 If you did，是不是該說 If you had 才對？ 2. B 說擔心怎樣怎樣，但他擔心的應該是可能發生的事，不是該用 if I asked, you would get upset才合理嗎？ 3. A 第二次要表達自己可能會做什麼，還有 B 到時該怎麼辦，該用不確定語氣 what I could do、what you should do 吧？ 萬分感謝老師指教。
老師好
回覆刪除請問老師 History is clear that change can mean redundancies.
這句是so clear that... 省略了so 還是 that子句是同位格？
謝謝老師
that子句是名詞子句，可以這樣來看：
刪除History is clear about the fact that change can mean redundancies.
其中that子句是the fact的同位格

原句可以還原為There’s so much to drink in than there are things you’d wish for 25 hours in a day.? 感覺原句缺少什麼字之類的
謝謝老師
省掉的是that：There’s so much to drink in "that" you’d wish for 25 hours in a day.句型就是so ... that引導的副詞子句

限定詞the也涵蓋islands。mainland是大陸，只有一個。

回覆刪除Scientists say the discovery could help breed crops that are more resilient to the temperatures expected to result from climate change.
to result裡面的to是解釋為介系詞to+抽象名詞還是不定詞to+V？
謝謝老師
是不定詞。to result的限定動詞是will result。

刪除還原為副詞子句because it is more serious

回覆刪除Physically I might not have been overseas but mentally and spiritually I was with them.
事實上不在海外，為什麼用的是猜測語氣
謝謝老師
might是「承認有可能」，而只要是各種可能性、或然率，都稱為猜測語氣

請問老師
回覆刪除I wouldn't have done my work last week even if I'd have had time.
even if I'd have had time 裏頭的have是不是多的字？
謝謝。
比較標準的講法應該是even if I had had time
刪除旋
老師好，我續問同一題：
回覆刪除I wouldn't have done my work last week even if I'd had time.
即便我上周真的不會做事情，依然要用假設語氣是嗎？
謝謝。
是的，因為那是在「假如當時我有時間」的這個前提之下，而這個前提不成立，所以仍然要用非事實語氣。
刪除旋

回覆刪除Ａ: You should have asked me. If you did, you might have saved some time.
B: But I was worried that if I'd asked, you would have gotten upset.

3. A 第二次要表達自己可能會做什麼，還有 B 到時該怎麼辦，該用不確定語氣 what I could do、what you should do 吧？
萬分感謝老師指教。
1
刪除是
2
這樣說，那就是在「當時並沒有問」的前提之下，檢討為什麼當時沒有問。若用你的說法也行，意思變成「考慮之後才決定不問」
3
你的說法也行，意思不一樣。原文的說法是「下回不要在事後去後悔當初應該怎麼做」。
