請問老師 The programme has been so organized that none of the talks overlap. 這句話that子句是表示「以致於」還是交代安排的方式？ 1. 如此安排，所以演講的時間都沒有重疊。 2. 沒有一場演講重疊，用這種方式來安排議程。 感謝解答。
老師您好 1 Natural hormones may promote tissue growth in the breasts and thereby contribute to a cancer risk 2 Natural hormones may promote tissue growth in the breasts, thereby contributing to a cancer risk 1的意思是:Natural hormones thereby contribute to a cancer risk而2的意思是: natural hormones may promote tissue growth in the breasts這一件事 contributing to a cancer risk ? 謝謝老師
傳統文法的斷句如下： This speculation(S) is cut(V) short(C). 其中is cut是被動態的動詞片語，由is加上過去分詞cut構成。在OKE文法課的斷句則是： This speculation(S) is(V) cut short(C). 其中is是動詞，後面的cut short是過去分詞片語，當形容詞補語使用。 若改改為主動態是這樣的： The development(S) cuts(V) this speculation(O) short(C).
老師您好 1 She was incensed about the billionaires monopolizing all the perks. the billionaires monopolizing all the perks 可還原為the billionaires who monopolized all the perks.也可還原為 that the billionaires monopolized all the perks. 但是在原句中的還原應該是that the billionaires monopolized all the perks(指這一件事)才是對的?

請問老師 A: If it's anything like your mom's Christmas feast, then that's a lot of work. B: It is, and it will be. B用了兩種語氣，事實語氣表示確實如此沒錯，條件語氣表示到時候可能是這樣。請問我這樣想對嗎？ 謝謝。
1. The minuscule robot created by scientists at northwestern university is shaped like a crab and is built using a special alloy that can take different shapes depending on the temperature. 請問老師using a special alloy是副詞子句的減化嗎？按照語意來看為什麼不是使用“被動”意思的used呢？
2. The team hopes the tech one day be used as the basis for future robotics in the fields of medicine. 老師這句裡面的be用原形，是因為這裡是祈使語氣的用法嗎？
老師好 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is selling like mad in the US, and Taiwan has its own real-life murderer to match. to match應該可還原為that can match，只是這裡的match意思是匹敵嗎 ?做這個意思解不是當及物動詞用才對嗎？謝謝老師。
老師您好 Often, the best option was to hope that things would turn out better one day and do what little one could to help them along. Clinton's team managed to do that with Russia. That's worth raising a glass to. Yeltsin certainly did.

1 對等連接詞and連接的是hope與do這兩個原形動詞，可以把to放回去理解： Often, the best option was to hope that things would turn out better one day and (to) do what little one could to help them along. 2, 3 先刪掉little，成為： to do what one could 其中what是複合關代，可拆開為先行詞the thing加關代that，如下： to do the thing that one could 再把限定詞little放回去，成為： to do the little thing that one could 若把先行詞the little thing併入關代that成為複合關代，會成為what，但少了little，所以才說to do what little one could。to do little one could不對。 4 意思是that's worth raising a glass to (it)，其中it就是that 5 正確！

回覆刪除1 Natural hormones may promote tissue growth in the breasts and thereby contribute to a cancer risk
2 Natural hormones may promote tissue growth in the breasts, thereby contributing to a cancer risk

That's just beginner's luck.
回覆刪除請問老師，限定詞裡的名詞為何沒有自己的限定詞？像是a dog's ears。
謝謝。
名詞片語a dog's ears裏面的限定詞是所有格a dog's，所有者a dog又是個名詞片語，有自己的限定詞a。加上's之後成為所有格限定詞，搭配名詞ears使用。

回覆刪除It seems obvious, therefore, that with computers producing art, this speculation is cut short - there's nothing to explore. 請問老師 cut 的詞類是什麼？
謝謝老師
傳統文法的斷句如下：
刪除This speculation(S) is cut(V) short(C).
其中is cut是被動態的動詞片語，由is加上過去分詞cut構成。在OKE文法課的斷句則是：
This speculation(S) is(V) cut short(C).
其中is是動詞，後面的cut short是過去分詞片語，當形容詞補語使用。
若改改為主動態是這樣的：
The development(S) cuts(V) this speculation(O) short(C).

回覆刪除Having completed the initial research, the scientist presented her findings.
請問老師Having completed the initial research這部分是修飾the scientist，還是presented還是整個主句？
謝謝老師

副詞子句修飾的對象是動詞presented。

回覆刪除1. The minuscule robot created by scientists at northwestern university is shaped like a crab and is built using a special alloy that can take different shapes depending on the temperature.
請問老師using a special alloy是副詞子句的減化嗎？按照語意來看為什麼不是使用“被動”意思的used呢？
2. The team hopes the tech one day be used as the basis for future robotics in the fields of medicine.
老師這句裡面的be用原形，是因為這裡是祈使語氣的用法嗎？
謝謝老師
1
刪除是副詞子句減化。原句是被動態（the robot is built...），暗示by people。後面的分詞構句using a special alloy原來的主詞就是people。這種情況也可以視為主詞相同
2
這句有錯，應該是will one day be used才對。

回覆刪除Cinnamon was also reported to have health benefits…

用to V比較好，因為「報導」不等於「事實」，應該用不確定語氣。

刪除對等連接詞and連接的是hope與do這兩個原形動詞，可以把to放回去理解：
Often, the best option was to hope that things would turn out better one day and (to) do what little one could to help them along.
2, 3
先刪掉little，成為：
to do what one could
其中what是複合關代，可拆開為先行詞the thing加關代that，如下：
to do the thing that one could
再把限定詞little放回去，成為：
to do the little thing that one could
若把先行詞the little thing併入關代that成為複合關代，會成為what，但少了little，所以才說to do what little one could。to do little one could不對。

意思是that's worth raising a glass to (it)，其中it就是that

及物動詞的用法應該是to match it（要有受詞）。在此沒有受詞，就是當作不及物使用。
