句型重點解析 UNIT 5.2

1. no/not/never...without + V-ing/N

說明此為雙重否定的句型，句中用兩個否定詞來表示肯定，為「無……不……，每……必……」之意。注意without為介系詞，後面須接動名詞(V-ing)或名詞。

例句

1. It is never a good idea to take a job without finding out as much information about it as possible in advance.
(沒有事先盡可能找出越多關於某份工作的資訊就接受它，絕對不是個好點子。)

2. Monica has no power without drinking coffee in the morning. (Monica早上沒喝咖啡就沒精神。)

3. I cannot finish my report without a computer. (我沒有電腦就無法完成我的報告。)

2. S + Vt (leave/keep/find) + O + OC (Adj/V-ing/Vpp)

說明1. leave、keep、find為不完全及物動詞，在受詞(O)之後須加形容詞或分詞當受詞補語(OC)，以使語意完整。受詞補語和受詞如為主動關係，即使用現在分詞(V-ing)；若是被動關係，則用過去分詞(Vpp)。

2. leave、keep表示「使……保持……狀態」；find則表示「發現……處於……狀態」。

例句

1. You may find the work either boring or backbreaking—or both.
(你可能會發現這份工作不是很無聊就是讓人腰痠背痛──或兩者皆是。)

2. Jason shouldn’t leave his students standing in the rain as a punishment.(Jason不該把他的學生留在雨中罰站。)

3. Rachel will keep the gold hidden in the attic. (Rachel將把金子藏在閣樓裡。)

3. one thing...another　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　一回事……另一回事

說明此句型表示「一回事……另一回事」，another為代名詞，指同類的其他事物。

例句

1. It is one thing to have such a dream, but quite another to get the money needed to realize this dream.
(擁有如此的夢想是一回事，但取得實現夢想所需的資金又是另一回事。)

2. To say is one thing, and to do is another. (說是一回事，而做又是另一回事。)

3. It is one thing to learn English, while quite another to talk in English.
(學英文是一回事，然而開口說英文又是另一回事。)

4. too + Adj + to V　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　太……以致於不能……

說明1. 此句型表示「太……以致於不能……」，too後面接形容詞原級，再接不定詞 (to V)。注意句型裡雖未出現not等否定字彙，但本身即具有否定意義。

2. 此句型也可用so...that替換，但so...that本身並沒有否定意義，故that後面須用否定子句，改寫成“so + Adj + that + 否定子句”。

例句

1. Does this sound too good to be true?→Does this sound so good that it cannot be true?(這聽起來好到不像真的嗎？)

2. My brother is too young to drink. →My brother is so young that he cannot drink.(我弟弟還太小不能喝酒。)

3. One is never too old to learn.→ One is never so old that he or she cannot learn.   (活到老，學到老。)

5. S + make + it + Adj (+ for sb) + to V....

說明1. make為不完全及物動詞，加上受詞後須再加形容詞作為受詞補語，才能使句意完整；其他相同用法的動詞有find、think、consider等。

2. 此句型中真正的受詞為後面的不定詞片語(to V)，為避免句子頭重腳輕，故用虛受詞it來替代。

例句

1. Having other people who are also in a similar situation makes it easy to make friends.
(擁有其他身在同樣處境的人讓交朋友變得容易。)

2. The student’s terrible handwriting made it difficult to read his homework.
(這個學生潦草的筆跡讓閱讀他的作業變得困難。)

3. My family’s poor economic conditions make it impossible for me to study abroad.
(我家困難的經濟狀況讓我不可能出國唸書。)
