句型重點解析 UNIT 5.3

1. Noun Clauses as Subjects or Objects

說明1. 名詞子句可在句子中當主詞或受詞，視為單數。可引導名詞子句的連接詞有that、if、whether及wh-疑問詞等。

2. 由that所引導的名詞子句作受詞時常省略that，作主詞時則必須保留。

例句

1. The results showed (that) those participating in the experiment ate 73 percent more soup than normal.

 (結果顯示那些參與實驗的人喝下比平常多了73%的湯。)

2. That Ig Nobel research is fascinating should by now be clear.

 (現在搞笑諾貝爾獎研究的迷人之處應該很清楚了。)

3. What the murderer has done is unforgivable. (那個殺人犯的所作所為是不可原諒的。)

2. more A than B

說明：此句型表示「與其說是B，不如說是A」，A和B的詞性須一致。

例句

1. Wansink stated that people eat more with their eyes than (with) their stomachs.

 (Wansink說明人們與其說是用胃吃東西，不如說是用眼睛吃東西。)

2. Susan is more diligent than intelligent. (與其說Susan聰明，不如說她努力。)

3. My father was more disappointed than angry about my grades.

 (與其說我父親對我的成績感到生氣，不如說他是感到失望。)

3. (Being +) Adj/Vpp..., S + V....

說明：形成分詞構句時，含有be動詞的副詞子句或被動語態可以只保留形容詞或過去分詞(Vpp)，省略在句首的Being。

例句

1. Because people were unaware of what was going on, they kept eating from these “bottomless bowls.”
→ Unaware of what was going on, people kept eating from these “bottomless bowls.”

    (因為人們不知道發生什麼事，他們持續從這些「無底碗」中進食。)

2. Since Jill is fond of sweets, she never finishes a meal without dessert.
→ Fond of sweets, Jill never finishes a meal without dessert.
   (由於熱愛甜食，Jill一定要吃完甜點才結束一餐。)

3. Because Terry is interested in Chinese culture, he started to learn Chinese.
→ Interested in Chinese culture, Terry started to learn Chinese.
   (因為對中華文化感興趣，Terry開始學中文。)

4. All (that)/What + S + have to do + is/was + (to) V....

說明1. 名詞子句All (that)/What + S + have to do為此句型的主詞，視為第三人稱單數。

2. 主詞補語為不定詞(to V)，其to可省略。

3. 名詞子句中的All可換成What；而have to也可改用其他助動詞如must、should、can等代換。

例句

1. The researchers proved that all these farmers have to do is name the cows.
(研究人員證明這些農夫所必須做的就是幫乳牛命名。)

2. The bus just left. All we can do is wait for the next one. (公車剛剛開走了。我們能做的就是等下一班。)

3. What the police had to do was find out where the bomb was. (警方必須做的是找出炸彈在哪裡。)

5. be (un)able to + V　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(不)能夠……

說明：此句型用來表示「能力」，常可和can(not)代換，需變化時態直接調整be動詞之時態即可。

例句

1. A woman wearing the Emergency Bra will be able to not only survive a terrorist attack but also save someone beside her. (穿著救難胸罩的女性不只能從恐怖攻擊中存活下來，也可以拯救她旁邊的人。)

2. To get the job, you should be able to speak fluent English. (要得到這份工作，你應該要能說流利的英文。)

3. Tim hurt his legs, so he was unable to run the marathon. (Tim的雙腿受傷，所以他無法參加馬拉松比賽。)
