UNIT 7
1. S + V +疑問詞(why/who/whom/what/when/where/how) + S (+ Aux) +
V....
說明 1此句型為疑問詞引導名詞子句的間接問句用法,疑問詞所引導的名詞子句為主要子句的受詞。不同於一般的疑問句的形式,間接問句的主詞和動詞不用倒裝,以直述句的方式呈現,即S (+ Aux) + V。注意疑問句中的助動詞do/does/did通常不用於名詞子句。
2使用的疑問詞視句意不同而改變: why表示「理由」、who和whom表示「人」、what表示「事物」、when表示「時間」、where表示「地點」、how表示「方法」。
3在此句型中,句尾的標點符號由主要子句決定。若主要子句為直述句,該句以句點結尾;若主要子句為疑問句,該句則以問號結尾。
例句 1. Do you know why flowers bloom
in spring? (你知道為什麼花開在春天嗎?)
2. Can you tell me where the restroom
is? (你可以告訴我洗手間在哪裡嗎?)
3. I don't know who the girl in red is. (我不知道穿著紅色的女孩是誰。)
練習 1. 你可以告訴我現在幾點了嗎?
Can you tell me what time it is ?
Can you tell me what time it is ?
2. 我不知道會議什麼時候開始。
I don't know when the meeting starts .
I don't know when the meeting starts .
2. S + Vt + IO + DO
→ S + Vt + DO + Prep + IO
→ S + Vt + DO + Prep + IO
說明 1此句型裡的動詞稱為授與動詞,是及物動詞(Vt)的一種。授與動詞有兩個受詞(O):一個是授予的事物,為直接受詞(DO);另一個則是給予的對象,稱作間接受詞(IO)。
2授與動詞後方可先加間接受詞,再加上直接受詞。但是,若授與動詞後方欲先加上直接受詞,則須於其後加上介系詞(Prep),例如to或for等,再加上間接受詞。
3常見的授與動詞和其搭配的介系詞如下:
(1) bring/give/lend/sell/send/show/teach/tell/... + DO + to + IO
(2) bring/buy/get/make... + DO + for + IO
(1) bring/give/lend/sell/send/show/teach/tell/... + DO + to + IO
(2) bring/buy/get/make... + DO + for + IO
4如果直接受詞是代名詞,如it或them時,必須以代名詞加上介系詞後,再加間接受詞的方式呈現。
例句 1. Demeter gave Persephone all of her
love.
→ Demeter gave all her love to Persephone. (狄蜜特給波瑟芬妮她全部的愛。)
→ Demeter gave all her love to Persephone. (狄蜜特給波瑟芬妮她全部的愛。)
2. Fred bought his girlfriend a
new purse.
→ Fred bought a new purse for his girlfriend. (Fred買了新皮包給他的女朋友。)

on her birthday.

2. Peter從美國寄了張明信片給我。

3. because
of
說明 because of 為介系詞片語,表示「因為……」,後面須接名詞或名詞片語。注意單獨because則為從屬連接詞,後面需接副詞子句,不可接名詞。兩者皆可置於句首或句中,置於句首時須加逗點隔開。

were fruitful and blooming all the time because of Demeter.
(因為狄蜜特,樹木總是結實纍纍、開花不斷。)

4. S1
+ V1 + .... 連接副詞(Adv), S2
+ V2 ....
說明 1連接副詞(conjunctive adverb)為具有連接功能的副詞,主要的目的在於連接兩個獨立子句,讓語意更為順暢。注意連接副詞雖然能連接語意,但不為連接詞,所以使用連接副詞連接兩個獨立子句時,第一個子句要用分號或句號,而不是逗號。
2常見的連接副詞: however、nevertheless表示「然而」,thus、therefore表示「因此」,as a result表示「結果」, besides、in addition、moreover示「此外」。

5.
so...that...
