U1 U5 Sentence Pattern Practice

UNIT 5

1. To V₁/V_1-ing... (+ Aux) + be/V₂....

說明 1不定詞或動名詞片語皆可當句子的主詞，視為第三人稱單數，須接單數動詞。

2作主詞時，若不定詞片語過長，常會以虛主詞it替代，並將真主詞置於句子的後半部，避免整個句子頭重腳輕。其句型為“It (+ Aux) + be/ V₂... to V₁.... ”。

例句 1. To Juan Mann, arriving/to arrive at an airport alone was very depressing.
(對Juan Mann來說，一個人孤零零地抵達機場非常令人沮喪。)

2. To say/Saying is one thing, but to do/doing is another.
(說是一回事，做又是另一回事。)

3. To give a speech in public makes Brian nervous.

2. 跑馬拉松需要堅強的毅力。
　To　 　run　 a marathon takes a strong will.

2. S₁ + suggest + that + S₂ + (should) V....

說明 1此句型表示「建議某人應該做某事」之意。動詞suggest後接that所引導的名詞子句當受詞，而子句中的助動詞should常被省略，所以不論何種時態或人稱，其後動詞均可用原形。

2如要表達否定，則把not加在子句中原形動詞前即可。

3其他類似用法的動詞尚有：recommend (推薦)、advise (勸告)、demand (要求)、order (命令)、insist (堅持)、require (需要)等。

例句 1. Juan Mann suggested that he and the lady (should) share a hug.
(Juan Mann建議婦人和他擁抱一下。)

3. make + O + V....

說明 make為使役動詞，表示「使……做某事，讓……做某事」之意。若受詞為主動發出動作者，其後須接原形動詞。

例句 1. Arriving at the airport alone made Mann feel lonely and depressed.
(孤零零地抵達機場使Mann感到既寂寞又沮喪。)

4. to one's + N  令人感到……的是
