B2 U2 Sentence Pattern Practice

Unit 2

1. wh­ + S + V → wh­ + to V

說明  疑問詞wh­ (whom、what、when、where、which、how)引導的名詞子句中，

       若句意為「應該……」或「可以……」，通常可簡化成名詞片語(wh­ + to V)。

       此類的名詞子句中常搭配should、can或could等助動詞。

例句 1. Many household objects can be a great help to us, as long as we know how we can use them.

→ Many household objects can be a great help to us, as long as we know how to use them.
(只要我們知道如何使用，許多居家常備的物品可以幫上大忙。)

2. Tom is thinking about where he should go on the weekend.

→ Tom is thinking about where to go on the weekend.

(Tom正在思考週末應該去哪裡。)

3. Jeff will tell you what you should do when you’re ready.

→ Jeff will tell you what to do when you’re ready.

(等你準備好時Jeff會告訴你該做什麼。)

練習 1. Rachel不知道如何拒絕Charlie又不使他心碎。

Rachel doesn’t know  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 Charlie without breaking his heart.

2. Daniel問我他應該什麼時候採取行動。

Daniel asked me  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 his move.

2. S + seem(s) to + V....
  → It seems (that) + S + V....

說明 1 此句型有推測的意味，用來表達「不確定的看法或推論」，意思為

        「似   乎……，好像……」。句子中以人或具體的事物作主詞，後面則 

        以seem(s) to加上原形動詞來表示。注意seem不能為進行式。

     2 另外，此句型也能以第二個句型替換。句子中的it為虛主詞，用以代替

        that所引導的子句(真主詞)。當從第一個句型換成第二個句型時，須注意

        動詞的時態變化。

例句 1. Cola seems to be the same as any other beverage.
       → It seems that Cola is the same as any other beverage.
       (可樂似乎和其他飲料一樣。)

     2. William seems to prefer tea to coffee.
       → It seems that William prefers tea to coffee.
       (William好像喜歡茶多於咖啡。)

     3. Tracy and Mike seem to fall in love with each other.
       → It seems Tracy and Mike fall in love with each other.
       (Tracy和Mike似乎愛上彼此了。)

練習 1. 一張DVD對電影迷來說似乎是最完美的禮物。
        A DVD  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 the perfect gift for a movie fan.

     2. Larry說的話似乎傷了他女朋友的心。
　　 　　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 Larry’s words have broken his girlfriend’s heart.

3. in fact 其實

說明  in fact可以用來表示「其實，事實上」，其他類似的用法有actually, in truth     

      和as a matter of fact。

例句 1. In fact, many household objects can be a great help to us in our daily lives.
       (事實上，許多居家用品可以對我們的日常生活起很大的幫助。)

     2. Nancy let Ron believe she enjoyed the movie, but in truth she thought it

       was boring.

       (Nancy讓Ron相信她喜歡這部電影，但事實上她覺得電影很無聊。)

     3. I don’t know what Jack looks like. As a matter of fact, I have never met him.
       (我不知道Jack長什麼樣子。事實上，我從來沒有見過他。)

練習 1. Charlie也許看起來很安靜，但其實他是個非常友善和有創意的人。
       Charlie may seem quiet, but  　　 　  　　 　 he is a very friendly

       and creative person.

     2. 我對於我的演講不是感到很緊張。事實上，我相當放鬆。
        I’m not very nervous about my speech.

         　　 　  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　, I’m quite relaxed.

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

說明 1此用法表示「使……變得……，使……成為……」的意思。make為不完

       全及物動詞，加上受詞後還須加上形容詞作為受詞補語，才能使語意完整。

     2此句型中真正的受詞為後面的不定詞片語(to V)，爲避免頭重腳輕，故用

       虛主詞it來代替。

例句 1. The acid in the soda will eat away at the rust and make it easy to wipe away.
       (汽水中的酸會腐蝕鏽斑，使它變得容易擦掉。)

     2. The coffee stains on the letter made it difficult for me to read.
       (信上的咖啡漬讓我閱讀起來很困難。)

     3. These online lessons make it possible for people to learn Japanese at home.
       (這些線上課程讓人們可以在家學日文。)

練習 1. 這個裝置將使得偷竊這輛車變得更困難。
        The device will  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 to steal this car.

     2. 交通堵塞使得Billy不可能準時到學校。
        The traffic jam  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　  　　 　 Billy to get

        to school on time.

5. a few/few + N

說明  few用在複數可數名詞，a few表示「一些，幾個」，few則表示「不多，

      很少」。

例句 1. If you put a few sugar cubes into a container of cookies, the cookies will

       stay fresh and crisp.　

       (如果你在餅乾罐裡放幾塊方糖，餅乾就能保持新鮮酥脆。)

B6U1 Sentence Pattern Practice

Unit 1

1. A + as + Adj/Adv + as + B

說明  此為形容詞(Adj)與副詞(Adv)原級比較的句型，表示「A和B一樣……」。第一個as是副詞，用來修飾後面的形容詞或副詞，第二個as是連接詞，用來引導副詞子句。

     ‚ 主要動詞為be動詞或連綴動詞時，須接形容詞原級；動詞為一般動詞時，則接副詞原級。

     ƒ 若比較的對象為代名詞，則第二個as之後通常接代名詞主格加助動詞或be

動詞。在口語中，as之後也可以直接接代名詞受格。

例句 1. Still, many people believe that GM fruits are just as tasty as fruits from Mother Nature.

(仍然，許多人相信基因改造水果和大自然的水果一樣好吃。)
2. The boy plays golf as well as a professional player.

(那個男孩高爾夫球打得跟職業選手一樣好。)
3. My father is as busy as I am/me.

(我爸爸和我一樣忙。)

練習 1. 那個小女孩看起來和大人一樣成熟。

          The little girl ________ ___ mature an adult.

2. 電影中的男人可以跑得和車一樣快。

 The man in the movie can run _________a car.

 

2. A + be + Adj­er/more Adj + than + B

  → B + be + less Adj + than + A

  → B + be + not + as Adj as + A

說明 此為形容詞比較級用法。第一個句型為形容詞比較級的用法，表示「A比B較為……」；而第二個句型是第一個的反向說法，為劣等比較，表示「B不比 

A……」；第三個則為形容詞原級比較的否定用法，表示「B不如A……」。

例句 1. The pineapple sugar apple is even sweeter than either one of its already sweet “parents.”

         → Either one of the pineapple sugar apple's already sweet “parents” is less sweet than the pineapple sugar apple.

→ Either one of the pineapple sugar apple's already sweet “parents” is not as

sweet as the pineapple sugar apple.

(鳳梨釋迦甚至比它任何一個原本就甜的「父母親」都要來得甜。)

2. Praise is more inspiring than criticism.

  → Criticism is less inspiring than praise.

  → Criticism is not as inspiring as praise.

(讚美比批評更能鼓舞人心。)

3. For Meg, English is easier than math.

  → For Meg, math is less easy than English.

→ For Meg, math is not as easy as English.

(對Meg來說，英文比數學更簡單。)

練習 1. 騎腳踏車不比開車貴。　(...less...)

                ___             ___            ___            _

2. 這件藍色洋裝不比紅色洋裝美麗。　(...not as...)

_____________________________________                         

 

3. S + make/find/think/consider + it + Adj (+ for sb) + to V...

說明  make (使……)、find (覺得……)、think和consider (認為……)為不完全及物動詞，受詞後仍須形容詞作為受詞補語，才能使句意完整。

     ‚ it在此句型中為虛受詞，真受詞為之後的不定詞片語(to V)。

例句 1. Have you ever found it difficult to slice a watermelon or inconvenient to store one in your fridge?　

 (你曾經覺得西瓜很難切片或不方便存放在冰箱嗎？)

2. The manager consider it essential for the employees to have good social skills.

(這位經理認為員工需要有好的社交技巧。)

3. Natalie didn't think it possible for her to win the singing competition.

(Natalie不認為自己有可能在歌唱比賽中獲勝。)

練習 1. 這場大雨使得駕駛人很難看清楚路況。

The heavy rain   _____  _____  _______ for drivers to see the road clearly.

2. 這位老先生覺得難以置信自己贏了頭獎。

The old man _______    _     ____  to believe that he had won the jackpot.

 

4. has/has + been + Vpp (+ by N)

說明 此為現在完成式句型的被動用法，表示被動語態的be動詞 + 過去分詞(Vpp)接在have/has之後，所以 be動詞一律寫為過去分詞been，而be動詞後的過去分詞(Vpp)不變。

例句 1. Scientists playing with plant genes have produced blue­colored bananas and strawberries shaped like carrots.　

       → Blue­colored bananas and strawberries shaped like carrots have been produced by scientists playing with plant genes.  (藍色的香蕉以及紅蘿蔔形狀的草莓已經被從事植物基因工作的科學家製造了。)

2. A letter to Mrs. Redcliff has been written by the teacher.

(這位老師寫了一封給Redcliff太太的信。)

3. Has Ted been told about the new policy?  (Ted有被告知新政策嗎？)

練習 1. The kitchen assistant has prepared the ingredients. (改寫句子)

 __________________________________________________________

2. The manager has chosen Chris to become the new team leader. (改寫句子)

   __________________________________________________________

 

5. S + feel/look/smell/sound/taste +   Adj

                                like + N

說明  感官動詞為不完全不及物動詞，後面不接受詞，但須有主詞補語(SC)來修 

        飾主詞，主詞補語可以是形容詞(Adj)或是介系詞片語like加上名詞。

      ‚ 常見的感官動詞有：feel表示「感覺起來」、look表示「看起來」、smell表    

         示「聞起來」、sound表示「聽起來」和taste表示「嚐起來」。

例句 1. If you think this all sounds too crazy, you might be relieved to hear that not all the results from these experiments are this extreme.
(如果你覺得這一切都聽起來太瘋狂，當聽到並非所有的實驗結果都是如此極端時，你可能會鬆口氣。)
