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。)

     2. Nina bought a few dresses in the department store.
