Book 2 Unit 4: Sentence Pattern Practice

Unit 4

1. get/grow/become + Adj

說明   get、grow和become皆為連綴動詞，後面須接形容詞作主詞補語，以補充

       說明主詞的狀態或性質，才能使句意完整。

例句 1. Children who start eating fatty food at an early age are more likely to become

       unhealthy.　(小小年紀就開始吃高脂食物的孩童較有可能變得不健康。)

     2. Ashley's dress got dirty when she fell into the pool.
       (Ashley的洋裝在她跌進水池時弄髒了。)

     3. We should leave the woods before the sky grows dark.
       (我們應該在天色變暗前離開樹林。)

     1. 等待輪到我上臺的同時我開始變得緊張。
       I started to 　had　 　had　  while waiting for my turn to go on stage.

     2. 工作了12小時之後，Edward開始變得勞累。
       After working for 12 hours, Edward began to 　had　 　had　.

2. ...N + why/when/where + S + V...

說明 1 此句型介紹關係副詞why、when以及where。關係副詞兼具連接詞及副詞

        兩種功能，用來引導結構完整的形容詞子句，以修飾前面的先行詞。why

        修飾表「原因、理由」的先行詞，when修飾表「時間」的先行詞，而where

        則修飾表「地點」的先行詞。

     2 「關係副詞 = 介系詞 + 關係代名詞」，即why = for which，when =

        at/in/on/during which，而where = at/in/on/from which。所以關係副詞直接置

        於先行詞之後，其前面不需加任何介系詞。

例句 1. There is an important reason why fast food is so popular in Asia.
       (速食在亞洲受到歡迎有一個很重要的原因。)

     2. This is the box where I keep my earrings.
       → This is the box in which I keep my earrings.　(這是我收納耳環的盒子。)

     3. Albert still remembers the day when he first met his wife.
       (Albert還記得他和他妻子初次相識的那一天。)

練習 1. Frank沒辦法給我一個為何他遲到這麼久的理由。
       Frank couldn't give me a 　had　 　had　  he was late for so long.

     2. Sandra想要搬到一個有很多陽光的地方。
       Sandra would like to move to a 　had　 　had　 there is a lot of sunshine.

3. according to 據……所說

說明 1 according to後面接某人或某事物，表示「據某人所說，據某事物所載」

        ，用來支持說話者自己的論點或意見。但注意後面接的是某人時，不可接

        自己或與view或opinion等自一起使用。若要表示自己的說法，則須用in  

        my view/opinion。

     2 according to 後面也可以接規則、計畫、說明等，表示「根據，按照」之意。

        作此用法時，多將according to置於句中。

例句 1. According to a study, people who eat fast food more than twice a week gain  

       weight more easily.
       (據一項研究顯示，一個星期吃兩次以上速食的人比較容易體重增加。)

     2. According to Joe's opinion, Mr. and Mrs. Cox are going to have a baby.　 (×)
       According to Joe, Mr. and Mrs. Cox are going to have a baby.　(○)
       (根據Joe的說法，Cox夫婦的小孩就要出生了。)

     3. Is everything going according to plan?
       (每件事都有按照計畫進行嗎？)

練習 1. 根據警方所說，車禍中沒有人受傷。
        　had　 　had　 the police, no one was hurt in the car accident.

     2. 這個國家的人將根據他們收入的多寡來繳稅。
       People in the country pay tax 　had　 　had　how much money they make.

4. for + 時間

說明  在for後面加上時間可以用來表示動作或狀態持續的時間，而for now則表示

      「暫時，目前」。

例句 1. Spurlock ate three meals a day at McDonald's for 30 days.
       (Spurlock 連續30天在麥當勞吃三餐。)

     2. The firework show only lasted for a while.　(煙火秀只持續了一會兒。)

     3. Bryan and Iris have been in a relationship for 8 years.
       (Bryan和Iris已經交往8年了。)

練習 1. 在我們打掃房子時，請暫時把狗留在外面。
       Please keep the dog out 　had　 　had　when we clean up the house.

     2. Alison已經退休10年了。
       Alison has been retired from her job 　had　 10 years.

5. in order to 為了……

說明  此用法表達「目的」，可置於句首或句中，後須接原形動詞，且常省略in order

       而只用to + V來表示「為了……」。in order to亦可與so as to代換使用，但

       so as to通常不置於句首。否定用法則為in order not to和so as not to。

例句 1. Fast­food restaurants even offer salads and fresh fruit in order to attract more

       customers.　(為了吸引更多的顧客，速食餐廳甚至提供沙拉和新鮮水果。)

     2. In order to catch the first train, we had better start off early.
       → To catch the first train, we had better start off early.
       (為了趕上第一班火車，我們最好早點出發。)

     3. On my way home, I stopped at a supermarket in order to buy some fruit.
       → On my way home, I stopped at a supermarket so as to buy some fruit.
       (回家的路上，我為了買一些水果而在一間超市停留。)

       some sugar cubes into the cookie jar.

       Alex walked quietly into the room so　had　 　had　 　had　  wake his

       sister up.
