文法講座十三:特殊的「雖然…;儘管…」句型


「雖然;儘管」句型寫法如下:
Adj / Adv + as +
主詞1 + 動詞1, 主詞2 + 動詞2


例句:雖然她很窮,但她還是過著快樂的生活。

Poor as she is, she leads a happy life.
[
形容詞] [主詞1] [動詞1] [主詞2] [動詞2]

Although she is poor, she leads a happy life.
[
連接詞「雖然;儘管」,也可換成 though while ]

She is poor, but she leads a happy life.
[
連接詞「但是」,也可換成 whereas ]

例句:雖然 Tim 很努力K書,但他英文還是考不及格。

Hard as Tim studied,  he failed the English test.
[
副詞]  [主詞1] [動詞1]  [主詞2] [動詞2]

Although Tim studied hard, he failed the English test.
[
連接詞「雖然;儘管」,也可換成 though while]

Tim studied hard, but he failed the English test.
    [
連接詞「但是」,也可換成 whereas]

 

 

 

文法講座十四:主詞和動詞一致


英文句子的基本結構為:主詞 + 動詞 + 地點 + 時間;其中「主詞」和 「動詞」為必備要件,缺一不可,而「地點」和「時間」則可有可無。
分析句子結構時,得先找出「動詞」,「動詞」之前的部分即為「主詞」。「主詞」和 「動詞」需一致的的意思就是:「單數」主詞需搭配「單數」動詞,而「複數」主詞則需搭配「複數」動詞。


例句:斑馬身上的條紋幫助它躲避敵人。

A zebra’s stripes help this animal hide from its enemies.
[
主詞]             [動詞]

主詞「斑馬身上的條紋」中,「斑馬的」為形容詞,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「條紋」,stripes 為複數,需搭配「複數」動詞 help

例句:撤銷贊助所有學校活動這決議已引發軒然大波。

The decision to withdraw all support from the school activities has caused an uproar.
[
主詞]                                                               [動詞]

主詞「撤銷贊助所有學校活動這決議」中,「to withdraw…activities」補充說明「決議」內容,為「主詞補語」,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「決議」,the decision 為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 has caused

例句:陳偉殷,以及他的對友,在棒球場上是個可怕難纏的對手。

Wei-Yin Chen, together with his teammates, presents a formidable opponent in the baseball field.
[
主詞]                   [插入的補述句]        [動詞]

「插入的補述句」不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在主詞「陳偉殷」,主詞為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 presents

例句:站在兩個醋勁大發的女友間的那名男子,突然被一張天外飛來的椅子擊中。

Suddenly, the man standing between his two jealous girlfriends was hit by a flying chair.
             [
主詞]                                                    [動詞]

主詞「站在兩個醋勁大發的女友間的那名男子」中,「站在女友間的」( standing … girlfriends )為「形容詞」,不會影響動詞單複數,故重點在名詞「男子」,the man 為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 was hit

例句:兩個女孩都還沒交英文作文。

Neither of the girls has turned in the English compositions.
[
主詞]              [動詞]

主詞由「數量詞 of 名詞」組成,動詞單複數必須視「數量詞」而定。數量詞 neither 意指「沒半個」,為單數,需搭配「單數」動詞 has turned

 

 

 

文法講座十五:介係詞「雖然儘管」despitein spite of


介係詞「雖然;儘管」despitein spite offor allwith all,用於承接語意有所轉折的句子,後方都需搭配「名詞」。而「雖然;儘管」despite the fact that in spite of the fact that 為「連接詞」,後方需連接「句子」( 主詞 + 動詞 )


例句:儘管生病了,Helen昨天還是去上學。
可用「介係詞」來寫:

Despite  her illness, Helen went to school yesterday.
[
介係詞] [名詞] 

可將「介係詞」despite 換成 in spite offor all with all

Although she was sick, Helen went to school yesterday.

連接詞] [主詞1] [動詞1] [主詞2] [動詞2]
