句型重點解析 UNIT 2.6

UNIT 6

 

1. because + S + V... → because of + N

說明

because為從屬連接詞,引導表「原因」的從屬子句,不可直接接名詞或動名詞,且不可單獨成句;而because of為介系詞片語,後須接名詞或名詞片語。兩者皆可置於句首或句中,置於句首時,須加逗點隔開兩個子句。

 

例句

1. Because people like this “green” way of living, more and more companies are now offering LOHAS goods.

→Because of this “green” way of living, more and more companies are now offering LOHAS goods.

(由於這種「綠色」的生活方式,越來越多公司現在提供樂活的商品。)

2. The ball game was canceled because it rained heavily.

→The ball game was canceled because of the heavy rain.

(由於下大雨,所以球賽取消了。)

3. Because there was a big earthquake, many houses were destroyed.

→Because of the big earthquake, many houses were destroyed.

(因為大地震,很多房子都損毀了。)

 

2. N + who/which/that + V... → N + V-ing...

說明

此句型為關係子句簡化成「分詞片語」的用法。當關係代名詞為主格時,可將其省略,並將關係子句裡的動詞改為表主動的現在分詞(V-ing);若關係子句為進行式時,則只須將關係代名詞和be動詞省略即可。

 

例句

1. LOHAS has become a term which/that describes a healthy and earth-friendly lifestyle.

→LOHAS has become a term describing a healthy and earth-friendly lifestyle.

(樂活已經成為一個描述一種健康且環保的生活方式的用語了。)

2. Do you know the man who/that sits over there?

→Do you know the man sitting over there? (你認識坐在那邊的那個男子嗎?)

3. The little cat which/that is walking toward us looks cute.

→The little cat walking toward us looks cute.

(朝我們走來的小貓看起來很可愛。)

 

3. what = the thing(s) which/that

說明

1. what在此為複合關係代名詞,可作主詞、受詞或補語,表示「非特定的事物」,等同於the thing(s) which/that。複合關係代名詞兼具先行詞和關係代名詞的作用,相當於「先行詞 + 關係代名詞」。

2. 注意,當what作為主詞引導名詞子句時,須視為單數,後接單數動詞。

 

例句

1. What the student does is an example of LOHAS.

→The things which/that the student does are an example of LOHAS.

(這位學生所做的事便是一個樂活的例子。)

2. Cathy happily showed me what she bought today.

→Cathy happily showed me the thing(s) which/that she bought today.

(Cathy 開心地向我展示她今天買的東西。)

3. I don’t think what Eric said was right.

→I don’t think the thing which/that Eric said was right.

(我不認為Eric 說的事情是對的。)

 

4. N-Adj

說明

此為「名詞 + 形容詞」所構成的複合形容詞。複合形容詞是由兩種或兩種以上獨立的字組合而成的形容詞,這些字之間通常會加上連字號(-­)。複合形容詞有非常多種,以下概列九種常見的組合:

1. N + V-ing:time-consuming (耗費時間的)、peace-loving (愛好和平的);

2. N + Vpp:handmade (手工的)、man-caused (人為的);

3. N + Adj:world-famous (世界聞名的)、fat-free (不含脂肪的);

4. Adj + V-ing:good-looking (好看的)、sweet-smelling (香氣迷人的);

5. Adj + Vpp:newborn (新生的)、red-dyed (染成紅色的);

6. Adv + V-ing:fast-moving (快速的)、long-lasting (持久的);

7. Adv + Vpp:carefully-made (仔細製作的)、well-known (知名的);

8. Adj + N-ed:good-hearted (好心腸的)、middle-aged (中年的);

9. 數量詞 + 單數名詞:名詞多為時間、價值、長度等的數值,ten-minute (十分鐘的)、five-story (五層樓的)。

 

例句

1. We can all become earth-friendly people by living a LOHAS lifestyle.

(我們可以藉由過著樂活的生活方式成為對地球友善的人。)

2. Hans Christian Andersen has been considered a world-famous writer of children’s stories. (安徒生被視為一位舉世聞名的兒童故事作家。)

3. Olivia is on a diet, so she only drinks fat-free milk.

(Olivia 正在節食,所以她只喝脫脂牛奶。)

 

5. S + V + rather than + N/V...
→ S + V + instead of + N/V-ing...

說明

1. rather than和instead of均為「而不是……」或「代替……」的意思,不過rather than後面須接原形動詞,instead of則須接現在分詞。

2. instead of也可以副詞instead替代,instead表示「反而,作為替代」的意思,可置於句首或句尾;置於句首時,需以逗號與句子隔開。要注意的是,instead所接的句子表示「有去做的事情」,而instead of接的句子則意味著「沒有去做的事情」。

 

例句

1. We take the stairs rather than elevators, so we can save more electricity.

→ We take the stairs instead of elevators, so we can save more electricity.

(我們走樓梯而不是搭電梯,所以能夠節省更多的電力。)

2. We can walk or take a bus rather than ride a scooter.

→We can walk or take a bus instead of riding a scooter.

(我們可以用走的或是搭乘公車,以代替騎摩托車。)

3. We use our own shopping bags instead of using the paper or plastic bags from the store.

→We don’t use the paper or plastic bags from the store. Instead, we use our own shopping bags.

→We don’t use the paper or plastic bags from the store. We use our own shopping bags instead.

(我們不使用店家的紙袋或塑膠袋,而用自己的購物袋作為替代。)
