①内容分析
我们在前面的讲义讲到过破折号的作用。这个句子的破折号发挥的就是“补充”的作用,后半句实际在补充前面那么做的原因。
前半句可以按照关系词和连词拆分成三个部分。
One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them
交换的基本规则之一应该是每个人必须试穿衣服在拿它们之前
首先是一个that引导的表语从句。说老实话我学了这么多年英语也没太弄明白到底“表语”是个什么东西。表语好像可以是名词、代词、形容词、副词、介词短语、非谓语、数词……我当时就在想,还有什么是不能当表语的嘛……接下来学到表语从句,觉得这玩意和宾语从句也没什么区别,最多就是引导词使用条件宽泛了点,多了些as if这样的连词短语,但是理解上也没太大难度。然后就学到了各位耳熟能详的“主系表结构”,系动词后面是表语……嗯,对于理解“什么是表语”毫无帮助,系动词的事咱们等会再说。
按照我个人的经验,绝大多数情况下你是不需要区分表语从句和宾语从句的,所以这里be动词后面的that从句,你当作宾从理解不会有任何问题。
“ground rules 基本规则”,对ground的意思稍微引申一下就能明白。“try on 试穿”,这个短语应该大家都认识。
后半句在补充说明为什么要试穿,按照关系词可以拆成两个部分。
things always look different when you put them on
东西总是看上去不一样当你穿上的时候
“look different”这里的look就是系动词。说老实话我学了这么多年英语也没太弄明白到底“系动词”是个什么东西。语法书上告诉我有完全联系动词和半系动词,还有状态系动词、持续系动词、表像系动词、感官系动词、变化系动词、终止系动词,还有些动词既可以做实义动词又可以做系动词,还有海量的小规则和例句……看完以后,我默默地合上了语法书,虽然什么也没有记住,但是看看窗外的蓝天,就释然了。
语法专家的事交给语法专家去做,咱们作为使用英语的普通人,只要老老实实地熟悉常规用法就行了。所谓的系动词100%都是最基本的动词,不管你知不知道它是系动词,这些词的用法你必须掌握。
