建立英文文法整體結構框架的重點,是要將這套框架應用到你在真實生活中遇到的每一句英文入面,令你可以不斷、自然地鞏固自己的文法知識,同時也盡可能有系統地學習新的(和一定要「記」的東西)——例如單字和表達方式。
你能不能將在《Core Concepts of English》學過的框架,應用到以下句子入面,回答以下問題?
There’s no easy answer, but we assembled a panel of four experts who are closely following the impact of A.I. on work to try to help shed light on this question.
這並沒有一個簡單答案,但我們集合了四位密切關注人工智能對工作影響的專家,組成一個 panel,希望嘗試幫助大家更清楚理解這個問題。
(Original article)
How many clauses are there in this sentence?
這個句子由多少個子句組成?What is the grammatical role of “who are closely following the impact of A.I. on work”?
「Who are closely following the impact of A.I. on work」這部分的文法角色和功能是甚麼?What can we learn about the expression “shed light” from this example?
從這個例子中,我們可以學到關於「shed light」這個表達方式的甚麼特徵?
Answers 答案:
3 clauses
[ There’s no easy answer, ] but [ we assembled a panel of four experts [ who are closely following the impact of A.I. on work ] to try to help shed light on this question. ]“Who are closely following the impact of A.I. on work” is a relative clause describing the noun phrase “four experts” (「正在 closely following the impact of A.I. on work」的四位專家)
The expression “shed light” (verb + direct object) is further completed/modified by a specific prepositional phrase with “on” — like “on this question” — to complete its meaning of “clarifying/adding insight to what”
「Shed light」這個表達方式(動詞 + 它的直接賓語)會再由一個以「on」開始的特定介詞組完成/修飾——例如「on this question」——去完整表達「為甚麼事情提供更深入理解」的意思。
