Analysis on difficult sentences.
1.When the two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, first meet, the music is light and pleasant, as if whispering to the audience. (lines 7-9)
思考:本句中meet为什么用动词原形?whisper为什么用whispering的分词形式?
在故事叙述、戏剧评论或新闻标题中,往往使用一般现在时,给人以身临其境的感觉,加强故事的感染力。
由于as if后没有主语,故需使用非谓语动词。
动词whisper和逻辑主语the music为主动关系,故用whispering。
as if后省略了和主语it(指代the music)和be动词were,用了拟人手法。
