难句解析
1. Today, I would like to talk to you guys and try to accumulate some more information about cultural differences because I have to do a piece of homework on cultural differences. (P34)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在此句中,I would like to talk to you ... about cultural differences 是主句。在主句中,would like与try是由and 连接起来的并列谓语;to talk to you guys是不定式短语作would like的宾语;在不定式短语中,guys是you的同位语,它们都作介词to的宾语;后面的because I have to ... 是原因状语从句。
2) 语言知识分析:句子中,about cultural differences与on cultural differences都是介词短语作定语,意为“关于文化差异的”,但是about与on所表示的内容略有不同,前者指“对差异的描述性介绍”,而后者指“对差异的探讨性的研究”。
2. Well, if you had joined the chat room ten minutes ago, you would have known what we were talking about! (P34)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在本句中,if you had ... 为条件状语从句,you would have known ...为主句;在主句中,what we were talking about为宾语从句,作know的宾语。
2) 语言知识分析:if ... had joined ... , ... would have known ... 为虚拟条件句,表示与过去事实不相符的一种情况。此时, 条件句中谓语动词一般用had done结构, 而主句中谓语动用would/ could/should/ might have done 结构。 e.g.
If you had prepared your lessons carefully,
you could have passed the exam.
3. I suppose Waled has already told you about the British teacher who opened the present as soon as he was given it at the end-of-term ceremony (P34)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在本句中,I suppose是主句,整个后面的部分为宾语从句;在宾语从句中,Waled has already told you about the British teacher是主句,
后面who opened the present是定语从句,
修饰teacher;在定语从句中,as soon as...
引导一个时间状语从句。
2) 语言知识分析:as soon as意为“一……
就……”,引导时间状语从句。suppose意
为“认为,料想,假定”,常用句型:
suppose + that-clause ;
suppose sb. (to be) + adj. / n.
4. So, to clarify, if I got married in the UK, I would expect a present, but if I got married in Italy, I would have to give a present. (P35)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在此句中,but连接两个并列的句子。if I got married in the UK是第一个分句的条件从句,I would expect a present是第一个
分句的主句;if I got married in Italy是第二个分句的条件状语从句,I would have to give a present是第二个分句的主句。
2) 语言知识分析:If ... did ..., ... would do ... 为虚拟条件句,表示与现在或将来事实不相符的假设。
5. If a man participates in a wedding reception in Brunei, he has to sit with the bridegroom and the other men. (P35)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在此句中,If a man participates in a wedding reception in Brunei是条件状语从句,he has to sit down with ... 是主句;在主句中,
with the bridegroom and the other men是介宾短语作状语,修饰sit。
2) 语言知识分析:participate in相当于take part in,后面常接名词或V-ing形式作宾语,意为“参加(某种活动)”。
6. Another thing is, should you come to Brunei, you would have to take off your shoes before going into someone’s house! (P35)
[分析] 1) 句子结构分析:在此句中,Another thing is是主句,should ... 是表语。should you come to Brunei是表语从句中的条件状语从句,you would have to take off …是表语从句中的主句。
2) 语言知识分析:should you come to Brunei相当于if you should come to Brunei,意为“你如果来Brunei的话”,表示与将来事实不相符的假设。
[拓展] 在虚拟语气条件状语从句中,当从句的谓语含有were / had / should时,可以将连接词if省略,并将were / had / should提前到句首。
