今日文章解讀:
People who live in Britain needn’t despair when they made mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)! Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog。 Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!
當英國人犯這種錯誤時,他們不必感到絕望(而許多國家的人都有這種絕望的感覺)。對英國人來說,值得慶幸的是英國銀行有一個殘鈔鑑別組,負責理那些把錢塞進機器或塞給狗的人提出的索賠要求。看起來,狗很喜歡咀嚼錢幣。
(1)need可分情態動詞和實義動詞
①need作情態動詞時,多用於疑問句和否定句中
You need tell no one。 你不必告訴別人。
②need作情態動詞,加完成式,可用於表示過去未實現的動作
She needn’t have gone to the club last week。 她上週其實不必去俱樂部。(實際去了)
③need作實義動詞
She didn’t need to go to the club last week。 她上週沒有必要去俱樂部。(實際確實沒有去)
④must的否定式為need not而不是must not
must表示需要做某事
need not表示不必需做某事
must not表示不準做某事
所以當我們問,我必須做某事嗎?我們一般回答,You need not。而不是You must not。
(2)句型分析
Fortunately for them, / the Bank of England has a team ( called Mutilated Ladies / which deals with claims from people) (who fed their money to a machine or to their dog)。
這個句子咋看有點長,但慢慢看,學會斷句,就能看出修飾關係,意思也就明瞭了。
the Bank of England has a team是主句。其他均為修飾。
a team (called Mutilated Ladies),修飾team。
a team called Mutilated Ladies / which deals with claims from people。
根據就近原則,可以看為which引導的定語從句修飾Mutilated Ladies。
people (who fed their money to a machine or to their dog)。
who引導的定義從句用來修飾people。
這樣句子就看清晰了是吧。
句子拆分的原則,首先是逗號,其次就是各種引導詞。看到長句子不要怕,學會拆分就能理解表達含義了。
(3)插入語
Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!
兩個逗號之間的內容為插入的內容,去掉不影響句子成分完整性。
Dogs love to chew up money! 完整的句子。這就是插入語。
之前的文章中講過很多次,不多講啦,可以回去看看。
