文法要點(18)

 

 

連接詞

 

英文的連接詞可分為對等連接詞(coordinate conjunction)從屬連接詞(subordinate conjunction)兩種,分別說明於後。

 

一、對等連接詞                                                        

 

對等連接詞共有七個:and、or、but、so、nor、yet、for。以下我們分三個層面來探討:對等連接詞的功能、複合主詞與動詞的一致,以及複合句的形成。

 

1.對等連接詞的功能

 

對等連接詞主要用來連接文法結構對等的字、片語或子句。請看例句:

a. He is young but experienced. (他年紀輕但是有經驗。)

b. Will you be at home or in the office this afternoon?(你今天下午會在家還是在辦公室?)

c. It was raining, so he decided not to go out. (因為下雨,所以他決定不出門。)

 

注意,對等連接詞可與其他字結合構成所謂的「相關連接詞組」(correlative conjunction)。相關連接詞組包括:both…and、either…or、neither…nor、whether…or、not only…but also。請看例句:

d. She wants both money and power. (金錢和權力她都想擁有。)

e. This potted plant can be put either inside the house or outside the house.(這株盆栽置於屋內或放在屋外皆可。)

f. Not only is he a writer, but he is also a painter. (他不僅是個作家,也是個畫家。)

注意,以Not only…but also連接子句時,Not only後的子句需要倒裝,而but與also則需分離

 

2.複合主詞與動詞的一致

 

以對等連接詞連接名詞作為主詞時,要注意這個複合主詞(compound subject)與動詞間的一致。請看以下分析說明。

Both…and或and連接時,接複數動詞

a. Both Zack and Greg were arrested for murder.(柴克和葛雷格兩個人都因犯謀殺罪遭逮捕。)

Either…or或Neither…nor連接時,動詞與接近動詞的名詞一致

b. Either you or he is to take the responsibility.(不是你就是他必須負起責任。)

Not only…but also連接時,動詞與第二個名詞一致

c. Not only you but also I am mistaken. (不但是你,我也弄錯了。)

另外,如果主詞是用as well as、together with、no less than等片詞來連接,則動詞應與前一個名詞一致

d. The teacher as well as his students was given the notice.(老師以及他的學生都有被告知。)

 

3.複合句的形成

 

對等連接詞重要的功能之一就是連接對等的子句,形成複合句(compound sentence)

 

對等連接詞and用來表「增添」(addition):

a. He took the examination, and he passed.(他參加了那項考試,而且通過了。)

對等連接詞or用來表「選擇」(choice):

b. You can come, or we will go over. (你可以來,或者我們過去。)

對等連接詞but用來表「對比」(contrast):

c. He is cautious, but his brother is reckless.(他很謹慎,但是他弟弟卻很輕率。)

對等連接詞so用來表「結果」(effect):

d. It's late, so I'd better hit the sack.(時間不早了,所以我最好上床睡覺去。)

對等連接詞nor用來表「否定」(negative):

e. I'm not thirsty, nor am I even hungry. (我不渴,我甚至都不餓。)

對等連接詞yet也用來表「對比」,但語氣比but強

f. He kept promising me to return my book, yet he never did.(他一直向我保證會把書還我,但是他根本沒還。)

對等連接詞for用來表「原因」(canse):

g. He must have been sick yesterday, for he did not come to work.(他昨天一定是生病了,因為他沒有來上班。)

 

二、從屬連接詞  

                                                      

英文從屬連接詞最主要的功能就是引導從屬子句(subordinate clause),與主要子句(main clause)構成所謂的複雜句(complex sentence)。從屬子句共有三種:名詞子句(noun clause)、形容詞子句(adjective clause),以及副詞子句(adverb clause)。以下分別介紹這三種子句與用來引導它們的從屬連接詞。

 

1.名詞子句

 

引導名詞子句的從屬連接詞有:that、who、what、which、when、where、why、how及whether名詞子句可以作主詞、受詞、補語及同位語。請看例句:

a. That he has been fired is true. / It is true that he has been fired.(他已經被炒魷魚這件事是千真萬確的。)

b. I know what they said to you. (我知道他們對你說了什麼。)

c. The fact is that we don't have enough capital.(事實是,我沒有足夠的資金。)

d. The question whether we would win was never asked.(我們會不會贏的問題根本沒有人問。)

 

2.形容詞子句

 

引導形容詞子句的從屬連接詞包括關係代名詞who、whom、whose、which、that和關係副詞when、where、why、how。請看例句:

a. We thanked the girl who found our dog.(我們向找到我們家狗的女孩道謝。)

b. I went back to the house in which I was born.(我回到我出生的那棟房子去。)

注意,b.句中的in which相當於where

c. I went back to the house where I was born.

 

3.副詞子句

 

副詞子句可分為:表「時間」(time)、表「地方」(place)、表「原因」或「理由」(cause or reason)、表「條件」(condition)、表「目的」(purpose)、表「結果」(result)、表「讓步」(concession)、表「方法」或「樣貌」(manner or appearance)、表「程度」或「範圍」(degree or extent),以及表「比較」(comparison)等十種。

 

表時間的子句

引導時間之子句的連接詞包括:when(ever)、while、as、since、until、before、after、once、as soon as、no sooner…than、hardly…when等。請看例句:

a. I'll clean the house while you cook. (你煮飯的時候,我會打掃房子。)

b. I had no sooner got to the airport than it began to snow.(我一到機場就開始下雪。)

注意,b.句的意思相當於:

c. As soon as I got to the airport, it began to snow

另,若將no sooner移置句首,則該子句須使用倒裝

d. No sooner had I got to the airport than it began to snow.

 

表地方的子句

引導表地方之子句的連接詞為where(ever)。請看例句:

e. Where there is no rain, farming is difficult.(在沒有雨水的地方,農耕很困難。)

f. The little dog follows Lisa wherever she goes.(不管莉莎去哪裡,那隻小狗總是跟著她。)

 

表原因或理由的子句

引導表原因或理由之子句的連接詞有:because、as、since、now that、seeing that、in that、on the ground that等。請看例句:

g. Now that you have finished the work, you can take a break.(既然你已經做完了工作,可以休息一下。)

h. Joe's application was rejected on the ground that he was not a member of the union. (喬的申請遭拒絕,理由是他不是工會的會員。)

 

表條件的子句

引導表條件之子句的連接詞有:if、unless、in case、if only、provided / providing(that)、as / so long as等。請看例句:

i. We will be able to go provided we can get a baby-sitter.(如果我們可以找到保姆,我們就能去。)

j. You can continue to live here as long as you pay the rent.(只要你付房租,你就可以繼續住在這裡。)

 

表目的的子句

引導表目的之子句的連接詞有:so that、in order that、lest、for fear that等。請看例句:

k. He works hard so that he can get the promotion.(他努力工作,目的是要獲得晉升。)

l. I ate as little as possible lest I throw up on the way.(我儘量少吃,以免路上會吐。)

注意,在lest子句中傳統上動詞前須加助動詞should,如今則多直接使用原形動詞。

 

表結果的子句

引導表結果之子句的連接詞有so…that和such (a)…that。請看例句:

m. He was so generous that he gave all his money to charities.(他非常慷慨,把所有的錢都捐給了慈善機構。)

多益衝刺03.gif

這篇主講是考試,因為在多益準備當中,最好努力的就是看作答方式,若要抓題目方向,看看別人的作答方式和技巧吧,有擔心的小問題其實網路上都有解答,不用著太擔心。接下來開始吧。

 

答案卷是圖圓圈的

第一面, 考官會帶大家填資料,填一些姓名、生日、準考證號碼、試題本號碼、工作、學歷、學習英文的問卷...之類的,最後一項問題是,要你重複把上面的字抄一次(同意考試規則,本人應考...etc)

然後畫押簽名,下面就是兩百題,左邊一百是聽力, 右邊一百是閱讀,試題本是用貼紙貼起來的,這時候還不能開,等到時間到,考官要大家把試題本打開。

 

多益考試04.jpg

 

考前心理建設

 

不要花時間猶豫,馬上隨便選一個,把握下一題。

 

 

看圖片: 黑白的圖片,還蠻遜的,有時候認不出旁邊的東西,不過不要太在意,這部份蠻簡單的,不過要聽完,因為有陷阱,我旁邊的人聽到A就畫了,結果答案是 C,就看他在那邊擦,這樣反而浪費時間。

聽寫: 這部份沒有題目答案可看,只要不恍神,應該是沒問題的。p.s.不恍神真的很難,尤其是一早就要趕車應考。問題的第一個字很重要,我就漏掉很多第一個字,像是when、where、how、what、who。

問答: 這部份的技巧就是,要先看下一題,因為他給你畫卡的時間不是很夠用。

長問答: 這部份是一次要先看兩題或三題,如果沒看完,已經開始講了,你一定要專心聽,不然就跟我一樣犯錯,沒聽到,答案也不知道要選什麼。

 

考完聽力, 不能再翻回去看 聽力測驗主要還是要專心, 沒吃東西就去考試, 應該不太好。

 

 

閱讀測驗單字: 這部份是把一些長的相類似、意思類似或是詞性變化放在選項裡,不會也只能猜,我很後悔在這上面花了不值得的時間。

選錯: 本來以為這一項是我的罩門,不過這次真是太簡單了,不外乎是一些基本的文法。

閱讀: 我有三大題沒時間看,所以就直接看答案,猜解答了,如果能把第一項的時間拿來這邊用,應該是遊刃有餘,考官會提示還有多久時間,其實剩五分鐘,還有三篇沒寫完,我的心就開始亂了,但事實上應該有機會看完。所以在答題方面,先大概算一下有可能比較花時間的題目,會比較有心理準備。

有人說閱讀測驗先做,之後再回來做前面的題目,我覺得這樣不妥耶...因為你要花時間看完文章,才開始作答,你做了10題,也許別人已經做了30題了,到最後手忙腳亂畫卡,反而會有不良影響。

時間的掌握 超 級 重 要 !!!

沒時間考慮也沒時間再把題目看第二次。聽力的部分盡量在下一題開始講之前,就把題目掃過一遍才抓的住重點。第二部分也是,一直寫一直寫都不停也不要考慮的寫下去,看過一遍猜出來的答案總比到後來沒時間隨便亂猜來的好。第一次考其實是去看場地的,尤其是考前一週呈狂加班狀態.只在考試前一天花了2個小時再把longman那本翻一遍.應該要再多做一些模擬試題,加強看題目的速度。

 

 

到這邊結束,不曉得大家有沒有吸收呢?考試只是一個數字的結果,但是要花錢的,希望都可以拿到理想的旦不浪費錢的好成績。

考量測驗趨勢,逼真收錄美、加、英、澳口音,平常練習熟悉不同口音,有助於舒緩臨場聽不懂題目的窘境。

 

 

同場加映-多益口說與寫作技巧

 

第一部分的造句題

要注意的是不用太著重內容,只要「文法都對」和「有用出題目指定的單字」就可以了!不必特別想要寫出一個厲害的句子,以免出錯。

 

第二部份的回覆書信題

其實都是滿實用的題目,例如你常去的一家健身房希望你給予他們三個建議,你就可以回答冷氣需要修理或是能不能添購一些新的運動器材之類的,這一部份要發揮一下想像力,因為有時三個建議有點湊不出來XD


第三部份要寫一篇作文

這部分規定要寫300字以上,我考試時有寫到400個字,分成四段第一段寫這個題目我支持或不支持,然後寫出其它人可能有不同意見的原因第二、第三段就分別寫出兩個原因。第四段總結大概就是把第二、第三段所講的原因換一個方式寫這樣要注意的是同樣的單字盡量不要重複,也要多利用轉折語,例如however、therefore等等,所以這部份要練習可能就是要多多加強單字了,一些片語和句型也可以多背,這一點可以好好利用知英文化的多益口說&寫作大破解,裡面的句型都很實用。

文法要點(17)

 

     多益分數-13.jpg  

 

(前情提要)

 

副詞

 

與形容詞相似,副詞功能在於修飾或限定,但是副詞修飾或限定的對象主要是動詞、形容詞和其他副詞。以下我們將分五個層次來討論英文的副詞:1.副詞的種類;2.副詞的功能與位置;3.副詞的比較形式;4.須注意的副詞;5.副詞的額外功能。

 

(接續上篇)                                      

 

五、副詞的額外功能               

                 

前面提到一般副詞原則上作為動詞、形容詞或其他副詞的修飾語,但是有一些一般副詞卻具有其他額外的功能。副詞的額外功能有二:其一是用來修飾全句;其二是用來限定名詞。我們先看第一種情況。

 

請比較下列兩句話:

a. He did not accept their offer happily.(他並沒有很高興地接受他們的提議。)

b. Happily, he did not accept their offer. (令人高興的是,他並沒有接受他們的提議。)

在a. 句中happily 用來修飾動詞 (did not) accept;b. 句中的happily則是用來修飾全句,表達說話者對整件事的評論或看法。(注意兩句話的意思並不相同。)我們再看幾個包括修飾全句之副詞的例子:

c. Frankly, I don’t think your chances are very good. (坦白說,我認為你的機會並不大。)

d. Naturally, you will want to discuss this with your lawyer first. (自然地,你會想先和你的律師討論這件事。)

e. Obviously, you don’t like Japanese food. (很明顯,你並不喜歡日本料理。)

 

接下來我們看副詞限定名詞的情況。

常用來限定名詞的副詞有:even、too、there、quite、almost等。請看例句:

f. Even a child knows how the answer to that question.(連小孩都知道那個問題的答案。)

g. Dennis too wanted to go to the concert.(丹尼斯也想去聽演唱會。)

h. The people there are very nice.(那邊的人都很好。)

i. James is quite a gentleman.(詹姆士相當地紳士)

j. It’s almost time to leave.(差不多是動身的時候了。)
