【問】 請問,—No, I haven't. —Me neither. 對話中的Me neither. 是什么意思?能說成Me, too. 嗎?
(山東青島? ?謝? ?冰)
【答】 Me neither. 在此意為“我也沒去過”。不能用Me, too. 替換??赡苣阋呀?jīng)注意到了,Me neither.是順承前面的否定意思說下來的,其含義也是否定的;而Me, too.則是順承前面所提及的肯定情況說下來的,其含義同樣是肯定的。Me neither. 與Me, too.是一對相反的說法。如:
—I want to be an astronaut in the future. 我將來想成為一名宇航員。
—Me, too. 我也是。
—I don't like this kind of noodles. 我不喜歡這種面條。
—Me neither. 我也不喜歡。
【問】 請問,Most of us have probably heard of Mickey Mouse... 一句中的hear of和hear有什么不同?
(甘肅蘭州? ?馬? ?雙)
【答】 hear僅指聽的結果,意為“聽到,聽見”;hear of意為“聽說,得知(某人或某事)”。如:
Have you heard anything around you? 你聽到周圍有什么動靜嗎?
I have never heard of such a thing! 我還從未聽說過這樣的事情。
【問】 It's fun to learn another language. 是什么結構的句子?
(江蘇無錫? ?陳? ?瑤)
【答】 此句使用了“It's +名詞+to do sth.”結構,其中it為形式主語,代替后面真正的主語to do sth.,這樣可以避免句子頭重腳輕。如:
It's our duty to clean the classroom every day. 每天打掃教室是我們的責任。
【問】 我看到這樣一個句子:It was because I could speak English that I got the job. 請幫我分析一下句子結構好嗎?
(四川雅安? ?曹家瑋)
【答】此句是I got the job because I could speak English.的一種強調說法(強調原因狀語從句)?!癐t is +被強調部分+that+句子其它部分”這一結構可以強調句子中的不同部分(除謂語之外)。如:
He bought a dictionary last week.→
It was he that bought a dictionary last week. 是他上周買了一本字典。(強調主語)
It was a dictionary that he bought last week. 上周他買的是一本字典。(強調賓語)
【問】 請問:... all I ever wanted to do was travel... 和In fact, it's all I have ever wanted to be. 兩句中的all I ever wanted to do和all I have ever wanted to be怎么理解?
(內(nèi)蒙古包頭? ?魏丁一)
【答】兩句中的all后面都省略了定語從句的引導詞that, 其完整的說法分別是“... all that I ever wanted to do was travel.”和“... it's all that I have ever wanted to be.”。兩句的意思分別為“我想做的就是旅行”和“這就是我一直想從事的”。
