小米的隨筆

所謂表示否定目的，就是指：為了避免某種情況，所以做什麼事情(=做某件事情以避免某種狀況)

句型如下：

S + V + { lest + S + should...}

S + V + { for fear (that) + S + should...}

S + V + in case + S + V...   以防(某種可能狀況)

註記：lest = for fear(that)=in case

Mary turned away from her boyfriend lest he should see her tears .

=Mary turned away from her boyfriend so that he might not see her tears.

久為的更新...

今天介紹兩個表目的的用法

1.表肯定目的的副詞子句(為了.....原因做什麼事情，或是指做了什麼事情以便可以.......)

S+V......{ so that           }  +S+ may/can + V...

               { in order that   }

2.表目的的不定詞片語

S+V...{ in order to +V

           so as to +V

表讓步的副詞子句第三篇

無論A或B，不管是A或者B

Whether A or B , S + V

說明：這個句型表達的是，不管A情形或者B情形，事情都會怎樣怎樣發生

通常A跟B詞類相同但意思相反

例句1. 無論醒著或睡著，這個問題一直縈繞心中

Whether I am asleep or awake , the question is always in my mind.

=Asleep or awake , the question is always in my mind.

當A跟B詞性相同意義相反時，可省略Whether I am 等其他部分

例句2. 無論他來不來，會議照常舉行

表示讓步的副詞子句第二篇

無論.../不管...

句型架構：WH疑問詞 ever + S + V...,S + V... = No matter wh疑問詞 + S + V , S + V...

例句1.

無論他做什麼事，他總是盡最大努力做好

Whatever he does , he tries his best to do it well.

=No matter what he does , he tries his best to do it well.

可用的WH疑問詞有 whatever=no matter what ,  whenever =no matter when , wherever=no matter where , whoever=no matter who 

例句2.

無論一個人多有錢，都不該因此驕傲

讓步的副詞子句

表示→雖然/儘管...，但是/卻

Although + (副詞子句 S + V ) , S + V 雖然...卻... 

though + (副詞子句 S + V ) , S + V 雖然...卻...

though比較口語，也比較常用，但較不正式

兩者都可以放在句首、句中，當作附屬連接詞使用

另外，though可以當副詞使用(意思是：不過、可是、然而)，此時就能放到句中與句末，不可以放句首喔！

而although就沒有這種用法

例如

He's a bad manager. There's no reason, though, to dismiss him. (他是個差勁的經理，但沒有理由因此將他免職)由兩個逗點隔開！

副詞子句有非常多種

第一種是表示原因的副詞子句

(1)S1 + V1 + because + S2 + V2 =Because S2 + V2 , S1 + V1 = S2 + V2 , so S1 + V1

(2)Since S1 + V1 , S2 + V2 = As S1 + V1 , S2 + V2  ((因為...

He was absent from school yesterday because he was sick.

=Because he was sick , he was absent from school yesterday.

=He was sick yesterday , so he was absent from school. 

兩個子句只需要一個連接詞，be absent from 缺席

   Mr.Hill went home empty-handed(兩手空空的) because the grocery store was closed.

=Because the grocery store was closed, Mr.Hill went home empty-handed.
