文法淺釋系列 (68)

文法(grammar)與句型(sentence patterns)

四、 副詞 (Adverb)：修飾：動詞、形容詞、另一副詞、

全句(前、後述)

43) although 與 though 均可當從屬連接詞= in spite of  (= despite) the fact that

+ 子句 (雖然)

 但，僅 though 可當副詞用，其用法等於however。不過在正式英語以

however為佳；though 仍限用於口語用法。例句：

He didn’t mind going to a basketball game, though, when his friends

were going.  (儘管當他朋友都要去看球賽時，他並不反對去)。

44) narrow a. 狹窄的

* narrowly adv. 僥倖地：

They ~ escaped from the disaster. 他們從大浩劫中僥倖逃出。

= They had a narrow escape from the disaster.

Gay marriage bill is narrowly approved by the state senate. 

(男性同性戀結婚法案僥倖被州參議院通過)。

比較：

*Ford lost the election by a narrow margin. 福特以小敗選輸。

*closely   adv. 密切的：

Watch me ~. 注意看著我。

They are ~ related to each other. 他們關係密切。

45) everywhere adv. 到處   = in (at) every place

somewhere adv. 在某處 = in (at) some place    

The sword must be kept somewhere in the room   這把劍一定放在房間的某處。

anywhere adv. 在任何地方 = in (at) any place        

nowhere adv. 在任何地方不 = in (at) no place   

* 以上四字均不可加 s

We looked everywhere, but the children were nowhere in sight; they could not be found anywhere.  (我們到處找；可是看不到小孩; 也找不到他們)。

46) Saying “Thanks a lot”, he left through the rear door.

(一邊說著 ：「很感謝」，他一邊從後門離開)。

 a lot 是一片語 = a great number or amount；在正式用法中避免使用 alot

因alot  不是一個字.

 *比較：a while / awhile          

  

 We have been here for a while.  (n. )

= We have been here awhile.我們來這兒好一會兒。(adv.)

 while (名詞) 指時間 ：例：once in a ~  偶爾 / for a ~ 暫時 / in a ~ 不久；

馬上 / all the ~ 自始至終 。

**   awhile (adv.) 其前面不可加介詞
