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)
26) 修飾形容詞的特殊副詞:
Left much
alone, I found it hard to spend the holiday. (孤伶伶一個人,我發覺難以度過這假日)。
1. Left much
alone,= (As I was) left much alone;leave + 人 + alone (讓…人獨處; 不去惹…) 註:alone作形容詞用,不可用very
alone.
2. 與
alike 同,應用 much 但,可以說:very lonely (lonesome) 很寂寞
比較:a. The two sisters look much alike.
b. The one look very like the other.
a. She is much afraid.
b. She is much frightened
c. It is a very frightening story.
27) all + n.
+ long = the whole +
n. 作adv. 片語用 :
Beautiful music is
played all weekend long. (整個週末都播放悅耳的音樂。)
all day long = the whole day 整天;all
weekend long = the
whole weekend整周末
但,「整年」須說 : all
the year round = the whole year= throughout
the year
28) simply
(絕對地; 非常地) adv. ; 原屬口語,
但現已用於written
English 中。
a. 用於肯定句時, 可置於動詞之前或後:
They ~ told us what had happened. 他們僅告訴我們已發生的事。
He is ~ being
fantastic. 他簡直太棒了。
S~ the best 絕對是上等貨。= Tbe bset or nothing. (賓士汽車廣告)
b.若用於否定句時, 則大都置於動詞或助動詞之前:
She ~ isn’t the
person we want. 她不是我們要的人。
He ~ didn’t
respond to my call. 他就是不回我電話。
We simply
cannot understand why he left so early. (我們簡直不懂他為何這麼早離開。)
*比較
~ ly + not 之常見之簡答句用法:
Will he settle down for less? 他會賣便宜一點嗎?
Certainly. 肯定會,~ not !
肯定不會 (但, not exactly 不完全是 = not precisely ) Of course. 當然會,~ not
! 當然不會; Absolutely. 絕對會
, ~ not !
絕對不會;Definitely 肯定會 ,~ not ! 肯定不會
