文法(grammar)與句型(sentence patterns)
四、 副詞

全句(前、後述)
39) about/
approximately/ or so:
There are 40 boys or so in class. (班上大約有40 位男孩。)
or
so 大約adv.
片語,須置於數目詞之後; about
= around = approximately 則置於數目詞之前:
About 30
girls are joining the party. 約30 位女孩將參加晚會。
40) 修飾形容詞的副詞:
1. enough :通常置於其所修飾的
a. 原級
(形容詞或副詞) 之後:
He is wise ~ to know the
answer. 他聰明得知道答案。They
work hard ~.
他們夠努力。
*
My new mechanic, Andy, seems like a
nice ~ fellow. 我的新修車技師,安迪似乎是位很好的人。(= a fellow nice enough) 本句為口語英語- Colloquial
English
b. 比較級 (形容詞或副詞) 之前
注意:其他類似用法的副詞:even
far better 更好; even much
more important 更重要;so much
better 更好 still
more convinced 更明白;
She is enough cleverer than her classmates (她比其同學們聰明得多。)
41) Formalities are not necessarily
required to create an agency
relationship. (未必需要正式規定-繁文縟來創造一個代理的關係)。
not
necessarily (未必是)
, 乃一副詞慣用片語, 常接於 be 動詞 之後。
formal a. 正式的; formalities 繁文縟節; 正式規定
比較:not exactly 不完全是
42) Is there any more traffic on the bridge
than there is in the tunnel?
(橋上的交通量比隧道內多嗎?)
1. any adv. more a. 指量;any more + n.
(比…多)
用在疑問句,條件子
句或否定句中。
We don’t have any more request =We have no more request. 我們不再有請求。
2. not….anymore = no more 作”不再”解:
I cannot stand his
sarcastic remark anymore = I can stand his sarcastic
remark
no more.
我無法再忍受他的諷刺評議。
* 比較:
No more do
I see the starlight caress your hair. 我再也看不到星光吻著妳
的秀髮。(no
more 修飾see)
** 注意:
1. 若將上句之 no more 置於句末,則意思不明。
I see the starlight caress
your hair no more. (no more 是修飾 see ? 或caress?
)
2. no longer = not…. any
longer 亦作”不再”解,多半強調時間
a. anymore (adv.) = at present = from
now on = nowadays (目前; 今後)
I don’t drive to work ~. 今後我不開車上班。
b. no more 消失; 過世
i. Utah’s Lake Powell will soon be no more.
猶他州的鮑爾湖很快將消失。
(注:Lake
Powell = the Powell Lake)
ii. He is no more = He is dead. 尚有其他
** 「死亡」之表達法:
= He passed away. 他逝世了。
= He expired. 他斷氣了
= He breathed his last.
他吸了最後一口氣。
