3、Idleness is the root of all evils.
4、He was ashamed to have made the mistake.(=He was ashamed that he had made the
mistake. =He was ashamed because he had made the mistake.)
除了上述例句外,英语中还有很多或易或难表达原因结构。我们在进行写作训练时候,不能满足于一知半解,要讲究书面语言正确性和准确性。比如,because是最常用引导原因从句连词,语气最强,表示直接原因,若because置于句首,后面主句不能再用so。用as引导原因从句语气较弱,所说明原因是附带,而since表示原因暗示着是稍加分析之后才能推断出来原因。
四、否定结构
考生病句
1、Some people think we needn't to worry about fresh water.
2、Nowadays many people don't like to go to the movies, too.
正确表达:
1、Some people think we needn't worry (或don't need to worry) about fresh water.
2、Nowadays many people don't like to go to the movies, either.
评议与分析:
例句1选自96年1月四级考生作文,例句2选自92年1月六级考生作文。例句1 错误在于该考生混淆了need作为情态动词和作为普通动词用法。need作为情态动词时,主要用于否定句,后面动词不带to, needn't worry,作we谓语。need作为实意动词时,可用于肯定句、否定句和疑问句,don't need to worry 中to worry作don't need宾语。例句2错误在于该考生混淆了too和either区别,这两个词都表示“也”意思,但是在英语中too, also只能用于肯定句,而either只能用于否定句。
