365. Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to evacuate the sick and the disabled.
同时,新奥尔良的官员已经精心制订了一项计划——使用公共汽车和火车来疏散病人和残疾人。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是...New Orleans officials have crafted a plan...。to use buses and trains to evacuate the sick and the disabled是由不定式引导的目的状语。craft作动词,意为“精心制作”。evacuate意为“疏散,撤离”。“the+形容词”表示“一类人或一类事物”;当表示人时,泛指某一类人,作复数用。the sick指“病人”;the disabled指“残疾人”。
英语六级考点归纳:
动词不定式是由“to+动词原形”构成,为非谓语动词,在句中可作主语、表语、宾语、补语和状语。不定式作状语时主要表目的和原因,区分两者时应注意:
不定式作目的状语时,其表示的动作发生于谓语动词的动作之后;而不定式作原因状语时,其表示的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前。如:
1) She studied hard to apply for the scholarship.为了申请奖学金,她努力学习。
(目的状语,apply for the scholarship在studied hard之后)
2) She studied hard to hear the encouraging words from her teacher.她由于得到了老师的鼓励而好好学习
(原因状语,hear the encouraging words from her teacher先于studied hard)
不定式作目的状语时,前面可以加上in order或so as;而原因状语则不能。如:
1) The govemment made policies to prevent air pollution.政府制定政策以防治大气污染。
(目的状语,to prevent可用in order to prevent盛so as to preventt弋替)
2) The govemment made policies to hear advice from environmental experts.政府听取环境专家的意见,制订了政策。
(原因状语,to hear advice from environmental expertsu不能加in order或so as)
