今天,我们继续第三课《分手了!》的学习。从今天开始,我们来咬文嚼字,分析这一课中对话每一个句子的语法现象。
1. She busted him when she walked into their bedroom and found him with some tramp.
解析1:这是一个含有时间状语从句的符合句。主句是“she busted him”,从句是“when she walked into their bedroom and found him with some tramp”,when是时间副词,表示时间。
解析2:“She walked into their bedroom and found him with some tramp.”中的“and”是连词,在这里表示“结果”,用中文说则是:结果是,就。例如:
Miss another class and you will fail in the exam. 在缺一次课,你考试就会不及格。
解析3:“She walked into their bedroom and found him with some tramp.”中的“found him with some tramp”这个结构是find+宾语+介词短语,表示“发现某人做某事”。这个介词短语“with some tramp”是做宾语的补足语,补充说明某人在做什么事情。
2. Jane must have been so upset.
解析:这个句子使用了虚拟语气。“must have been so upset”是“must have done something”这个结构,它用于表示对过去发生的事情的非常肯定的猜测。在对话中,Jennifer非常肯定地猜想到Jane因为发现Mike与外人有染的事情而心烦。再如:
It must have been a valuable experience. 那准是有价值的所见所闻了。
Something must have gone amiss, so he's not here to meet us. 准是出了什和差错,他没来这里接我们。
解析2:upset是形容词,表示“因为某事而烦心”,介词用“at”。例如:
He was upset at not being invited. 人家没邀请他,他很不痛快。
