To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies.
【解析】句子主干為:To say ...oversimplifies 這個句子的難點就在于充當主語的是一個動詞不定式:To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example;且在這個不定式中出現(xiàn)了兩個并列的賓語從句作say的賓語,加大了理解的難度。The child learns by imitation 為第一個賓語從句,the way to teach is to set a good example 為第二個賓語從句。
【譯文】認為孩子學習是靠模仿,教育的方式就是樹立榜樣,這些說法都過于簡單了。
三、非謂語動詞作定語
在前面后置定語的講解中,都教授提到過,后置定語都可以改寫成一個定語從句,如:a woman picking the blackberry 可以改寫為a woman who is picking the blackberry。
四、非謂語動詞作狀語
1.由來
He reads carefully.
He forgets the time for lunch.
這兩個句子的特點是主語相同,把這兩個句子連成一個句子,則為Because he is reading carefully,he forgets the time for lunch .
為了簡潔,英語中出現(xiàn)了省略主語的情況,于是這個句子可寫成Reading carefully, he forgets the time for lunch.
在省略中,兩個句子的邏輯關系多樣,最常見的有伴隨、因果和條件,
如They stood by the roadside talking about the plan. 本句邏輯結構為伴隨
