好久没来答疑网,最近看了曹老师的一些解答,很有收获,也很受启发,向曹老师学习!

下面我尝试着对回答曹老师出的考题,不妥或错误之处,请曹老师指正!

1. He made believe not to be aware of my presence.

本句关键是分析 made believe。英语中有些含有let和make的固定动词短语,前一个动词后面跟一个不带to的不定式,例如let fall (无意中说出),let go (放开),let slip (放走),live and let live (自己活也让别人活),make believe (假装),make do (凑合着用),这些表达在形式上和意义上都比较固定,通常被视为一个动词,原则上无需再细分。所以原句的 he 是主语,made believe是谓语,其后的不定式 not to be…是宾语。

2. A is to B as C is to D.

我个人认为:这里的 as 是连词,意为“恰像”“犹如”“好比”,意思是“A之于B,犹如C之于D。 A is to B 是主句,as C is to D 是由 as 引导的相似状语从句(有时从句前可以有个逗号)。例句如:

Three is to four as six is to eight. 三对四之比等于六对八之比。

Air is to man as water is to fish. 空气之于人犹如水之于鱼。

Water is to fish, as air is to men. 水之于鱼,犹如空气之于人。

这样用的 as 也可以换成 what。如:

Manure is to crops what food is to man. 肥料对于农作物,就如同食物对人一样。

Reading is to the mind what food is to the body. 读书与思想的关系就好比食物与健康的关系。

Engines are to machines what hearts are to animals. 发动机对机器之关系犹如心脏对动物之关系。

注:有人认为这样用的 as 是关系代词,相当于 that which。(个人不赞成这种分析)

同意唐老师的分析。make believe是一个固定的短语动词,后常接不定式或从句。

关于“A is to B as C is to D.”的句式,这里引用北大董桂枝教授《英语特殊表现法例解》上的解释供网友们参考:

Leaves are to the plant what lungs are to the animal.叶之于植物犹如肺之于动物。

Regulation is to a school what the law is to a nation.校规之于学校,犹如法律之于国家。

这个句型与下列句型相似,试比较:

① A is to B what X is to Y 

② A is to B as X is to Y 

③ As X is to Y, so is A to B 

④ What X is to Y, that is A to B

在①、②句型中,what和as都用作连接词,其后是从句,主句在前。①句型可译为“A之于B等于X之于Y”,其中what X is to Y是名词从句,是动词is的补语,动词is可以省去。②句型可译为“A之于B犹如X之于Y”。③、④句型与①、②句型相反,主句在后,从句在前。③句型可译为“正如X之于Y,A对于B也表示同一关系”。在④句型中,作为补语的名词从句放在句首,用that作同格词,这个that可省去。注意③、④句型的后半句,主语和动词的位置转换了。

其他类似的例子:

Air is to us as water is to fish. 空气对于我们,犹如水对于鱼一样重要。

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.读书对于思想,好比运动对于身体一样重要。

What the voyage of Columbus was to the world in the 15th century, the journey of the satellite, Lunik Ⅲ, might well be to the twentieth. 哥伦布的航行对于15世纪人们的意义,犹如3号月球卫星航行对于20世纪人们的意义一样。

As the house is to the man so is the nest to the bird and the cave to the animal

= The house is to the man what the nest is to the bird and cave to the animal.

= What the nest is to the bird and the cave to the animal so is the house to the man.

室之于人,犹巢之于鸟,穴之于兽。

Five is to seven what ten is to fourteen. 五与七之比等于十与十四之比。
