新概念4册-8 句子分析

Original text:

So, ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, why have two lots of tests where one would do?

问题1

Why have two test?

这句话的主语是什么?是不是应该是:why do they have two test?,

they = businesses on both sides of the Atlantic

完整的句子:Why do business on both sides of the Atlantic have two lots of tests?

问题2

why 后面直接接动词原形,我认为这是一个错误,这句话需要加一个 do

why not + 动词原形比较常见,但是 why + 动词原形,是不是故意省略了?

问题3

where one would do 是定语从句,通常应该修饰前面的地点名词,但是它之前的名词是 tests.

这句话是否是再次省略了地点? 我想完整的句子应该如下:

So, businesses on both sides of the Atlantic ask why (they) have two lots of tests (on the both sides of the Atlantic) where one (lot of test) would do?

谢谢!

  • why+不带to的不定式用于问句,其实就是省略了do you. 这是口语中很常用的句式。既可以是Why not do sth,?也可以是Why do sth.? 例如《韦氏高阶》例句:

    You deserve the best treatment. Why settle for less? [=you shouldn't be happy with anything less]

    “I'll try calling again.” “Why bother?” [=it's not worth the trouble]

     

    So, ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, why have two lots of tests where one would do?

    这个句子中的问句是一个自由直接引语,注意句末的问号。所谓自由直接引语指引语的引号省略了,但人称和时态以及问号保持不变。所以这里why后省略的还是do you, 而不是do they
