字詞句型分析

1.I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz when an old friend I happened to see.

a.本句正常的寫(xiě)法應(yīng)為:

I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz when I happened to see an old friend of mine.

我正和我的愛(ài)人隨著田納西華爾滋起舞時(shí)，碰巧遇見(jiàn)了一位老友。

本句使用了下列句型:

主詞 + was + Ving + when引導(dǎo)的過(guò)去式子句 were 正在……就……

例:I was enjoying my ice cream when Peter came in.

(我正在享受冰淇淋時(shí)，彼得就進(jìn)來(lái)了。)

b.dance to the music/the song/the beat　　隨著音樂(lè)/歌曲/拍子起舞

例:I love this song very much, Peter. Shall we dance to it?

(我愛(ài)死這首歌了，彼得。我們隨著它跳舞好嗎?)

2.I lost my little darling the night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

句型分析:

a. 為主要子句。

b. 為副詞子句。

上列b句原為on the night when...(在……的那晚)。但介系詞on及關(guān)系副詞when習(xí)慣上予以省略, 故定冠詞the加上時(shí)間名詞可視為副詞連接詞。

例:The day he visited Dr. Lee, it was pouring.

(他拜訪李博士那天正下著大雨。)

The day系由On the day when (在……的那一天) 化簡(jiǎn)而成。

例:The moment I took Marys picture, she fell to the ground unconscious.

(在我為瑪麗拍照的那一瞬間，她昏倒了。)

*The moment系由At the moment when (在……的那一刻) 化簡(jiǎn)而成。
