a. 英文中兩個動詞同在一個句子時, 必須有連接詞連接, 否則為錯誤句構。但go和come以原形動詞出現時,則可將其後的連接詞and省略, 直接加另一個動詞。
例:They sing, dance happily day after day. (╳)
→They sing and dance happily day after day. (○)
(日復一日他們快樂地唱歌和跳舞。)
Please go and buy me a newspaper.
=Please go buy me a newspaper.
(請去幫我買一份報紙。)
When you have time, come and visit me.
=When you have time, come visit me.
(有時間的時候，請來看我。)
b. pay為動詞, 表『付 (錢)』的意思, 下列為常見的用法:
pay + 錢 + for + 物 付錢買某物
pay sb + 錢 + for... 為……付錢給某人
例:I will not pay one hundred dollars for the toy.
(我不會付一百塊買這個玩具。)
She pays me a lot of money for doing this work.
(她付我很多錢做這個工作。)
c. the airport tax 機場稅
d. first此處表『首先』之意, 可置於句首或句尾; 置於句首時可等於first of all,但置於句尾時, 則不可用first of all取代。亦即first of all只能置於句首。
例: A: What can I do to make my English better?
|
B: First,
First of all, |
you have to get a good dictionary. |
(甲：我要怎麼做才能使我的英文變好？)
(乙：首先，你必須要有一本好字典。) |
