文法解析 |

Part A |
1. |
Can I take a picture with the lion, Dad?
我可以和獅子照張相嗎, 老爸? |
take a picture with + 人/物 和某人/物拍照
take a picture of + 人/物 拍某人/物的照片
take a picture for + 人 替某人 (做) 拍照 (的工作)
例: May I take a picture with you?
(我可以和你拍一張照片嗎?)
I want to take a picture of these flowers.
(我要拍一張這些花的照片。)
Mister, can you take a picture for us?
(先生,可以請你為我們拍一張照片嗎?) |
2. |
But don't go too near the cage. 不過不要太靠近籠子。 |
= But don't go too close to the cage.
此處的near是介系詞, 即等於close to。
例: His house is near the school.
= His house is close to the school.
(他家離學校很近。) |
3. |
Are you ready? Say "Cheese!" 你準備好了嗎?說"Cheese"! |
a. ready是形容詞, 表『準備好的』, 有下列常見的用法:
be ready to + 原形動詞 準備好要……
be ready for + 名詞 為……準備妥當
例: Are you ready to go home?
(你準備好要回家了嗎?)
They are ready for the final exams.
(他們已為期末考準備妥當。)
b. cheese本是『乳酪、乾酪』之意, 但是此處Say "Cheese!"可不要譯成『說乳酪』。事實上這是照相時為取得笑容的用語, 因為說cheese這個字時, 嘴角向兩旁拉開, 看起來就像在笑一樣, 因此Say "Cheese!"真正的意思是要被照相的人微笑, 就像我們照相時會說『來, 笑一個。』的意思是一樣的。 |
4. |
That's a good one. 這張照得很棒。 |
"That's a good one."是表示讚許的話, 字面上的意思是『這個很不錯。』通常在他人說了一句好詞或一則好笑的笑話, 我們可以說"That's a good one."以示嘉許之意; 但依對話上下文判斷, 此處則是指被照相者 (兒子或女兒) 的微笑很甜, 洗出來一定是一張很棒的照片。 |
5. |
Lions are beautiful, aren't they? 獅子好漂亮喔,對不對? |
本句為標準的反問句。其原則為:
敘述句為肯定時, 接否定反問句;
敘述句為否定時, 接肯定反問句。
此外, 反問句的主詞一定為代名詞。
a. 敘述句有be動詞, 反問句沿用be動詞。
*此處"Lions are beautiful, aren't they?"即屬此種用法。
例: He is nice, isn't he?
(他人很好,不是嗎?)
You are not a student, are you?
(你不是學生,不是嗎?)
b. 敘述句有助動詞will, can, have等, 反問句沿用該助動詞。
例: She can dance, can't she?
(她會跳舞,不是嗎?)
You haven't done it, have you?
(你還沒有做那件事,不是嗎?)
c. 敘述句只有動詞, 反問句則使用助動詞do, does。
例: He gets up early, doesn't he?
(他很早起床,不是嗎?)
You like movies, don't you?
(你喜歡電影,不是嗎?)
d. 敘述句為命令句 (即原形動詞起首的句子) 時, 反問句一律用will you。
例: Come over here, will you?
(到這邊來,好嗎?)
Stop smoking, will you?
(不要再抽煙了,好嗎?)
e. 敘述句為Let's...開頭, 反問句一律用shall we。
例: Let's go home, shall we?
(咱們回家吧,好不好?) |
6. |
They sure are. After all, the lion is "king of the beasts." |
= They sure are beautiful. After all, the lion is "king of the beasts."
牠們的確漂亮。畢竟,獅子是『萬獸之王』啊。
a. 此處sure為副詞, 表『的確』, 等於surely。
b. After all, 主詞 + 動詞 畢竟,……
例: A: We can't give him too much work.
B: You're right. After all, he's just a new hand.
(甲:我們不能給他太多工作。)
(乙:你說的對;畢竟,他只是個新手。) |
