❤️ 俐媽英文教室：Wild(那時候我只剩下勇敢)文法句型篇Part 1
✏️ The only thing I could think to do was turn my back to the van and squat...
➡️ 句型"All that/What... + S + do/does/did + is/was + (to) Vr"表「⋯所做的事就是⋯」，其中to均被省略，造成be動詞與原型動詞併放，且注意要使用單數動詞is/was。
✏️ The sight of the square concrete pool lifted my spirits enormously not only because at the springs there was water, but also because humans had so clearly constructed it.
➡️ 對等連接詞not only...but also...要連接詞性、結構相同的字/片語/子句，故文中兩個because為對稱。
✏️ I wanted neither to get back together with Paul nor to get divorced.
➡️ 同樣地，對等連接詞neither...nor...用法同not only...but also...，文中的to get back及to get divorced即為symmetry(對稱)。
✏️ ...use DEET or any other such brain-destroying, earth-polluting, or future-progeny-harming chemical.
➡️ 文中使用compound adjective(複合形容詞)，用法為：N/adj./adv.-Ving/Vpp，其中使用現在分詞Ving 表「主動」或過去分詞Vpp表「被動」由後面所修飾的名詞決定。文中化學物質chemical主動破壞腦部、汙染地球、傷害後代子孫，故均使用Ving形式。其中的連字符號"-"叫hyphen哦！
✏️ It turned out I wasn't able to keep my family together.
➡️ It turned out that + S + V表「結果是⋯」。
✏️ The heat was so intense that my memory of it is not so much a sensation...
➡️ so + adj./adv. + that + S + V表「如此⋯以致於⋯」，亦可強調intense而寫成倒裝句：So intense was the heat that my memory...。注意heat和intense可為collocation哦！
✏️ ...no matter how kindly his eyes twinkled when he smiled.
➡️ no matter + wh- = wh-ever表「不論⋯」，後面接副詞子句。文中的no matter how = however表「不論多麼⋯」，並不翻「然而」。
✏️ It was then that I spotted what I'd searched for days: mountain lion tracks.
➡️ It is/was + 強調部份(人、物、地、時) + that + S + V，此為強調句用法。別忘了俐媽的精典例句哦😝
祝週末愉快😉😉😉
then連接詞 在 [文法] and和then的疑問- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的八卦
大家好，想請問一下：
1.
pomelo noun
a large citrus fruit that has thick yellow skin and that tastes similar to a
grapefruit, but sweeter
上述的解釋裡的第二個that可以刪去嗎？成為：
a large citrus fruit that has thick yellow skin and tastes similar to a
grapefruit, but sweeter
原本裡面的and是連接兩個子句，那我是否可以換個角度思考，把那個and想成是連接
一個that子句中的兩個動詞就好，而刪去第二個that？
2.then這個詞蠻奇特的，辭典裡只給副詞、形容詞的詞性（也有辭典多給一個名詞），
但實際上好像常當連接詞用？例如：
朗文
Mix the flour and butter, then add the eggs.
Start off early, then you won’t have to rush.
牛津
He drank a glass of whisky, then another and then another.
劍橋
Let me finish this job, then we'll go.
Give her the letter to read, then she'll understand.
當然，「and then」這種正規的用法也很多，不過我好奇的是沒加「and」的情況。
另查到蘋果日報的專欄，作者認為這樣寫是錯誤的
