嘉中 先做一道题: We can observe small things clearly under a microscope because it can make them appear larger than ________. A) really they are B) they are really C) are they really D) they really are
题意是:我们可以在显微镜下清楚地观察细小的事物,因为它可以使它们看起来比实际要大。 这道题测副词 really 应该置于be 动词之前还是之后。答案在 B 和 D之间,也就是选 are really 还是选 really are。 副词通常置于系动词 be 的后面,例如:They are really my friends. 他们真是我的朋友。 如果要强调也可以放在be的前面,They really are my friends. 但如果系动词 be 后面没有 接句中成分,则副词习惯置于系动词 be 的前面。所以上题正确答案是 D。 例句: It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. 长大,成为真正的自己,是需要很大勇气的。 No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did he would cease to be an artist. 比起你的名誉你应该更在乎你的品格,因为你的品格才是真正的你,而你的名誉只是别人眼中 的你。 ——约翰 · 伍登 Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. 伟大的艺术家所看到的,从来都不是世界的本来面目。一旦他看透了,他就不再是艺术家。 Thelma's always moaning about something, and forgets how lucky she actually is. 西尔玛总是抱怨一些事情, 忘掉了她自己其实是多么的幸运。 |
