主語謂語數(shù)一致,就近語法和意義
就近一致
故事:就近有一只貓和三百只老鼠在玩耍,在我看來,或者貓或者老鼠是要死的,可實(shí)際上,貓既沒有把老鼠吃掉,老鼠也沒有把貓整死,在長期的進(jìn)化中,不僅是貓而且老鼠也知道了友善,他們彼此和諧相處了。不是貓,而是老鼠認(rèn)為世界該變一變了。
譯文:There is a cat and three mice playing in the yard.
解析:there be 句子是倒裝結(jié)構(gòu),其中be的數(shù)的變化取決于最臨近的一個主語。例如:
Is there a banana and seven apples on the table?
譯文:In my view, either cat or mice are to die in the stuggle.
解析:either…or…或者…或者…,連接兩個主語時,謂語動詞的數(shù)隨就近的一個。例如:
Either he or I am to be responsible for the accident.
譯文:But , to my surprise, neither mice nor cat dies.
解析:neither…nor…既不…也不…,連接兩個主語時,謂語動詞的數(shù)隨就近的一個。例如:
Neither his parents nor he is interested in swimming.
譯文:In the long run, they have become friendly to each other. Not cat but mice believe the world should change.
解析:not…but….不是…而是…. ,連接兩個主語時,謂語動詞的數(shù)隨就近的一個。例如:
Neither the students nor the teacher runs away in the earthquake.
(符合就近原則的結(jié)構(gòu)有there be, not…but…, not only…but also…, or…or…, neither…nor…)
