我觉得essentail就是看他的内容是不是影响句子的主要意思,因为由两个逗号隔开的成分,应该可以从句子中拿去而不影响整体要表达的意思。 OG解释中有很多次提到这个,你可以去翻翻 -- by 会员 keith139 (2010/6/11 21:16:56)
谢谢楼上,不过我的意思是在不知道该不该有逗号的前提下,如何判断这个句子的essential的程度,比如上面的例子: Note that if the participial phrase is essential to the meaning of the sentence, no commas should be used:
The student earning the highest grade point average will receive a special award. The guy wearing the chicken costume is my cousin. 如果在红色的字前后加逗号, The student, earning the highest grade point average ,will receive a special award. The guy ,wearing the chicken costume, is my cousin. 也通顺的呀 不知道是不是钻牛角尖了。。努力翻OG中.... |
