最近在看一本叫做element of style的语法书,是Cornell University ...
我刚才看了一下你说的那本书,觉得他说的情况--Put statements in positive form,Use the active voice ,In summaries, keep to one tense ,. Place the emphatic words of a sentence at the end
当然用它作为写作的语法指导是很恰当的,书的前言说的下边这句话是很中肯的
Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer.
Enkylios兄,好久没来了~这里再贴一个正确句子请教下
At the turn of the twentieth century, forest covered as much as 90 percent of Thailand and accommodated as many as 300,000 elephants, a third of them domesticated and performing various essential tasks.
在这里的 a third of them...算是什么结构?是同位语吗?
同位语不应该是与之前的成分相同的吗?
The Federalist papers, a strong defense of the United States Constitution as well as an important body of work in political science, represent the handiwork of three different authors.
总感觉似a third of which会更好些。A third of which 和 a third of them这里表达上又会有什么不同吗?
According to entomologists, single locusts are quiet creatures, but when locusts are placed with others of their species, they become excited, change color, vibrate, and even hum.
A. when locusts are placed with others of their species,
E. placed with others of their species, then
还有个问题,这个帖子看见别人争执不断,Enkylios觉得A中这个when可以省吗?
