👆 點擊每個句型標題,展開「公式 + 例句 + 常見錯誤 + 學測重點」。
句型一|關係代名詞 that / which / who▼
先行詞(物) + that / which + 不完整子句
先行詞(人) + that / who + 不完整子句
(先行詞前有逗號 → 只能用 which / who,不可用 that)
關係代名詞代替先行詞、引導形容詞子句,是本課高頻考點。
Sniffer dogs use their keen sense of smell to detect items
that are hidden.
嗅探犬用敏銳嗅覺偵測被藏起來的物品。
Maria Tello,
who was a woman with diabetes, was asleep.
患糖尿病的 Maria Tello 當時正睡著。(who 補述用法)
逗號後不可用 that:✗ Maria, that was..., ✓ Maria, who was...。
學測常考 that / which 選擇,以及「逗號+which/who」補述用法。
句型二|被動語態 be + p.p.▼
主詞 + be 動詞 + 過去分詞 (p.p.) + (by ...)
現在完成被動:have/has been + p.p.
當主詞是「動作的承受者」時用被動。本課大量出現。
Some dogs
are specially trained to become sniffer dogs.
有些狗被特別訓練成嗅探犬。
They
have also
been trained to predict diseases.
牠們也已被訓練來預測疾病。(現在完成被動)
✗ Sniffer dogs are assign to duties.(assign 要用過去分詞 assigned)。
學測常考主動 vs. 被動判斷;expose、assign、infect 等後常接被動。
句型三|due to / because of vs. because▼
due to / because of + 名詞(片語)
because + 主詞 + 動詞(子句)
最愛被混淆的考點:後面接名詞還是子句,決定用哪個。
Due to their keen sense of smell, the dogs can detect trees.
由於敏銳的嗅覺,這些狗能偵測到樹。(+名詞片語)
Because their sense of smell is keen, the dogs can detect trees.
因為嗅覺敏銳,這些狗能偵測到樹。(+子句)
✗ Due to the dogs are keen...(due to 後不可接子句);✗ Because their keen smell(because 後要接完整子句)。
學測與段考皆高頻:due to / because of / owing to(+N)↔ because(+S+V)。
句型四|It turned out that... / 虛主詞 It▼
It turned out that + S + V(結果證明……)
It + be + adj. + that / to V(虛主詞代替真主詞)
It 當虛主詞、代替後方真正的主詞(that 子句或不定詞)。
It turned out that Malachi saved Maria's life four more times.
結果證明 Malachi 又救了 Maria 四次。
It is amazing
that dogs can smell diseases.
狗能聞出疾病,真是驚人。
✗ That Malachi saved her turned out.(別把冗長 that 子句直接當主詞,用 It 代替)。
turn out (to be) + adj./N 也常考:The performance turned out great.
句型五|時間/條件副詞子句:once / until / as▼
Once S + V, S + V.(一旦……就……)
S + V until S + V.(直到……為止)
As S + V, S + V.(隨著……)
這些連接詞後接完整子句,本課三者皆出現。
Once their training is complete, sniffer dogs are assigned duties.
一旦訓練完成,嗅探犬就被分派任務。
They sit down beside it
until their trainer hands them a treat.
牠們坐在樹旁,直到訓練員遞給牠們零食。
As we continue to understand them better, they can help us more.
隨著我們更了解牠們,牠們就能更幫助我們。
學測常考 once / until / as / when / while 辨析;as 可表「隨著、當、因為」。
