1, usually we picture that day as far in the future.
问 :far in the future是个固定搭配吗?far是什么词性?as是介词,为什么后可以用far in the future或说为什么后可以用far?
2.Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life.
问:does是强调?如果是,为什么does是放在整个句子前面,即放在主语前面?do/does表示强调时不是只强调谓语动词,然后就放在谓语动词前面吗?
3.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens.
问: so far as they were possible只要他们有可能。。。不明的是没见过so far as sb is/are possible。 虽然有so far as...possible但as后加的是副词或是形容词,这里怎么是后面加的是they are?
4.And after all it is with the common run of men that we writers have to deal.
(总之,作家要写的是普通人)
问:我知道这是强调句,但不明白的是为什么with要放在 the common run of men(普通人)的前面,不是应该放在deal 的后面吗?这个with可以这样提前的,好像没见过这个语法啊
5. discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos. (说明一下,原句是一个很长的句子,这里节选的是一个非谓语动词做伴随状语的分句。因为我认为前面剩下的分句不放在这里也没有影响到这个小分句的分析)(翻译:感受他如此强烈的同情心-即使对蜗牛也善待有加,发现他如此丰富的想象力-即使用零散的乐高玩具积木也能堆出太空飞船。:
问:so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails 和 so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos.是不是so... that句型?为什么that可以被省略?我上网搜过了That是不能被省略的吧?
6.最后一个,not...nor是不是完全等同于neither...nor?
The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom,
其中 not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom是不是等于=
neither fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom
非常感谢,但第四个问题还是有点不明白 .it is with the common run of men that we writers have to deal. 这个强调句中,既然deal=deal with,那是不是原句也等于it is the common run of men hat we writers have to deal .? 还有,语法规定可以在强调句中强调宾语时把动词+介词结构中的介词,也即本题中的with提前?怎么我觉得怪怪的,好像没见过这个用法?
追答在意思上deal和deal with同意,但在用法上,当有宾语出现时,要用deal with,如果使with 和名词连用,则是强调句型对介词短语进行强调,不足为奇。还有问题吗?
