释义 | 〔putdown〕"Such answers were, perhaps still are, a . . . form of put-down to the questions of white people"(Lillian Hellman)“这样的回答曾经是,也许依然是,…对白人的诘难的蔑视”(莉莲·赫尔曼)〔carry〕still carrying a torch for an old sweetheart.依然痛苦地单恋着一位昔日的情人〔that〕The standard rule isthatthat should be used only to introduce a restrictive (or "defining") relative clause, which serves to identify the entity being talked about;in this useit should never be preceded by a comma.Thus, we sayThe house that Jack built has been torn down, where the clausethat Jack built tells which house was torn down, orI am looking for a book that is easy to read, wherethat is easy to read tells what kind of book is desired. Onlywhich is to be used with nonrestrictive (or "nondefining") clauses, which give additional information about an entity that has already been identified in the context;in this use,which is always preceded by a comma. Thus, we sayThe students in Chemistry 10 have been complaining about the textbook, which (not that ) is hard to follow. The clausewhich is hard to follow does not indicate which text is being complained about; even if it were omitted,we would know that the phrasethe textbook refers to the text in Chemistry 10. The use ofthat in nonrestrictive clauses like this, though once common in writing and still frequent in speech,is best avoided in formal style. ·Some grammarians have argued that symmetry requires thatwhich should be used only in nonrestrictive clauses, asthat is to be used only in restrictive clauses. Thus, they suggest that we should avoid sentences such asI need a book which will tell me all about city gardening, where the clausewhich will tell me all about city gardening indicates which sort of book is needed. Such use ofwhich is useful where two or more relative clauses are joined by and or or, as inIt is a philosophy in which the common man may find solace and which many have found reason to praise. Which is also preferred to introduce a restrictive relative clausewhen the preceding phrase itself contains athat, as inI can only give you that which I don't need (not that that I don't need ) or We want to assign only that book which will be most helpful (preferred tothat book that will be most helpful ). · That may be omitted in a relative clause when the subject of the clause is different from the referent of the phrase preceding the clause. Thus, we may say eitherthe book that I was reading or the book I was reading, where the subject of the clause (I ) is not the referent of the phrase the book. Omission ofthat in these cases has sometimes been described as incorrect, but the practice is extremely common and has ample precedent in reputable writing. ·There have also been occasional objections to the omission ofthat in its use to introduce a subordinate clause, as inI think we should try again. But this usage is entirely idiomatic and is in fact favored with some of the verb phrases that can introduce such clauses:thus, one would more normally write 标准规则中,that 应只被用于引导限定性(或“确定的”)关系从句, 这些从句用于明确正被谈论的实体;在这种情况下,前面决不能有逗号。因此,我们说杰克建的房子已经拆毁了 , 在这里,从句杰克所建的 指明哪幢房子被拆毁了, 或者我正在找一本易读的书 , 在这里,易读的 指明哪类书是需要的。 只有which 用于非限定性(或“不确定的”)从句中, 为已经在上下文中定义的实体提供附加信息;在此用法中,which 之前总有逗号。 因此,我们说化学10班的学生一直在抱怨这课本,实在 (不是 that ) 是太难懂了 。 从句which is hard to follow 并不指明哪一课本被抱怨; 即使它被省略,我们也知道the textbook 指化学10班的课本。 That 象这样用于非限定性从句中, 虽然在写作中曾很普遍而且在口语中依然频繁出现,但在正式文体中最好避免使用。一些语法学家认为对称性要求which 应只用于非限定性从句中, 就象that 只用于限定性从句中。 因此,他们建议我们应该避免诸如我需要一本关于城市园艺的书 这样的句子, 这里从句which will tell me all about city gardening 指明需要何种书。 当两个或多个关系从句被and 或 or 连接时, which 的这种用法很有用, 如是哲学使普通人找到慰藉并使许多人有理由去称颂。 Which 也用作引导限定性关系从句,在当前置短语中含有that 时, 如我只能给你我不需要的东西 (不是 that that I don't need )或 我们只想分发那本最用的书 (好于that book that will be most helpful )。 当从句主语与从句前短语所指不一致时,that 在关系从句中可以省略。 因此,我们可以说the book that I was reading 或者 the book I was reading 。 在这里,从句主语(I )和短语 the book 的主语不同。 在这些情况下,that 的省略有时被认为是错误的, 但是这在实际中极普遍而且在规范写作中有充分的先例。对于that 用于引导从句时被省略偶然持有异议, 如在我认为我们应该再试一次 中。 但这种用法完全符合语法而且实际上有一些引导这样从句的短语支持;因此,可以正常应用 〔thataway〕The history of the English language is full of examples of epenthesis,the addition to a word of a vowel or consonant not part of the original word.This process is still active in regional dialects.Two examples now used chiefly in Southern and Midland dialects arethisaway and thataway, which show epenthetic vowels intruding betweenthis way and that way. Another highly excoriated instance of vowel epenthesis,not regional, is the pronunciation ofathlete as (ăthʹə-lēt'). 英语的历史充满了增音的例子,即增加一个不是原词部分的元音或辅音词。这种现象在方言中依然很活跃。现在主要用于南部和中部方言的两个例子是thisaway 和 thataway , 它们显示了在this way 和 that way 之间插入的元音发音。 另一个备受非议的增加元音的例子,不是方言,而是athlete(运动员) 如(ath'□-let')的发音 〔hisself〕Speakers of some vernacular American dialects, particularly in the South, may use the possessive reflexive formhisself instead of himself (as in He cut hisself shaving ) and theirselves or theirself for themselves (as in They found theirselves alone ). These forms reflect the tendency of speakers of vernacular dialects to regularize irregular patterns found in the corresponding standard variety. In Standard English, the pattern of reflexive pronoun forms shows slightly irregular patterning; all forms but two are composed of the possessive form of the pronoun and -self or -selves, as in myself or ourselves. The exceptions are himself and themselves, which are formed by attaching the suffix -self/-selves to the object forms of he and they rather than their possessive forms. Speakers who use hisself and theirselves are smoothing out the pattern's inconsistencies by applying the same rule to all forms in the set.·A further regularization is the use of -self regardless of number, yielding the forms ourself and theirself. Using a singular form in a plural context may seem imprecise, but the plural meaning of ourself and theirself is made clear by the presence of the plural forms our- and their-. Hisself and theirselves have origins in British English and are still prevalent today in vernacular speech in England. 一些美国本土方言的使用者,尤其是美国南方人,可能会用所有格的反身代词形式hisself 代替 himself (如 He cut hisself shaving﹝刮脸时他割到自己﹞ )以及 theirselves 或 theirself 代替 themselves (如 They found theirselves alone﹝他们发觉自己很孤独﹞ )。这些形式反映出本土方言使用者试图规则化相应标准变化中的不规则模式。在标准英语中,反身代词模式显示出略微不规则模式的形成;除两个反身代词外,所有的反身代词都由代词的所有格形式加 -self 或 -selves 构成(如 myself 或 ourselves )。例外的就是 himself 和 themselves ,将后缀 -self/-selves 附加在 he 和 they 的宾格形式而不是所有格形式上形成。采用 hisself 和 theirselves 的本土方言使用者消除了将同一规则用于一组中所有形式时产生的模式矛盾。进一步的规则化是不考虑数量而全部使用 -self ,由此产生 ourself 和 theirself 。在复数上下文中使用单数形式似乎有失严谨,但 ourself 和 theirself 的复数含义已由复数形式的 our- 和 their-清楚表明。Hisself 和 theirselves 起源于英式英语并在英国本土语言中依然流行 〔smoke〕The station wagon smoked even after the tune-up.车站的机车即使在经过调试以后依然不停地冒烟〔manes〕(used with a sing. verb)The revered spirit of one who has died.(与单数动词连用)死者灵魂:死者依然存留的魂灵〔tontine〕An investment plan in which participants buy shares in a common fund and receive an annuity that increases every time a participant dies, with the entire fund going to the final survivor or to those who survive after a specified time.联合养老金制:一种集资办法,所有的参加者共同使用一笔基金,每当一个参股者死后,剩下的人得到一份增加的份额,最后一个活着的人或过了一定时间依然活着的人获得剩下的所有金额〔stand〕The old school still stands.那所古老的学校依然完好无损〔catalytic〕"Deregulation's catalytic power . . . is still reshaping the banking, communications, and transportation industries"(Ellyn E. Spragins)“解除管制的催化剂式的力量依然在重塑银行业、通讯业和交通运输业”(埃琳E.斯普莱金斯)〔which〕The antecedent ofwhich can sometimes be a sentence or clause, as opposed to a noun phrase,as inShe ignored him, which proved to be unwise. They swept the council elections,which could never have happened under the old rules. Such examples are unexceptionable,but care should be taken that this usage does not cause ambiguities.The sentenceIt emerged that Edna made the complaint, which surprised everybody may mean either that the complaint was surprising or that it was surprising that Edna made it. The ambiguity can be avoided with paraphrases such asIt emerged that Edna made the complaint, a revelation that surprised everybody. ? In its use to refer to the contents of sentences and clauses,which should be used only when it is preceded by its antecedent. When the antecedent follows,what should be used, particularly in formal style: Still, he has not said he will withdraw, which is more surprising but Still, what (not which ) is more surprising, he has not said he will withdraw. See Usage Note at that ,what ,whose which 的先行词有时可为一个句子或一个从句, 与名词短语相对立,如在句子她忽视了他,结果证明这是不明智的。 他们在委员会选举中一举获胜,这在旧体制下是永远不会发生的。 这样的例子是无懈可击的,但应该小心谨慎以使这种用法不致于引起模棱两可。句子It emerged that Edna made the complaint, which surprised everybody(埃德娜发出了使每个人都很吃惊的怨言) 既可以指怨气让人吃惊也可以指抱怨的是埃德娜而让人吃惊。 用例如It emerged that Edna made the complaint, a revelation that surprised everybody.(埃德娜大加抱怨,这发现让大家都很吃惊) 这样的句子就可以避免模棱两可。 在它被用来指句子或从句内容时,which 只用在先行词在其前面时。 当先行词跟在后面时,就应该用what ,特别是在正式文体中: Still, he has not said he will withdraw, which is more surprising(他依然还是没说他将退出,这更让人吃惊) 但另外一种形式 Still, what (不用 which ) is more surprising, he has not said he will withdraw.(然而,更让人吃惊的是他还是没说他将退出) 参见 that,what,whose〔pull〕To perform in spite of difficulties or obstacles; bring off:艰苦地完成:尽管有困难和障碍依然进行;完成,成功:〔ennui〕Were they alive today, users of Classical Latin might be surprised to find that centuries later a phrase of theirs would still survive,although in the form of a single word.The phrasemihi in odiō est (literally translated as "to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is"), meaning "I hate or dislike,” gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb.inodiāre, "to make odious,” the source of Modern Frenchennuyer, "to annoy, bore.” In the Old French period a noun meaning "worry, boredom,” came from the verbennuier. This noun in its Modern French formennui was borrowed into English in the sense "boredom,” the English word being first recorded in 1732.People may have needed a word for boredom in the polite, cultivated world of the 18th century,but at an earlier period, around 1275,we had already borrowed the French verbennuier, the source of our word annoy. One of the earliest instances ofannoy in English is, in fact, used in the sense "to bore an audience.” 要是古拉丁文的使用者们今天还活着的话,他们很可能会吃惊地发现数世纪之后他们所用的一个短语依然在使用中,尽管采用了单个词的形式。短语mihi in odioest (按字面可翻译成“在不喜欢或憎恨情形下对我而言的是”), 意思是“我恨或讨厌”生成了俗拉丁语动词inodiare, “使可憎”, 其又为现代法语ennuyer “使苦恼,使烦恼”的词源。 在古法语时期,一个意思是“焦虑、厌倦”的名词来源于动词ennuier 。 该名词的现代法语形式ennui 被引入英语中,意指“厌倦”, 该英语词于1732年被首次记载,在18世纪的讲究礼节、有修养的社会里人们很可能需要一个词来表达厌倦之意,但在更早的时期,大约在1275年,我们已经借入法语动词ennuier, 作为我们的单词 annoy 的来源。 annoy 在英语中最早的例子之一是它实际上是在“使观众厌倦”的意义上使用的 |
