第一篇:李笑來講英文書面比較句的寫法
李笑來講英文書面比較句的寫法
一提到比較句,我們馬上能夠想到的當(dāng)然是
more/less… than… as… as
首先要搞清楚的是詞性問題?!癿ore/less”以及“as… as”中的第一個“as”是副詞,那than和“as… as”中的第二個“as”是什么詞性呢?在書面比較句中,它們的詞性是“并列連詞”(conj.)。
口語中,我們可以直接說“A is more beautiful than B.”這時候,“than”可以被理解為介詞,而后面接的是代詞的賓格(“B”作介詞“than”的賓語)。但是,同樣意思的書面比較句應(yīng)該這么寫:
A is more beautiful than B is.其實這句話是兩個句子并列 之后組成的:
A is beautiful.B is beautiful.而后并列連詞“than”放在“B”之前,副詞“more”放在第一句話的“beautiful”之前,于是,我們得到這樣一個句子:
A is more beautiful than B is beautiful.又由于并列的兩個句子中,第二個句子可以省略與第一個句子相同的部分,于是,最后一個“beautiful”被省略掉,最終就得到了我們剛剛看到的那個句子:
A is more beautiful than B is beautiful.>>> A is more beautiful than B is.當(dāng)然,如果把第二個句子的“is”也省略掉,形式上來看就與口語中的表達(dá)法沒有區(qū)別;但顯然,在書面比較句中,“B”是主格而不是賓格。
重點1:書面比較句其實是一種特殊的并列句。
重點2:書面比較句第二個句子中的謂語動詞建議不要省略。
為什么要寫成“A is more beautiful than B.”呢?在上一節(jié)中,為了避免節(jié)外生枝,用“A”和“B”替代了比較雙方,因為“B”的主格是“B”,賓格還是“B”,沒有區(qū)別。如果我們要表示“她比我更漂亮”的話,那么這個比較句將由兩個句子并列構(gòu)成: She is beautiful.I am beautiful.由并列連詞“than”并列起來之后變成: She is more beautiful than I am beautiful.并列句中能夠省略的是相同的部分,而第二個句子的系動詞是“am”,與第一個句子的系動詞“is”是不同的,不能省略。
另外一個例子可以用來說明“第二個句子中的謂語動詞建議不要省略”是為了避免歧義。比如說,我想表達(dá)這樣一個意思的句子:我喜歡她;你也喜歡她;可是我比你更喜歡她…… I like her.You like her.>>> I like her more than you like her.而后把相同的部分全都去掉,就變成:
I like her more than you.歧義就出現(xiàn)了,因為“you”既可能是主格也可能是賓格。不要以為“you”特殊,事實上,英文中所有的實義名詞都是“主格”與“賓格”相同的。
那應(yīng)該怎么辦呢?應(yīng)該寫成這樣:
I like her more than you like.>>> I like her more than you do.重點3: 第二個句子中的謂語動詞如果不是系動詞,則可以使用“do”的恰當(dāng)時態(tài)替換。
重點4: 第二個句子的謂語動詞可以倒裝。
以下是三個TOEFL閱讀文章中出現(xiàn)過的幾個例子:
? ? ? Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion.The common kestrel nests in larger flocks than does the lesser kestrel.This immunity has been followed by a relaxation of the defenses, and kittiwakes do not react to predators nearly as fiercely as do ground-nesting gulls.重點5:一般來說,相互比較的兩個對象應(yīng)該1)屬于同一范疇;2)擁有相同屬性。
我們可以說“蘋果比桔子好吃”,但很難比較“蘋果”與“襪子”。如果兩個對象不屬于同一范疇,即便他們(它們)擁有相同的屬性,比較起來也沒有意義,我們沒多大可能說:
He is bigger than a chair.(盡管人有大小,椅子也有大小……)
不過,英文的比較句允許比較同一事物的兩種不同的屬性。既然是同一事物,當(dāng)然屬于同一范疇;而另外一方面我們無法比較(也沒必要)“同一事物的同一屬性”: My eyes are bigger than my eyes.以下是一個在幾乎所有的語法書中都可以找得到的句子: A is as smart as beautiful.先看看這句話是怎么“炮制”出來的:
A is smart.A is beautiful.>>> A is as smart as A is beautiful.當(dāng)然這句話還可以寫成:A is as smart as she is beautiful.(代詞替換)
這句話通常被錯誤地翻譯為“A既漂亮又聰明”。
其實這句話本身并沒有說明A究竟有多么聰明,說的只是“A聰明的程度與她漂亮的程度一樣”。在不知道A有多么漂亮之前,我們僅通過這個句子沒辦法確定A有多么聰明。
? ? 如果前文中已經(jīng)告訴我們A非常漂亮,那么我們可以通過這個句子得知:“A(那么漂亮,竟然也)那么聰明!”
如果前文中提供的信息告訴我們A的漂亮程度只不過是“相貌平平”,那么這個句子告訴我們的是“A(其實)智商平平”。
所以說,“A is as smart as beautiful.”如果翻譯成“她有多漂亮就有多聰明”應(yīng)該更準(zhǔn)確一些。
重點6:比較句是依賴上下文的。
比較句中的第二個句子所提供的應(yīng)該是“已知信息”(Known Information),而第一個句子提供的是“新的信息”(New Information)。
重點7:比較句中的第二個句子是“參照系”。
如果有人突然說,“李笑來現(xiàn)在聰明多了”——那他的言外之意是“過去李笑來是個大笨蛋?!?/p>
我們看到 “A is as smart as beautiful.”的意思并不是“A既聰明又漂亮”,而是“A聰明的程度與她漂亮的程度一樣”。那么“A is as stupid as beautiful.”的意思就很容易理解了:“A愚蠢的程度與她漂亮的程度一樣”。
有了以上的認(rèn)識,類似以下的句子(這是一道GRE ISSUE作文題目)也很容易理解: Competition is ultimately more beneficial than detrimental to society.現(xiàn)在,我想表達(dá)這樣的想法:計算機(jī)(操作起來)很復(fù)雜,計算機(jī)也很有用,可是(我想抱怨)計算機(jī)并不像它那么復(fù)雜地那么有用……(要是復(fù)雜程度和有用的程度一致,我們作為用戶有時也就可能認(rèn)了—— 凡事兒都有代價么;但是,它那么復(fù)雜,卻沒那么有用的時候,我們就變得很不耐煩了——比如Microsoft的新版操作系統(tǒng)Vista就是很令人惱火的東西……當(dāng)然,又有人會說,“你說的不是計算機(jī),而是計算機(jī)軟件”。原諒我吧,當(dāng)前的文章中只是舉個例子而已?,F(xiàn)在的重點是講解“比較句的機(jī)理”。)Computers are useful.Computers are complex.>>>(However,)Computers are not as useful as complex.(這句話還可以寫成:Computers are not as useful as they are complex.)
現(xiàn)在,再試比較以下幾個句子對計算機(jī)的抱怨的程度:
Computers are not as useful as complex.Computers are(much)less useful than complex.Computers are(much)more useless than complex.顯然,第三個句子能表達(dá)最強(qiáng)程度的抱怨。注意,前兩個句子比較的是“useful”和“complex”,而第三個句子比較的是“useless”和“complex”。
任何思想都有很多種表達(dá)方法,其中總是至少有一種表達(dá)方法比其他方法更加有效更加準(zhǔn)確。把可能的表達(dá)方法都羅列出來,仔細(xì)甄別,最終選出那個最有效、最準(zhǔn)確的表達(dá)方法的過程,其實就是傳說中的“煉句”了。
一提到“more/less… than”或者“as… as”,我們直接想到的是形容詞與副詞的比較級與最高級。可是,我們有的時候需要比較“名詞屬性”。比如這個句子: He is more of a friend than a father.這句話是如何“炮制”出來的呢?
He is a friend.He is a father.>>> He is more a friend than he is a father.可是,“more”是副詞;副詞什么時候可以修飾名詞呢?——錯的時候。副詞是不能修飾名詞的。那怎么辦呢?填一個“of”進(jìn)來?!皁f”后面接上一個名詞所構(gòu)成的介詞詞組相當(dāng)于那個名詞的形容詞詞性(真拗口),所以,以下兩個句子是等價的: It is very important.It is of great importance.于是,填進(jìn)去一個“of”之后: He is more a friend than he is a father.>>> He is more of a friend than a father.這句話的意思是說:“他是個好父親,更是個好朋友?!边@其中的“好”,應(yīng)該是在前文中已經(jīng)描述過的(比較句是依賴上下文的——重點6)。
重點8: 比較名詞屬性的時候,“more”后面要加上一個“of”。
重點9:比較名詞屬性的時候,“as”后面要加上“much of”。
所以,如果我想表達(dá)“他是個多好的父親,他就是個多好的朋友”,那么就應(yīng)該寫成: He is as much of a friend as a father.現(xiàn)在我們可以通通透透地理解下面這個所謂的“難句”了——這是一個托福閱讀中出現(xiàn)的句子,難倒過不少人:
Life’s transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life.讓我們逆向拆解一下這句話的“炮制”過程(重點1): Life’s transition from the sea to the land was an evolutionary challenge.The genesis of life was an evolutionary challenge.>>> Life’s transition from the sea to the land was as an evolutionary challenge as the genesis of life was an evolutionary challenge.加上一個程度副詞“perhaps”:
>>> Life’s transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as an evolutionary challenge as the genesis of life was an evolutionary challenge.因為比較的是名詞屬性,“as”后面加上“much of”(重點9)
>>> Life’s transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as the genesis of life was an evolutionary challenge.第二個句子中重復(fù)的部分省略掉,謂語動詞不省略(重點2)
>>> Life’s transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as the genesis of life was.第二個句子的謂語動詞倒裝(重點4),最終得到我們之前看過的句子:
>>> Life’s transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life.這句話的意思是說,“(如果說)生命的起源是個進(jìn)化的挑戰(zhàn)(的話),(那么)生命從海洋到陸地的演變是個更大程度的進(jìn)化挑戰(zhàn)?!?/p>
由于比較句中的第二個句子(重點1)是參照系(重點7),所以,在讀到這個句子之前,肯定有筆墨描述“The genesis of life was an evolutionary challenge.”,而在那篇文章中,這個比較句是第三句話:
Life originated in the early seas less than a billion years after the Earth was formed.Yet another three billion years were to pass before the first plants and animals appeared on the continents.Life's transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life.再看一個GRE ISSUE作文題目中的句子:
When we concern ourselves with the study of history, we become storytellers.Because we can never know the past directly but must construct it by interpreting evidence, exploring history is more of a creative enterprise than it is an objective pursuit.All historians are storytellers.現(xiàn)在能夠完全明了“… exploring history is more of a creative enterprise than it is an objective pursuit.”是如何構(gòu)成的、以及這句話究竟是什么意思了吧?
再給大家看一個論壇上的鏈接(最后一個答復(fù)日期是Nov 18 2007, 10:52 AM),大家就是知道有多少人因為這個“of ”或者“much of ”而困惑了——可是你,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完全明了。
GRE ISSUE作文題庫 里還有這樣一個句子:
“In most societies, competition generally has more of a negative than a positive effect.”
這個句子是怎么構(gòu)成的呢? Competition has a negative effect.Competition has a positive effect.>>> Competition has more a negative effect than competition has a positive effect.>>> Competition has more of a negative effect than competition has a positive effect.現(xiàn)在,還有兩個“effect”是重復(fù)的,于是,這句話最終可以有兩個版本:
? ? Competition has more of a negative effect than a positive one.(代詞替換)
Competition has more of a negative than a positive effect.(第一個“effect”省略掉)
這兩個版本都是正確的,通常推薦使用第二個版本——因為它更簡潔。
托福作文題目中有這樣一道題:
It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books.In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
這道題并不像看起來那么簡單。如若沒有人提醒,很多人考生會在作文中去比較“書本”與“經(jīng)驗”——不知不覺作文就寫得越來越亂。為什么呢?因為“書本”與“經(jīng)驗”并不屬于同一范疇(重點5),很難進(jìn)行有意義的比較。
其實,題目中要求的是比較(A)“從書本中獲得的知識”與(B)“從經(jīng)驗中獲得的知識”——都是“知識”,于是屬于同一范疇,于是可以做這樣的比較: 1)從書本中獲得的知識要比從經(jīng)驗中獲得的知識更廣博。
或者
2)從經(jīng)驗中獲得的知識要比從書本中獲得的知識更深入。
這兩句話應(yīng)該怎么翻譯呢?“文縐縐”的書面形式應(yīng)該寫成什么樣呢?讀者不妨先嘗試一下。我們先講點別的東西,一會兒回頭再講這個句子。
有的時候我們需要比較的不是A和B,而是屬于A的一個事物與屬于B的一個事物。也就是說,我們要比較的是“A’s X”和“B’s X”。比較句是兩個句子構(gòu)成的,于是,最終的比較句大抵上應(yīng)該含有以下結(jié)構(gòu):
A’s X… than/as B’s X…
“文縐縐”的書面語講究“避免重復(fù)”,甚至?xí)氨苊庵貜?fù)結(jié)構(gòu)”。“A’s X”和“B’s X”就是結(jié)構(gòu)上的重復(fù)。而英文中的所屬格有兩種表示方式,“A’s X”和“X of A”、“B’s X”和“X of B”。于是,書面比較句的第一個句子使用“A’s X”和“X of A”中的任何一個,而第二個句子中往往使用“X of B”的形式:
A’s X… than/as X of B…
可是,“X”還是重復(fù)了,那怎么辦呢?換成代詞“that”。
“他的眼睛比我的眼睛大”,口語中直接說“His eyes are bigger than mine.”就完事兒了;“文縐縐”一點的書面語要寫成:
His eyes are bigger than those of mine.(注意,要用“those”而不是“that”,因為“我”不是獨眼龍。)
重點10:比較句中的第二個所屬格往往表示為“that/those of …”的形式。
以下是幾個托福閱讀文章中的句子:
? ? Baskets produced by other Native Americans were less varied in design than those of the Pomo people.Lavoisier's interpretation was more reasonable and straightforward than that of the phlogiston theorists.? This amount of change that has occurred in fossil bone, even in bone as old as that of dinosaurs, is often remarkably small.事實上,除了“than/as”之外,還有很多比較結(jié)構(gòu),都可以使用這種“所屬格代詞結(jié)構(gòu)替換”:
? ?
? ? ? ?
? ? same as :The values of the news media are the same as those of the elite, and they badly want to be viewed by the elites as acceptable.similar to : Their composition is thought to be similar to that of Earth's iron core, and indeed they might have once made up the core of a large planetoid that disintegrated long ago.differ from :How did the work of American carvers in 1776 differ from that of contemporary sculptors?
prefer to :They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments.favor over :Rather, the denominator ideology is to favor businesses' interests over those of individuals.superior/inferior to :The position of the women, lie says, is miserably inferior to that of English and American working women, and the hours of work of English people a whole age ahead of those of their Continental brethren.parallel to: The author discusses the development of flight in birds as resulting from a separate but parallel development process to that of pterosaurs....現(xiàn)在,讓我們回到前面提到句子:
從書本中獲得的知識要比從經(jīng)驗中獲得的知識更廣博。
之前大多數(shù)人會把這個句子翻譯成:
Knowledge gained from books is broader than knowledge gained from experience.這樣翻譯當(dāng)然完全沒錯,不過,如果應(yīng)用一下剛剛講解過的內(nèi)容,那么這句話可以寫成: Knowledge gained from books is broader than that gained from experience.應(yīng)用重點2,書面比較句第二個句子中的謂語動詞建議不要省略,那么: Knowledge gained from books is broader than that gained from experience is.再應(yīng)用重點4,第二個句子的謂語動詞可以倒裝,那么:
Knowledge gained from books is broader than is that gained from experience.再給提供兩個例子: ? ? In particular, the responses of less-educated individuals are far more sensitive to issue framing than are those of highly educated individuals.“Thus,” Darwin concludes in the last sentence of the book, “we are brought face to face with a difficulty as insoluble as is that of free will and predestination.” 如果我們想表達(dá):
“今天的學(xué)生實際上并不比過去的學(xué)生更聰明。”(但由于有了計算機(jī)的幫助,今天的學(xué)生懂得比過去的學(xué)生更多。這句話在托福 作文中可以用得到:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.)
大多數(shù)人原本的表達(dá)可能是這樣的:
Today’s students are in fact not smarter than students of the past.應(yīng)用之前的各個重點,現(xiàn)在讀者可以炮制出:
Today’s students are in fact not smarter than were those of the past.英文當(dāng)中有一個詞,本質(zhì)上是“代詞”,卻在任何詞典或者語法書中都沒有被當(dāng)作代詞處理過,這個單詞是:counterpart。
重點11: “counterpart”本質(zhì)上來看是“比較句中的代詞”。
之前的句子“今天的學(xué)生實際上并不比過去的學(xué)生更聰明?!边€可以這樣寫: Today’s students are in fact not smarter than are their counterparts of the past.再補充兩個使用“counterpart”的例句:
? ? The idea that antioxidant supplements are the same as their counterparts that are naturally present in food is a myth.In international comparison, Swiss labor force is cheaper than its counterpart in neighboring countries.
