Sentence Pattern Unit 1.3

UNIT 1.3

1. If + S + V..., S + Aux + V....

說明：此句型的意思為「如果……，那麼……」，if為表「條件」的從屬連接詞，句型中的主要子句為表示「現在或未來可能發生」的直說語氣，屬於真實條件句。在表示直說語氣時，if所引導的從屬子句須使用「現在簡單式」，而其主要子句則用助動詞 (will、can、may、should等) 加上原形動詞。

例句

1. If you live in Kaohsiung, you may already know about the Liuhe Night Market.

  (如果你住在高雄，你或許早已知道六合夜市了。)

2. If Kelly doesn’t show up at five, we should start off without her.

  (如果Kelly五點沒有出現，我們應該出發不等她了。)

3. If you continue making noise, you will be asked to leave the library.

  (如果你繼續製造噪音，你將會被要求離開圖書館。)

2. S + V...after/before/when/while + S + V.... → S + V...after/before/when/while + V-ing....

說明：此句型介紹從屬子句主詞的省略，並將之後的主動動詞轉為現在分詞(V-ing)。注意這組句型必須在主要子句和從屬子句的主詞相同時才能成立。

例句

1. You can try a variety of food while you stroll through Taiwan’s night markets.

  → You can try a variety of food while strolling through Taiwan’s night markets.

     (在臺灣的夜市裡閒晃時，你可以嘗試各式各樣的食物。)

2. Many tourists fall in love with pearl milk tea after they taste it.

  → Many tourists fall in love with pearl milk tea after tasting it.

     (許多遊客在品嚐過珍珠奶茶後就愛上了它。)

3. When I said I didn’t like you, I did not mean it. (當我說我不喜歡你時，我並不是認真的。)

  → When saying I didn’t like you, I did not mean it.

3. be known/famous    as

                                       for      以…聞名

說明：此兩片語皆用來表示「以……聞名」，但as 後面通常接「名字、名稱」或是「身分、職業」；而for 後面則接「一項事物或是一件事情」。搭配的動詞除了be動詞之外，也常用become。

例句

1. The area then became known/famous as the Shilin Night Market.  (這個區域然後就以士林夜市聞名。)

2. The restaurant has become known/famous for its fresh seafood.  (這間餐廳以它新鮮的海產而聞名。)

3. The town is known/famous for producing high-quality red wine.  (這個城鎮以生產品質優良的紅酒而聞名。)

4. S + has/have + Vpp

說明：1. 此句型為現在完成式的用法，常用來表示下列三種狀態：「動作剛完成或尚未完成」、「截至目前為止已有過或未有過的經驗」以及「過去一直持續到現在的動作或狀態」。

2. 現在完成式常與just、already、yet、ever、never、「since + 過去時間」或「for +一段時間」連用。

例句

1. The town has changed a lot in recent decades.  (這個城鎮在近幾十年來已經有了很大的轉變。)

2. Christine has already seen that movie for three times.  (Christine早已看過那部電影三次了。)

3. We have just finished our science report.  (我們剛剛完成了自然科學報告。)

5. the reason + that/why + S + V...   是…的原因

說明：that和why具有連接詞的作用，why為一關係副詞，that則為關係代名詞。兩者皆可用來引導形容詞子句，修飾表「原因」的先行詞the reason。

例句

1. Food is the main reason that so many people continue to go to the Shilin Night Market.　

  (食物是許多人持續去士林夜市的主要原因。)

2. You have to explain the reason why you’re late again.  (你必須要解釋你又遲到的原因。)

3. We don’t know the reason why Kevin moved back to live with his family.

  (我們不知道Kevin搬回去和家人同住的原因。)
