备注:
这些造句例子构造主要是把主题字句: (一) 配搭其他多个词句来示范它多元化的用法. (二) 列上同义或意思相近的词句来充实词汇.
为达到效果句子有以下符号来分隔词句:
(</>): 可交替用的单字或片语, 下面两个例子每句都由两句组成:
1. 她是(漂亮/ditto)1: She is (pretty/beautiful)1.
是由两句意思一样组成: “She is pretty”. 和“She is beautiful”, 意思同样都是“她是漂亮.”
2. 她是(<漂亮>1a/<样子平凡>1b): She is (<pretty>1a/<homely>1b).
是由两句意思不同组成(1a) “She is pretty” 意思是“她是漂亮”; 和(1b) “She is homely” 意思是“她是样子平凡”.
[口]: 不按照英文文法规例或不适用于书写的口语、
ditto: 相同意思.
1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4…….中英解释参照
THINK ENGLISH (即是不要先用中文构思才翻译为英文)才可以讲写道地英文.
建议若要把以上句子收为己用, 先看中文部分转为构思, 试用自己英文写出来, 再参长这里提议的写法加以改进, 也可以看一下字典和上网看其他用这词句的句子来深入研究, 下一次碰到这个构思便直接用英文写出来不要经过中文做句子再翻译过去英文. |
