标题[文法] 外国网友回应中的being adjectives
时间Fri Feb 2 13:57:28 2018
各位好,请教一下
在英语论坛问了一个问题及回应:
(完整内容
https://goo.gl/Qb72Lt)
我问:
1. try your best --> 'best' here is a noun.
2. try your level best--> 'best' here is an adjective. (try your level which
is best)
----
Am I right?
网友Rover_KE答:
IMO, 'best' is still a noun in #2.
Also: your very best — level and best being adjectives.
我再问:
Why not 'level and very are adjectives'?
他答:
That would work, but rephrasing and punctuation would need to be changed.
'You can also say "your very best". "Level" and "very" are adjectives in this
context.'
My first version was shorter.
我又问:
Thank you. But I don't understand why the following isn't correct. I think
this sentence is grammatical, isn't it? (A dash can be followed by a
sentence.)
Also: your very best — level and very are adjectives.
我又补充:
Or did Rover_KE just want a phrase rather than a sentence?
Did the phrase mean the following?
... level and very (which are) being adjectives.
======
目前还没有进一步回应,我想对方可能不想回应了QQ
在英语论坛混了一段时间发现,有些他们习以为常的文字叙述,我实在是没办法完全懂。
想请教一下,为何他要用being adjectives呢?谢谢。

1F:→ kaifrankwind: 跟你讲 就算是母语人士也不等於文法专家 可能人家 02/02 21:42
2F:→ kaifrankwind: 也只是刚好想到随口说说 02/02 21:42
4F:→ dunchee: ABSOLUTE PHRASE (文法术语不是「都」一样) 02/03 00:00
5F:→ dunchee: "为何他要用..."-> 本来就有这样的习惯表达/用法。他不是 02/03 00:00
6F:→ dunchee: 先背出这文法术语然後才拼凑出那句子。前头我查的东西我 02/03 00:01
7F:→ dunchee: 是後来(无聊)才翻到/查到/知道。从整体意思/脉络可以读 02/03 00:01
8F:→ dunchee: 出他要表达的意思--我当初是(长期读到这类叙述)这样子直 02/03 00:01
9F:→ dunchee: 接学起来的/直接读懂 习惯之後再碰到就觉得很自然了 02/03 00:01
11F:→ dunchee: 冒犯程度,但是如果是因为"得不到答案",那麽直接在另一 02/03 00:24

14F:→ dunchee: ,自有人回) 02/03 00:24
15F:→ dunchee: (这两个 forums 的人过去曾打过笔战) 02/03 00:27
感谢D大提醒!
其实这个作法我也很为难,我之前就曾经同时贴在两边的论坛,
但他们之中至少有两位是在两边都有担任版主(Rover_KE和teechar),结果後来後者
就跟我说,不能同时贴两边,要嘛就是先贴一边,如果之後得到的回答不满意,
再贴另一边,不过要把不满意的原因写出来,并且给出原文网址,
所以我才会有现在的作法。就像这篇

不过经由您提醒,往後我转贴问题时会多上加一些感谢的话,让观感更好些。
谢谢!

16F:推 l10nel: 补充:absolute phrase就是你要的答案,而且,该片语不能 02/03 01:39
17F:→ l10nel: 还原为level and very which are being adjectives,这样 02/03 01:40
18F:→ l10nel: 意思就变了,它本是一个句子,但你的还原变成名词片语 02/03 01:41
谢谢您!

19F:→ dunchee: (我回你的站内信)不客气。我忘了提。Rover并没有说你的句 02/03 02:22
20F:→ dunchee: 子 not correct (还是你把"would work"误解成subjunctive 02/03 02:22
21F:→ dunchee: (这不等於conditional) 的「事实上是 doesn't work」?) 02/03 02:22
22F:→ dunchee: 他只是提供(他自己主观认为的)更好的表达(若要完整的句子 02/03 02:22
23F:→ dunchee: 的话就全部完整的用(两个)句子交待清楚),所以你之後的问 02/03 02:23
24F:→ dunchee: 题"... why .. isn't correct" 就有些..... 02/03 02:23
