標題Re: [文法] 彭蒙惠出現的一段句子

※ 引述《cronaldo17 (cronaldo)》之銘言：
: A person dressed in a costume near a busy street, waving to drivers and
: usuaully holding a sign with a deal to a pizza place, hair salon or even
: a tax service.
此句文法是完全正確的用法。
根據文法書 Understanding and Using English Grammar 第4版的第18章，
這個句子文法叫做：Reduction of Adverb Clause to Modifying Adverbial Phrases
http://www.kouline.com/englishgrammar/ESL-54P19.html
有兩種不同的狀況可以使用此技巧：
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) If there is a "be" form of the verb, omit the subject of the dependent
clause and "be" verb. (參照例句1)
2.) If there is no "be" form of the a verb, omit the subject and change the
verb to -ing. (參照例句2)
例句1: While I was walking to class, I ran into an old friend.
經修飾後: While walking to class, I ran into an old friend.
例句2: Before I left for work, I ate breakfast.
經修飾後：Before leaving for work, I ate breakfast.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
只要兩個句子的主詞是同一個，即可省略be動詞，並將動詞改成-ing形態。
無論原句的時態為何，皆可改成-ing形態。
所以你提供的句子經過還原應該會是變成兩句：
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) A person (who is) dressed in a costume near a busy street.
2.) (The person) waves to drivers and usuaully holds a sign with a deal to a
pizza place, hair salon or even a tax service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
更深入的解釋及不同用法可參照 Understanding and Using English Grammar 第4版
這本書很實用又明瞭清楚，讓我獲得極大的幫助。
另外，若兩個句子的主詞不一樣，其實也是可以使用此技巧經過修飾。
不過原則有些不一樣，要使用一些輔助字眼。

1F：推 hommequiaime:老兄 你看錯了吧 還原的話那連接詞呢? 04/17 22:33
2F：→ habodaha:分為兩個句子為何需要連接詞呢？ 04/18 04:09
3F：推 shousaki:這句跟你講的狀況不一樣吧 你舉的2個例句經修飾後 04/19 01:38
4F：→ shousaki:還是要有動詞 但是原原PO的句子裡是沒有動詞 04/19 01:40
5F：→ shousaki:這句應該就是如原原PO文章裡D大的推文所說 04/19 01:41
6F：→ shousaki:漏了前面的部分We’ve all seen one: 04/19 01:43
7F：→ shousaki:a person dressed....整個是一個名詞片語 當one的同位語 04/19 02:04
A person dressed in a costume near a busy street.
= A person (who is) dressed in a costume near a busy street.
根據文法書 Understanding and Using English Grammar 第4版的第13章第11節，
這個句子文法叫做：Reducing Adjective Clauses to Adjective Phrases
請見圖片(f)例句。
http://ppt.cc/i4;N
或見：
http://www.testyourenglish.net/english-online/subjects/relreduct.html
網址的最後兩個例句。
1.) The house painted in red is where John lives.
= The house (which is) painted in red is where John lives.
2.) People invited are expected to be formally dressed for the occasion.
= People (who are) invited are expected to be formally dressed for the
occasion.
原PO給的句子融合了兩種句型，句子結構才會看起來是那樣。
無論 We've all seen one: 有沒有被省略，此句的文法也會是完全正確的。
更深入的技巧 Understanding and Using English Grammar 裡都有說到。

9F：→ habodaha:謝謝你。我今天問過老師，的確少了前面那句會不完整結構 04/20 05:34
