※ 引述《JimiHendrix (Blue Wild Angel)》之銘言:
: He is the first man who landed on the moon.
: 有位老師說有最高級,只能改成: He is the first man to land on the moon.
"只能" => 太武斷
: 不能寫成 He is the first man landing on the moon.
同樣武斷
以下是我在別的板貼過的
------------------------------------
: : 2. She was the first woman ____ the Boston Marathon in a wheelchair.
: : a. that races b.to race c.racing d.that to race
: : 答案是b the first to Vr.的句型
: : 可是若選c 變成形容詞子句的句型 是否可以? who raced 改成主動racing
: : c答案是否合理?
: 我覺得c的文法沒錯,這題出的有點...鳥
有同感。
c 也可以。
以下是英語出版品裡的句子
- I was the first person doing camel rides, ....
- I was the first person going from Alaska before Congress to tell them
that the business of depletion was imminent.
- It just so happened that Mr. Corette was the first man going East as
I recall it.
- The instructor gave the signal to start the ascent, and he was the first
man going up.
- She was the first woman coming overland to settle in Oregon and she bore
the first child of white blood.
不再贅列了。
------------------------------------
以下是節錄 Cambridge Grammar of English
section 471h
Both finite and non-finite clauses may follow superlatives.
The non-finite clauses have a similar function to relative
clauses.
That's one of
the best films
I've ever seen.
She's
the youngest swimmer
to qualify for the Olympics.
They were
the fittest team
finishing the course.
------------------------------------
: 但問了別位老師,他認為兩者改法都可,不定詞效果反而較差,句子一長就容易讓
: 讀者認為to land on the moon是表"為了踏上月球"這個目的。
這....有些無言了............
------------------------------------
Practical English Usage, 3rd ed. by Michael Swan
section 284.3
Superlatives can be followed* by an infinitve structure.
The meaning is similar to an identifying relative clause.
He is
the oldest athlete ever
to win an Olympic gold medal.
( = ... who has ever won ...)
This structure is also common with
first, second, third etc,
next, last, and
only.
Who was
the first person to climb Everest without oxygen?
The next to arrive was Mrs Patterson.
She's
the only to have won three Nobel prizes.
This structure is only possible when the noun with the superlatives
has a subject relationship with the infinitive.
Is this the first time that you have stayed here?
(Not
... the first time for you to stay here. [句子被劃刪除線]
Time is not the subject of
stay.)
* 並沒有說 can only be followed...
------------------------------------
: 麻煩大家為我解惑,謝謝
: p.s.這兩位在留學補習界都算蠻有名的老師,讓我不知道該相信誰。
更讓我無言.......
