第4題的答案有抄對嗎?
作者: lucy841230 (YWJ)   2016-07-13 02:10:00
是的,照書上的全抄
作者: gentianpan   2016-07-13 07:01:00
我感覺第4題應為a。選項 d的寫法看得懂,但這語意我會改成 one of my sister's boyfriends,且 boyfriends 前沒加ex- 也怪怪的...

3,4老掉牙問題,雙重所有格。使用情境是determiner(限定詞)與possessive(所有格)共同修飾同一個名詞時,句型是「限定詞+N+of+所有格」。4d只能表示姊姊的一位男友,她有幾個男友是不確定的。

第四題答案應該是A,書本應該誤植。

vincent 的說法是文法真的這樣教,但 natural speaking 比較像是 one of my ...s. 我選a 是相較4其他3項較直覺表達。而且就一個男友哦。

1.a=>one like it in Athen, 1.b=>去掉a2.可能than當介系詞用,翻做「他是她的兒子,沒有年輕人比他來得親切」。文學作品較常見此用法,字典例句https://goo.gl/fH5rj3 , http://goo.gl/TrvgLs

boyfriend有男生朋友的意思啊…又不是只有男朋友的意思就跟I saw a friend of hers是一樣的意思但我也說不出來為什麼不能選A就是了 XD
作者: gentianpan   2016-07-15 21:46:00
a space in between makes a big different. 此題這裡是男朋友,而非男的朋友。

Merriam Webster字典裡面,boyfriend的第一個definition就是a male friend.
作者: gentianpan   2016-07-16 02:39:00
No. This isn't conventional way we define a "boyfriend." In your case, I'd rather call it a malefriend or a female friend instead of ambiguous term.For your information from wiki: There is a significant difference between girlfriend and齩oyfriend, and䓻irl friend and齩oy friend. In a strictly grammatical sense, agirlfriend or齩oyfriends an'individual of significance' with whom one sharesa relationship.And it is very easy to get to feel what a boyfriend or girlfriend is in context of a lot of youtube programs.
