第四題:這個(gè)足球隊(duì)有一種新的踢法,他們保留這一手以便在重要比賽中出奇制勝。The football team has a new play they are keeping an ace in the hole the big game. 參考答案如下:that,as,for。完整句子為:The football team has a new play that they are keeping as an ace in the hole for the big game. 要完成這道題注意一下三個(gè)要點(diǎn)。
【要點(diǎn)詳解】
第一、掌握定語從句。The football team has a new play that they are keeping as an ace in the hole for the big game. 這個(gè)句子是含有一個(gè)定語從句的復(fù)合句。主句是the football team has a new play,從句是由that引導(dǎo)的they are keeping as an ace in the hole for the big game。這個(gè)句子中的先行詞是paly,它在定語從句中做keep的賓語,即:They are keeping the new play as an ace in the hole for the big game. 那么先行詞是物,在定語從句中又做賓語,我們就要選擇關(guān)系代詞。指代物的關(guān)系代詞有2個(gè):which, that。由于先行詞play在本句中是作賓語,則只能用that,不能用which。其實(shí),that在這個(gè)句子中是可以省略的。
第二、掌握用keep來表述“把...留作”“把...當(dāng)做”的短語是keep...as。那么短語中的as有的語法專家是說是引詞,但是有的語法專家說是介詞。我們來看2個(gè)例句:Which animal would you like to keep as a pet?你想養(yǎng)什么動(dòng)物做寵物?My hopes. Is there any help to keep it as my daily goal? 我對未來抱有希望。我把它作為每日的目標(biāo)是否有幫助?
第三、理解介詞for是“用途”的意思。例如:It is a book for children. 這本書是兒童讀物。We got a new table for the dining room. 我們買了張新桌子用于飯廳的。
