来康康however的两种经典错误你有没有犯
在做SAT文法的句子和标点题的时候,很多同学喜欢掐指一算,脑门一拍,选个自己读起来赶脚的选项;殊不知,这是万万不可以的,因为句子和标点是英语惯用法(standard conventions)不是你的感觉能左右的。
举个例子吧:
Transforming landfills into parks has its pitfall,however, it is well worth the effort for communities to invest in these spaces. 18.5.NA
A. NO CHANGE
B. but
C. nonetheless
D. however
很多同学一上来就翻译意思,然后发现前后是个转折逻辑,但是纠结选项到底选哪个:想选but,但是感觉however也对。
其实,要想解除这个困境很容易,牢记下面的两种经典错误公式即可:
(1) 句子,however句子
however是逻辑副词,不能取代连词FANBOYS,即for/and/nor/but/or/yet/so;其他的逻辑副词,比如thus/therefore/nonetheless都不可以取代FANBOYS
(2) 句子,however,句子
很多同学把however当成插入语,这是错的,两个句子之间不不不存在着入语这种东西
所以,上面这道题答案就是B啦,你答对了吗?接下来运用上面的公式再来练习下面这个题吧:
Two books on the subject, one by architect Philip Steadman and the other by artist David Hockney, posited plausible theories that Vermeer relied on some kind of aid, there was no way, however, to confirm these suspicions. 17.12.AS-35
A. NO CHANGE
B. however, there was no way
C. but there was no way
D. there was no way
敲警钟!!一定要从头到尾分析句子
Two books on the subject是主语部分,逗号中间是插入语部分,posited plausible theories that Vermeer relied on some kind of aid是谓语部分,所以到这里是一个完整的句子,there was no way to confirm these suspicions 也是一个句子。
能分析到这里的同学,非常赞啦,晚饭可以加鸡腿!
A选项和B的结构是一样的,都是 句子,however,句子 (只是A选项把however放在句子的中间而已)错误
D选项的结构是 句子,句子 错误,两句之间不能逗号
所以答案就是C啦, 结构是 句子,but句子
