"Still" 的用法
- 表示“仍然”,强调状态或动作的延续,通常用于肯定句。

- He is still working.(他仍在工作。)
-
并列连词 "and" 的逻辑关系
- 此处表示“递进”或“伴随”,说明两个动作同时发生。
句子翻译:
"我们在帽店已经待了半小时,而我妻子还在镜子前(试戴帽子)。"
常见错误纠正:
❌ We were in the hat shop for half an hour...(语法正确,但无法强调“持续到某个过去时间点”)
✅ 更准确的表达:We had been in the hat shop for half an hour...(强调“已经待了半小时”)
❌ My wife still stood in front of the mirror.(语法正确,但原句强调“状态”而非“动作”)
✅ 更符合原意的表达:My wife was still in front of the mirror.
总结
- 过去完成进行时(had been)强调动作的持续性。
- 一般过去时(was)描述过去某一时刻的状态。
- "Still" 加强语气,表示“仍在 进行”。
- 并列句(and)连接两个相关动作。
2. "I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday."
1. 主句结构
- 主语 (Subject): I
- 谓语 (Predicate): needn't remind
- needn't = need not(情态动词否定形式,表示“不必”)
- remind(及物动词,意为“提醒”)
- 宾语 (Object): you
- 介词短语 (Prepositional Phrase): of that terrible tie you bought yesterday
- of 引出提醒的具体内容
- that terrible tie(中心名词短语,被定语从句修饰)
- you bought yesterday(定语从句,修饰“tie”)
语法重点解析:
-
情态动词 "need" 的否定形式
- needn't = 不必(强调“没有必要做某事”)
- 例:
- You needn't worry.(你不必担心。)
- 比较:
- don't need to(更口语化,但含义相同)
-
"Remind someone of something" 固定搭配
- remind + 人 + of + 事物(让某人想起某事)
- 例:
- This song reminds me of my childhood.(这首歌让我想起童年。)
- 误用:
- ❌ I needn't remind you that terrible tie...(缺少介词“of”)
-
定语从句 "you bought yesterday"
- 修饰“that terrible tie”,省略关系代词 that/which(因作宾语可省略)
- 完整形式:that/which you bought yesterday
-
讽刺/幽默语气
- “that terrible tie” 带有强烈主观评价,暗示说话者对领带的不满或调侃。
句子翻译:
“我就不必提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕领带了吧。”(隐含:你自己应该记得/意识到它有多难看)
常见错误纠正:
❌ I needn't remind you that terrible tie...(缺少介词“of”)
✅ 正确表达:I needn't remind you of that terrible tie...
❌ I don't need remind you...(语法错误,缺“to”)
✅ 正确表达:
- I needn't remind you...(情态动词)
- I don't need to remind you...(实义动词)
总结
- 情态动词 "needn't":表“不必”,后接动词原形。
- "Remind of" 固定搭配:必须加介词“of”引出内容。
- 定语从句省略关系代词:因“tie”在从句中作宾语(you bought it)。
- 语气:通过“terrible”和“needn't”传递调侃或责备。
