語法知識點 Grammar Points
This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children.
“on principle”依據自己的原則(所確定的信念)
例 He would vote against it on principle.
他會根據原則投反對票。
The emphasis was helped by the speaker’s square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base, while his eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by the wall.
“which”引導非限製性定語從句,代替forehead, “while”連詞,表轉折,起到連接的作用。“overshadowed”為非謂語動詞,表示被動,此處的邏輯關係應為“the two dark caves are overshadowed by the wall.”。
例 He is reading a book written by Bill Gates.
他在讀一本比爾·蓋茨寫的書。
The speaker’s obstinate carriage, square coat, square legs, square shoulders,—nay, his very neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp, like a stubborn fact, as it was,—all helped the emphasis.
“trained”為非謂語動詞,表示被動,此處的邏輯關係應為“his very neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat”。
“as it was”事實上,實際上;像過去一樣
例 The construction industry is no longer as depressed as it was.
建築業不再像以往那樣蕭條了。
