標題[文法] 句子減化和主詞一致的問題
時間Thu Mar 12 04:01:50 2015
大家好, 我想請教有關句子減化的問題.
假設有一個句子如下:
"Before I move on to the next section, it is worth mentioning..."
我原本想把它減化成:
"Before moving on to the next section, it is worth mentioning..."
但是想到Before子句裡的I並不是後面It句子裡的主詞,
把I move減化成moving會不會造成文意不明或犯了什麼主詞不一致的文法錯誤?
後來在曼徹斯特大學的學術寫作網頁裡
http://www.phrasebank.manchester.ac.uk/summary-and-transition/
我看到兩個例句如下:
"Before proceeding to examine X, it will be necessary to..."
"Before employing these theories to examine X, it is necessary to..."
這是不是表示我原本想的減化句子也是正確的?
先謝謝大家了.
