※ 引述《wudanlu (阿斯巴甜)》之銘言:
: 各位大大好,
: 想請問以下句子
: Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and licensed professionals,
: many whom have never actually transformed lives, who try to fool us into
: believing fear is a positive emotion in life.
: 裡面使用的"...., many whom "意思或在文法上的解釋是什麼?
: 和many of whom有什麼差別嗎?
: 感謝您的幫忙!
如果你不要加'of'這個字,你的例句犯錯了,應該寫"…many who…"。
1.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and licensed professionals,
many who have never actually transformed lives, who try to fool us
into believing fear is a positive emotion in life.
...
1.x.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and professionals,
many [such placators and professionals]
who have never actually transformed lives.
1.x1.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and professionals,
many [such placators and professionals].
1.x2.)
Such placators and professionals have never actually transformed lives.
2.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and licensed professionals
many of whom have never actually transformed lives, who try to fool us
into believing fear is a positive emotion in life.
...
2.x.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and professionals,
many of whom have never actually transformed lives.
2.x1.) Today we are faced with a multitude of placators and professionals.
2.x2.)
Many of these placators and professionals have never
actually transformed lives.
把(1.x...)跟(2.x...)做比較以後,你就看得出來句法上的差別在哪裡。
句子裡的含義只有個很微小的差別:
(1.x2.)是說,這種人是這樣。
(2.x2.)是說,其中有人是這樣。
它們的差別只是關於範圍,常常不用關心這麼小的事。
我只能想像一個有關的情況:
3.) Many who are married lead happy lives.
3.1.) Many [people] who are married lead happy lives.
3.11.) Many [people] lead happy lives.
3.12.) Those people are married.
3.) Many of whom are married lead happy lives.
(我們沒辦法知道"of whom"在指出誰,因為在句子裡還沒有建立指示對象。)
