Re: [請益] TPO R17 Lecture 1 一段句子

[Mydick ( 醉拳甘Mydick)]

※ 引述《tiger790815 (獅子)》之銘言：
: TPO 17 - Europe's Early Sea Trade with Asia
: 第一段的第二句
: This development, coming as it did when the bottom had fallen out of the
: European economy, provided an impetus to a long-held desire to secure direct
: relations with the East by establishing a sea trade.
: 中間這段一直分析不出來
: 不知道是不是倒裝句
: 有請大神 QQ
這不是倒裝句, 是 modifier, 或本地英文教學社群予稱的"分詞構句;"
句子中有代名詞"it," 指的是前面的 development。

這個部分的意義是補充說明"該發展(This development,)"

是在"在歐洲經濟掉到谷底後, 因應而生。"


也可以參考 我以同句構試寫的句子:
This earthquake,

coming as it did when some tectonic movement had been observed by seismologist,

did not cause much damage because people had taken necessary precaution.

推 tiger790815: 請問一下如果還原加上連接詞 這句會變成如何?
→ tiger790815: 如果我沒記錯分詞構句是省略連接詞和主詞
→ Mydick: This development came as it did...,and provided...
推 tiger790815: 可以看成The development, which comes ....省略的嗎
→ tiger790815: 怎麼感覺又有點像形容詞片語
→ tiger790815: 另外跌落谷底那邊 the botttom has fallen out
→ tiger790815: 是正常語序嗎? 中文會想表達成 the economy has
→ tiger790815: fallen out of bottom
→ Mydick: 句中所有動態都是正常語序, which "came"/"had" fallen
→ Mydick: 文法跟感覺無關, 是透過分析把每個句構單位的角色都釐清
→ Mydick: ",which came..."可以的; 這邊都是標準答案了

推 tiger790815: 如果直翻 the botttom had fallen out of economy
→ tiger790815: 會不會有點像是: 底部跌出經濟之外
→ tiger790815: 還是說這是跌落谷底的慣用語呢
推 tiger790815: 另外如果是用"which came "關係子句的話
→ tiger790815: 後面as it did 是合理的用法嗎 還是說應該用
→ tiger790815: as "itself" did
→ tiger790815: 不過討論到這邊好像有點太挑剔文法 應該懂意思就好
