→ KLEANY:還有其他人 這是看中文翻得,我英文沒看過第一個句子 02/04 15:38
幾天前就有看到這篇貼文，
也是幾天前重看 Jane Eyre 的時候，
很巧地，看到這麼一個句子：
[quote]
This room was chill, because it seldom had a fire; it was silent,
because remote from the nursery and kitchen; solemn, because it
was known to be so seldom entered. The house-maid alone came here
on Saturdays, to wipe from the mirrors and the furniture a week's
quiet dust [...]
[/quote]
-----------
Just my two cents:
- In a manner of speaking, it has something to do with style of writing.
- The house-maid alone came here on Saturdays.
The house-maid came here alone on Saturdays.
第一句 alone 跟 agent 的位置比較近，語氣讀來比較強烈。

語料庫還收得挺多的
AmE 的語料庫 http://www.americancorpus.org/
WORD(S) 填入 she alone、he alone、I alone 等
BrE 的語料庫 http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/
Look up 後填入上列搜尋字樣
比較可惜的是，每次搜尋，最多只給 50 個例子
