1704792897 英文疑难详解 117.though 的误用
1704792898
1704792899 “虽则他病了好几年,现在却完全好了。”一句,译成英文为 Though having been ill for years,he is now quite well.据说是错了,但不知错在何处,请详为解说。
1704792900
1704792901 【解答】译文确是错误的,应将 though 改为 after 或根本去掉,因为 though 是一个连词( Conjunction),后面必须接上一个子句( Clause),而 after 虽则也可作连词用,但主要是介词( Preposition)。例如说:“我不能照他那样做。” I cannot do it like he does.就是错误的,因为 like 是介词,后面不能接子句,必须改成连词的 as 才行,如要保留介词的 like,就要把后面的子句 he does,改为单字的 him:
1704792902
1704792903 I cannot do it like him.
1704792904
1704792905 I cannot do it as he does.
1704792906
1704792907 由于同样的原因,质问中的句子,也应改正如下:
1704792908
1704792909 Though he has been ill for years,he is now quite well.
1704792910
1704792911 After having been ill for years,he is now quite well.
1704792912
1704792913 Having been ill for years,he is now quite well.
1704792914
1704792915 再看下面一例:
1704792916
1704792917 After all my care (= Although I was so careful),it was broken.(我非常当心,但它还是破了。)
1704792918
1704792919 句中 after 是介词,although 是连词。

1704792925 英文疑难详解 118.after 用作连词或介词
1704792926
1704792927 After walking about an hour,we arrived at the place.(走了差不多一小时之后,我们达到目的地了。)句中的 after 一字,到底是连词呢还是介词?
1704792928
1704792929 【解答】在上举文句中的 after 一字,最好把它看作是介词,walking 为动名词。也像一个现在时的动词一样,一个现在时的单纯动名词( Simple Gerund)也有现在、过去、未来三种时态的用法,例如:
1704792930
1704792931 I have no doubt of your being able to speak English well.(= I have no doubt that you are able to speak English well.)(现在时态)
1704792932
1704792933 The students were glad of the examination being over.(= The students were glad that the examination was over.)(过去时态)
1704792934
1704792935 I have no doubt of your succeeding.(= I have no doubt that you will succeed.)(未来时态)
1704792936
1704792937 由此可知问题中的 walking 一字也是可以表过去的,我们应把它看做一个动名词,而不是现在分词。像 after 一般的这种介词的用法,我们还可以举出下面的种种例句来:
1704792938
1704792939 On arriving in London, I sent him a telegram.(一到伦敦我就打了一个电报给他。)
1704792940
1704792941 Before leaving the place, I mean to see all the sights worth seeing.(离开那里以前,我打算要去看看一切值得一看的风景。)
1704792942
1704792943 After ringing (having rung)the bell,he retired into the shade.(摇过了铃,他就躲到阴处去了。)
1704792944
1704792945 上面问题中提出的句子,还可以变成下面种种说法:
