except 的用法講練

2024-01-22教育

1. 表示「期待」「期望」,通常為及物動詞,不要受漢語影響在其後誤加介詞for。如:

我們不能期望一夜之間就取得成功。

誤:We should not expect for success overnight.

正:We should not expect success overnight.

2. 後接動詞時要用不定式,不用動名詞。如:

I didn’t expect to find you here. 我沒料到在這裏碰到你。

若語意需要,其後還可接不定式的復合結構。如:

He expected her to go with him. 他期望她同他一起去。

3. 不要認為 expect 只表示「期待」「期望」,它還可表示「預計」「預料」等。如:

I expect a storm. 我預計會有場暴風雨來。

I expect that I will be back on Sunday. 我預計星期日回來。

有時可用於不好的方面。如:

He expects to fail the exam. 他預料無法透過考試。

另外,註意expect a baby這一慣用表達,其意為「懷孕」。如:

It’s public knowledge she’s expecting a baby. 大家都知道她已懷孕了。

4. 其後可接 that 從句,若從句謂語為否定,註意否定的轉移。如:

I don’t expect that he has done such a thing. 我預料他不會幹出這種事來。

在口語中有可表示「想」或「揣想」。如:

I expect you’re tired. 我想你是累了吧。

其後可接 that 從句,但不接疑問詞引導的從句,若遇有疑問詞,則要使用「疑問詞+do you expect…」這樣的句式。如:

你想什麽時候離開?

誤:Do you expect when you will leave?

誤:Do you expect when to leave?

正:When do you expect to leave?

5. 表示過去未曾實作的想法或打算,通常用過去完成時,但在一定的上下文當中,只要意思清楚,也可只用一般過去時。如:

I had expected to come early, but I missed the early bus. 我本來想早點來的,但未趕上早班車。

We expected him to arrive yesterday. 我們原以為他昨天就會到的。

有時在其後接不定式的完成式,如上面第一句也可改成:

I expected to have come early, but I missed the early bus.

6. 有時用於「It+be+過去分詞+從句」結構,表示「預計……」。如:

It’s expected that the war would end soon. 預計戰爭不久即可結束。

It is expected that the report will suggest some major reforms. 預計這個報告會提出一些重大的改革。

7. 註意as expected(不出所料)和than expected(比預料的更)這個搭配。如:

He returned three days earlier than expected. 他回來的時間比預料的要早3天。

The ascent of the mountain is proceeding as expected. 登山正在按計劃進行。

8. be (only) to be expected是一個很有用的表達,其意為「在預料當中的」「可能發生的」「相當正常的」。如:

His weakness after the illness is only to be expected. 他病後體弱是預料之中的事。

It is only to be expected your son will leave home eventually. 兒子總歸要離開家的,這種事很難免。

unexpected 出乎意料的,始料不及的
