5.5 形介搭配: conscious of + wh- VS of wh- … conscious

我们现在来看 形介搭配 ,具体又可以分为下面两种情况:

1B. (主)形介(主)搭配,即主句中介词搭配主句中的形容词( conscious of + wh-)

2B. (从)形介(从)搭配,即从句中介词搭配从句中的形容词( of wh- … conscious

请看例句:

a. She was very conscious of which is more important.

b. That was a problem of which she was very conscious.

我们看到,虽然两句中都含有of which,但of来源不同,断句分别为:

a. She was very conscious of [which is more important]. (她很清楚哪个更重要。)

b. That was a problem [ of which she was very conscious ]. (那个问题她完全意识到了。)

可见,a句中的of来自主句,与主句中形容词conscious搭配;而b句中的of来自从句,与从句中形容词conscious搭配,但被前置了,我们可以把of放回到conscious后边,因此,b句可以改写成:

b1. That was a problem [which she was very conscious of ].

从句类型分别是:a句的which is more important作介词of的宾语,故为宾语从句,且是名疑;b句的of which she was very conscious是定语从句,修饰problem。

再比如:

c. Many of the crimes of which he was certainly guilty are of a minor nature.

断句如下:

c. Many of the crimes [ of which he was certainly guilty ] are of a minor nature. (他确实犯了很多轻微罪行。)

此处of which属于2B型,即从句介词(of)搭配从句形容词(guilty),来自be guilty of X搭配,意为“犯有X罪行”。介词of被前置了,可以后置写成:

c1. Many of the crimes [ which he was certainly guilty of ] are of a minor nature.

括号中的定语从句修饰先行词crimes,还原成简单句相当于说:

He was certainly guilty of the crimes (=of which).

下面来看考研真题中的相关句子。

真题 All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware, she says. (2009年Text 1)

解析 断句如下:

a. All of us work through problems in ways [ of which we're unaware ]

这里of which属于2B型,即从句介词(of)搭配从句形容词(unaware),来自X be unaware of Y搭配,意为“X不知道Y”。介词of被前置了,可以后置写成:

b. All of us work through problems in ways [which we're unaware of ]

括号中的从句是定语从句,修饰先行词ways,还原成简单句是:

We're unaware of those ways (=of which).

译文 她说,我们所有人都以我们没有意识到的方式解决问题。

真题 In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organisations that they run. (2015年英语一Text 4)

解析 断句如下:

a. … well-paid executives should not be accountable for [what happens in the organisations that they run].

这里for what属于1B型,即主句介词(for)搭配主句形容词(accountable),来自X be accountable for Y搭配,意为“X对Y负责”。括号中的what从句作for的宾语,故为宾语从句,其中what作从句的主语。另外,在what从句中又嵌套了一个定语从句that they run,修饰先行词organisations。句子主干是it has become normal that …,that引导主语从句。注意,从句中的should表示“竟然”,是一种惊讶之意,呼应原文后续的Perhaps we should not be so surprised这句。

译文 在当今世界,公司高管拿着高薪却无须对自己管理的机构中所发生的问题负责,而这竟已成为常态。

真题 You make further inferences, for instance, about how the text may be significant to you, or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible. (2015年英语一Part B)

解析 断句如下:

a. … a personal response [ for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible ].

这里for which属于2B型,即从句介词(for)搭配从句形容词(responsible),来自X be responsible for Y搭配,意为“X对Y负责”。介词for被前置了,可以后置写成:

b. … a personal response [which the author will inevitably be far less responsible for ].

括号中的从句是定语从句,修饰先行词personal response,还原成简单句是:

The author will inevitably be far less responsible for the personal response (=for which).

译文 你还可以做出进一步的推断,比如,文章对你的重要性或其内容的真实性——这些推断构成了读者个人反馈的基础,而文章作者则必然不会为这种个人反馈担责。

我们从下一节开始讲 名介搭配 。名介搭配具体又可以分为1C/2C、1D/2D以及1E/2E这三组情况,六种结构。从下一节起将分别举例说明。 kJ9VLSvEBpDU1i8gyBYUlrjXd4j8Mxr/9GoIfc6g3SG+oNHzCmNB443ylSaNVMhI
