解析漢語【40】說話算數(shù)

字號(hào):

啡友L說動(dòng)詞promise的過去分詞跟著連詞(conjunction)用的as,成為as promised,常見用者——特別是在商業(yè)通信中。一家公司答應(yīng)寄送樣品給客戶,附函中說:We are sending you the sample, as (we) promised.會(huì)話中用以聲明會(huì)照辦事先說好的事情。例如你借了朋友一本書,久久未還。朋友偶然問起,你說明天一定奉還:I'll bring the book back tomorrow, as(I)promised,表示當(dāng)初說了要還,一定會(huì)還。
    As加動(dòng)詞過去分詞,省略as之后的主語和動(dòng)詞be作為從句,是相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)潔的表現(xiàn)方式,多見于新聞?dòng)⒄Z中。要注意的是如果時(shí)制和主句不同,be動(dòng)詞部分不能省略。例如論斯里蘭卡政局者說該國(guó)的權(quán)力曾經(jīng)多次證明不是通過勞動(dòng)階級(jí)所能取得:The way to power in Sri Lanka is not through the working class, as has been proved time and time again.主句中用現(xiàn)在時(shí)制,從句中非用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)制不可,雖然略去了作為從句主語之it.再看:A spokesman said about ten targets were struck as planned.“一如原定計(jì)劃”,as planned足矣。
