"By 2050, the proportion of children under 15 is predicted to drop in both countries, most noticeably in Yemen where the figure is expected to fall by 13.1%."
類似的問題我常發生,不知道是不是文法上能補強那一塊,這句話我雖然看得懂,但我自己卻寫不出來,每次看到那個"to"就覺得很卡....
如果是我寫,會變成
"By 2050, the proportion of children under 15 is predicted dropping in both countries, most noticeably in Yemen where the figure is expected to fall by 13.1%."
"By 2050, the proportion of children under 15 is predicted that proporition of both countries will drop , most noticeably in Yemen where the figure is expected to fall by 13.1%."
另外一個例子
"Excited moms are eager to have their children come home"
可以寫成像這樣嗎?
"Excited moms are eager about their children coming home"
or
"Excited moms are eager that their children have come home"
另外一個例子
"Excited moms are eager to have their children come home"
可以寫成像這樣嗎?
"Excited moms are eager about their children coming home"
or
"Excited moms are eager that their children have come home"
1. dropping可能在此處不適合
ReplyDelete2. 用that 子句可以
3. 在適當的上下文中,to + verb 有未來式的涵意,所以此處有"預估將會下降"的意思
1. 強調動作，「要」他們的孩子回家
2. 強調事實，急著「要他們的孩子回家」這件事
3. 句意有點奇怪：「他們的孩子回到家了，媽媽們還是很急」
那底下的"to"呢?
