限定用法,補述用法

在文法書講解限定用法的地方看到以下練習

#1句子組合

"The new stadium will be opened next month.(It can hold 90,000 people.)"

根據answer key, 參考答案為
"The new stadium, which can hold 90,000 people, will be opened next month"
我知道這是類似同位語的補述

但是否在不同的情境下,可以用以下的寫法
"The new stadium which can hold 90,000 people will be opened next month" 
例如有個國家正在申辦奧運,一次蓋了一堆新的體育館,此時我如果希望指名指名是可以裝90000人的那個體育館,而非當同位語補述,是否就可以用"限定用法"???

#2

類似的問題,
"I was looking for a book this morning. I've found it now"
參考答案為
"I've found the book which I was looking for"

但如果此時,我認為大家都知到書不見了,一講找到書大家就知道是那本找到了,那我是否又可以用補述的方式說
"I've found the book, which I was looking for"

would

原文:http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_24485523/planning-trip-ask-crowd

為何底下會用would呢 ?

#1
如果是我寫,可能就直接寫
"Katz and his wife sat down  xxxxxxx"

Crowdsourced travel site Gogobot was born out of Travis Katz's nightmarish experience planning trips while living in London. Katz and his wife would sit down in front of the computer to plan a trip "and pretty soon the sun had gone down. Headache, bloodshot eyes, and really not any smarter about where we were going," he said.

#2
如果是我寫,可能就直接寫 "she is nervous"
Haupt cautions that crowdsourcing in a digital community has its limitations, and she would be nervous "to rely on strangers online to give me personalized advice."

Yet even as the effects of

原文:http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/climate-weather/blogs/climate-refugee-seeks-asylum-in-new-zealand

Yet even as the effects of global warming gnaw at Kiribati's 32 tiny atolls, an early skirmish over the country's predicament — and perhaps that of many coastal communities around the world — is unfolding hundreds of miles away in New Zealand. There, a man from Kiribati is seeking asylum as a climate change "refugee," arguing the encroaching ocean has forced him, his wife and their three children to find a new home on higher ground.

看不懂"Yet even as the effects of "這個寫法,如果是我,可能會寫
 As the effects of global warming gnaw at Kiribati's 32 tiny atolls, an early skirmish over the country's predicament — and perhaps that of many coastal communities around the world — is unfolding hundreds of miles away in New Zealand

I wish...would

在Cambridge文法書中講解 "I wish...would "的部分

常用在形容希望某是發生(但目前沒發生)

例如:

[Sarah現在不在,但我希望她出現]

I wish Sarah would come.(I want her to come)

I wish Sarah were here now.

但確不能用"I wish Sarah would be".

另外看到有個範例
"I wish the baby would stop crying"
此時卻可以用
"I wish the baby would be quiet"

我的問題是為何"I wish Sarah would be here"不能用?
但又為何能用"I wish the baby would be quiet"?

it is always the outliers

原文:http://articles.latimes.com/2013/oct/12/autos/la-fi-adv-hy-self-driving-cars-20131013

The challenge for automakers will be programming cars to navigate complicated and unexpected conditions, Sierhuis said. "It is always the outliers — the very complex traffic situations that are hard to imagine and hard to test — that are difficult," he said.

看得懂大意:
"Sierhuis 認為完整的導航功能和突發狀況的處理是一大挑戰, 他說 "預測這些複雜的交通情形是非常困難的"

但我看不懂"It is always the outliers "在這邊是什麼意思

be concerned with

原文:CAMBRIDGE IELTS 3

"be concerned with" =>與...有關
所以底下的例句可以重組為
"one is concerned with the particular individual  in the analysis of any situation is usually given the name of focal person."

可以解釋成
"和the particular individual 有關的那個人被稱為focal person"
那個 particular individual? =>情境分析中的那個特定individual.
而the particular individual可以被解釋成"受到關注的個體"
所以這句可以解釋成
在做情境分析時,特別受到關注的個體稱為focal person


Any individual in any situation occupies a role in relation to other people. The particular individual with whom one is concerned in the analysis of any situation is usually given the name of focal person. He has the focal role and can be regarded as sitting in the middle of a group of people, with whom he interacts in some way in that situation. This group of people is called his role set. 

oppose的用法

原問題出處:
http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1395831217.A.E5C.html


Some people ____ the death penalty because they think it is cruel and against

human rights.

A.object to  B. disagree  C.oppose  D.oppose to  E.are opposed to


答案是 A.C.E

想請問各位前輩們 D.oppose to 為什麼不行? 那 E 被動 又要加to?


----------

object to:反對

disagree:為不及物動詞,使用上可能會需要withc或on, 另也需考量句意上是否合理

oppose:為及物動詞,後面可直接加受詞"death penalty",不需要+to,所以oppose to 就不能用,但及物動詞可改寫成形容詞的形式 "被動+to",所以 "are opposed to 就可以使用"
