“A-is-to-B-what-C-is-to-D.”句型分析.pptVIP

* * A is to B what C is to D 句型分析 1.基本句式 句型1: A is to B what C is to D. 本句型的意思是“A对B而言正如C对D一样”。其中what = as,作连词用,引导状语从句。 Air is to us what water is to fish. =Air is to us as water is to fish. ——介词to表示对比 空气对于我们犹如水对于鱼。 句型2: What C is to D, that A is to B. 本句型意思也是“A对B而言正如C对D一样”。what引导的从句放在句首时,从句后面的主句前必须添加that,其句式是“What..., that...”; 就像as引导的从句放在句首时, 从句后面的主句前常添加so一样, 其句式是“As..., so...”。此外, as放在句首时,常用just来强调。形成了“Just as..., so...”句型。 What exercise is to the body, that reading is to the mind. = Just as exercise is to the body, so reading is to the mind. 注意:句式⑴能与句式⑵互相转换。如: What blood vessel is to a man’s body, that railway is to a country. = Railway is to a country what blood vessel is to a man’s body. 读书对于精神犹如运动对于身体一样。 铁路对于国家好比血管对于人体一样。
