英语虽是当今的世界语,但依然充斥着歧义句,含糊不清,往往一句两解,不太明确。 英国近代两位文法大师Jocobs与Rosendbaum合著的English Transformational Grammar为我们提供了“一句六解的例句,可说是当代歧义句子之中的最高纪录。
请大家细读这句有史以来最多解法的话:
The Seniors were told to stop demonstrating on campus.
暂时不要往下看,动一动脑筋,看看能列出多少个解法。
自我挑战,学思并重,也是提高中英语文水平的诀窍!
语文巨擘Jocobs与Rosenbaum说:非英语国家的学生能揣摩出三解就已很棒了!你试一试,可能也会觉得趣味盎然。
