c.方式副詞(短語)

1)概說

1657 大多數方式副詞都是形容詞後加詞尾-ly構成:

quickly carefully traditionally

faithfully luckily internationally

但有些以-ly結尾的詞是由名詞加詞尾構成,是形容詞:

queenly soldierly friendly

beggarly worldly heavenly

cowardly scholarly miserly

這樣的詞不是副詞,因此不能說 She walked queenly.而要說She walked in a queenly manner.不能說 He treats me friend-ly.而要說 He treats me in a friendly way.但是以-ly結尾的形容詞有時直接用作副詞,而不再加-ly,以避免不協調的聲音:

We have acted manly(不要說 manlily) in these circumstances.

He died untimely(不要說 untimelily).

The army retreated orderly.

1658 有少數表示方式的副詞性短語可以用方式副詞代替:

He treats John with kindness(= kindly).

He speaks Japanese with fluency(=fluently).

I can do it with ease(=easily).

They marched off in triumph(= triumphantly).

He has told you in private(=privately).

By good luck(= Luckily) I find the thing I lost.

He sent the letter by mistake (=mistakenly).

He deceived me on purpose(= purposely).

He screamed like a fool(=foolishly).

但多數這類短語不能用副詞代替:

He comes of a rich family.

He failed because of his negligence.

It is made by John.

He was killed with a stone.

It is made of iron.

He is starved to death.

We wished for peace.

He went out in spite of the rain.

Plants will die without water.

1659 表示方式的短語相當大一批是由介詞引起的,如1658中所給的例子。另一大批爲地點副詞,亦稱副詞性小品詞,常可用在動詞成語中,表示方式而不是表示地點。有些地點副詞跟在不及物動詞後(參閱1346)。

He drew up(=stopped) before a store.

Hold on(= Wait) a second, please.

The machine broke down(=didn't work properly).

Things work out(=develop) badly.

He didn't show up(= appear).

The couple split up(=ended their relationship) just an hour after their wedding.

He turned in(= went to bed) at eleven.

Speak up(=speak in a loud voice).

有些則跟在及物動詞後面:

We put on(=presented) a show.

He turned down(=refused) my application.

Don't hold up(=delay) the traffic.

You made up(=invented) the story.

I'll take on(=undertake) the task.

We have to put off(=postpone) the trip.

還有一些跟在不及物動詞後,後面再跟一個介詞:

She came around to(=agreed to) my views.

She went in for(=got interested in)photography.

I have to fall back upon(= depend upon) his support.

We stand up for(= support) his policy.

1660 特別值得注意的是一些單音節形容詞,可以有兩個副詞形式,一個帶詞尾-ly,一個不帶-ly。這類副詞,有些兩種形式意思相同,但用法不同。帶-ly的副詞可以用在所修飾的動詞前面或後面,而不帶-ly的副詞通常緊跟在一個特定的單音節動詞後,與這個動詞構成一種習用語

3.副詞(短語)的位置

a.有關7類副詞(短語)位置的特別規律

1665 當副詞(短語)修飾動詞以外的其他詞時,它的位置很容易確定。但在修飾動詞時,其位置卻不易確定,它可以放在主語前面、助動詞前面、主要動詞前面、及物動詞賓語的前面、補語前面、動詞後面、賓語後面或補語後面。在一個特定的句子中,只有一個或兩個這類位置,從語法或修辭角度上考慮是最好的。例如在

—John—will—lend—me—his bicycle—. 中,tomorrow只適宜放在一二個位置上,而不是很多位置上。

下面所給“規律”只是一些建議,因爲特定的副詞(短語)有特殊的習慣用法,宜於放在某個特定的位置,有些還會隨着作者的特殊意圖有特殊的位置。

1666 爲了決定副詞(短語)的位置,我們把它們分作7類,而不是5類:

1)地點副詞(短語):there,forward,ashore;in Japan,at the station,on high

2)時間副詞(短語):yesterday,ago,yet;on Sunday,this evening,for five days,from 1950 till 1960,since last Januray

3)頻度副詞(短語):often,rarely;from time to time

4)肯定副詞(短語):surely, definitely,probably;no doubt

5)程度副詞(短語):greatly,partially;beyond measure,to some degree

6)方式副詞(短語):slowly,sadly;at a low price,in jest

7)疑問副詞(短語): where?why?how?when?for what reason?in which room?

圖解:

{ewc MVIMAGE,MVIMAGE, !4F6319T1.bmp}

不管tomorrow在句中位置如何,它在圖解中的位置不變。

1)地點副詞(短語)

1667 地點副詞(短語)可以:

a)放在主語前面。能用在這個位置的副詞很少,但可用在這個位置的副詞短語卻很多:

Outside,the wind is blowing. Here I airs they are gambling.

In Japan everybody works behind a voice said,“good morning” the west lay a large villa.

Into the city I've never driven this car.(這是錯句,否定謂語不能放在表示方向的狀語後面,而應放在前面,應當說:I've never driven this car into the city.)

爲了強調可以放在主語前面的副詞有:off,up,away,over, down,out, in,back,round, on, above,along,about, below,inside,outside

Off went John. Off John he(代詞) went.(但不可說Off went he.)

Down fell the vase. Away he d and round flew the bird.

Up you jump! In you go!

Up with the King!Down with Fascism!Off with his head!Away with you!

可以放在不及物動詞及主語前面。用在這個位置的副詞爲there,here,還有一些表示地點的短語,後面跟有以下不及物動詞:be,come, go,follow,stand,sit,lie,remain,live, enter, appear, happen, arise, take place,然後跟有一個可能較長的表示人或物的主語:

There is a haunted house. There is a haunted house there (or here).(第一個 there沒有特別意義,第二個there 或here表示地點。)

There entered on old man who was over eighty years old but looked very healthy and strong.(較長主語)

Here stands a hero of our country. Here comes the car!

Here lies my e goes Jane!(但不能說There goes she!)

At the end of the wood( there) lies a around the hut(there) grew many beautiful the centre of the hall(there) stood a round out at sea(there)came a fishing-boat.

b)放在主要動詞前時極少。

c)放在及物動詞後,放在賓語之前或之後。可放在這個位置的副詞爲a)中所列off,up,away等詞。如果賓語較長並受到強調,副詞要放在它前面,如果賓語爲代詞,副詞則必須放在它後面:

He put on his coat. He put his coat on.

I picked up the book.I picked the book up.

She gave away her gave it away.(不可說She gave away it.)

He poured me out some tea.(不可說 some tea out)

She sent him off a gift(不可說 a gift off)

(句中有一間接賓語)

She took out “the eggs,butter, cakes and other things.”

He picked up“the money he had thrown away when he had been angry”.

He will bring back to me“the radio-set he borrowed last week”.

(副詞必須放在較長的賓語前面)

Drink your wine ch the light the cigar out.

Take everything your hat off.(在祈使句中這類副詞常放在句末)

I put down(= wrote down) his name. He took over(=assumed control of)the saw through(=were not deceived by) his trick.

We carried the project through(=We completed it successfully,put it into practice) laughed the criticism away(=He ignored it).

(“及物動詞+地點副詞”常常構成成語,並不表示位置。這種成語有時也可分開,如最後兩句的情況。)

如果一個表示地點的副詞(短語)和一個表示方向的副詞(短語)一起用在一個謂語後面,表示方向的副詞(短語)應放在表示地點的副詞(短語)前面,它們之間不用and,or這類連詞:

We drove from west to east in the city(但不可說We drove in the city from west to east.也不可說 from west to east and in the city)

如果謂語後跟有兩個表示地點的副詞(短語),表示較大地點的副詞(短語)要放在表示較小地點的副詞(短語)後面,如果要把其中一個放在主語前面,應將表示較大地點的副詞(短語)提前:

They can kiss on the street in the U.S.(但不可說 in the the street)

In the can kiss on the street.(但不可說Onthe street they can kiss in the U.S.)

如果有幾個表示方向的副詞(短語),則可按事物發生的順序安排:

From Eighth Street we proceeded past the Grand Hotel to the park,and then turn to the west.

如果副詞(短語)表示賓語(而不是主語)的位置,它們應放在賓語後面:

I keep the tools on the rack.

We arranged a picnic in Mary's backyard.

I like a vacation by the seaside.

Everybody expects a revolt from all directions.

This fine climate attracts us to this country.

d)放在謂語後面時最多(即放在不及物動詞、補語、或及物動詞的賓語後面):

He went this train arrived at my town.

He climbed to the top of the tree.

He feels lonely in a foreign stars look small at a great distance.

Hang your coat over there.I met him downtown.

Now came John and many t came came another followed an excited dialogue.

During the summer there broke out a great accident.

He seldom goes to the movies.

John has sometimes written to Mary.

I shall always remember what you have done for me.

1676 3)如果動詞爲be,則副詞(短語)通常都放在be和補語之間:

He is,no doubt,a good doctor.

The amount is,in all probability,the same as before.

He is,to some extent(or in a way), a famous musician.

He is rarely sick.

He is always late.

副詞(短語)也可用在被動結構中,位置在be和過去分詞之間:

It will be altogether workers were fully is earnestly hoped that… The war is need- lessly prolonged.

1677 4)如果有幾類副詞(短語)一起用,它們的順序可安排如下:

肯定 地點 方式 頻度 時間

He probably went to Japan by air twice in 1962.

We met there unexpectedly last Monday.

He's certainly gone abroad with his wife recently.

I studied in London under Mr.A for a year.

1678 5)如果有兩個時間狀語,表示較小單位時間的狀語宜放在較大單位時間的前面:

I will meet you at three o'clock tomorrow.I saw the film on Tuesday evening last week.

如果較大單位時間比較重要,或較小單位時間是後來想起的,則其順序也可以顛倒:

I arrived yesterday afternoon,about five o' and I got married in 1968,in the month of July.

1679 6)有兩個地點狀語時,較小的單位一般放在前面,但有時也不如此,其順序往往根據文體或句子平衡的需要來安排:

He lived at a small village in a northern spent the holidays at a cottage in the spent the holidays in the mountains,at a cottage we rented from a friend.

1680 7)最好不要把所有的狀語放在一個地方:

I returned “to the village”“ by train”“before dark”“one day”.(不好)

“One day before dark” I returned “to the village”“ by train.”(較好)

1681 8)如果把幾個狀語放在一起,通常宜於把最短的放在前面,把最長的放在最後:

He arrived“silently”“after all his companions” slept “soundly”“on a very large bed” sat“down”“by mistake”“on the back of a sleeping crocodile”.

“Tomorrow” “at five” “when it begins to dawn”, I shall go to a distant city. I shall stay “here”“for three days ” “while the festival is going on”.“Yesterday”“just before breakfast”“when I was writing a letter”, Mr.A called at my house.(先是單詞,然後是短語,最後是從句。)

1682 9)像refer to,insist on, beware of;play hell with,take care of,lay stress on;live up to,put up with, look down on;line up,get along,fool about,carry on, give forth,gamble away這樣的成語最好不要分開:

He has always firmly and passionately believed in manners.(比 believed firmly and passionately in manners.好)

He depends upon his uncle for his education.(比depends for his education upon his uncle好)

she looks patiently after the baby.(中間有時可插入短的狀語)

1683 10)包含 this,that, like, such, so, thus, the這類詞的狀語,和其他與前面句子或段落有關的狀語,最好放在主語前面:

Just at that moment,a man such a sight,they all this manner he they I do they started the he r the war, many were like manner they were what has been said,this theory is very easy to understand.

1684 11)放在動詞前的狀語帶有裝飾性,有時可以省掉,而放在動詞後面的狀語比較強調,更爲重要:

They suddeny attacked attacked us suddenly.

We quietly went went away quietly.

I immediately corrected it.I corrected it immediately.

I often go to the pictures.I go to the pictures very often.

1685 12)一個狀語,爲了強調而加以重複時,必須放在句子前面:

She decides to go tomorrow,and tomorrow she must go.

She cried sorrowfully,and sorrowfully everyone sighed.

John learned Chinese with difficulty,and with difficulty he had learned everything.

( is as happy as happy(形容詞)can moth- er thinks I must have a wife,wife(名詞)I must have.)

1686 13)最好不要把狀語放在兩個動詞之間,以免意思含糊不清。下面句子都不妥當,需要改正。例如在第一個句子中,如果immediately修飾第一個動詞,那它應當放在wrote的前面,反之,如果它修飾第二個動詞,它就應當放在 tell the news後面:

I wrote immediately to tell him the news.

I have telephoned to him three times to come.(最好說 I have three times telephoned to him to come.或是說 I have telephoned to him to come three times.)

To inform him immediately I rang him up.(在 immediately之後應加一逗號)

下面例句是正確的:

My son now and then asked(×) to follow me to the earnestly hoped(×) to see kindly suggested(×) taking care of my little candidly admitted(×) having gone out with her boyfriend.(“×”表示狀語不宜放的位置。)

1687 14)如果主要動詞前有兩個助動詞,修飾整個句子的副詞(特別是頻度及肯定副詞)要放在兩個助動詞之間,而修飾主要動詞的副詞(特別是方式副詞)應放在這個動詞的前面:

a) Tigers have often been discovered in this area.

You can never have seen such a beautiful place.

He will probably be made President of the Company.

He has surely been punished for his offence.

He may,unfortunately,be killed by robbers.

b) This decision will be publicly announced.

I would have carefully done it,if it had been useful.

He must have seriously considered this matter.

1688 15)要使副詞(短語)儘可能靠近它修飾的動詞:

We went to deserted village almost ten miles away from the capital yesterday.(不好)

We went yesterday to…capital.(較好)

Yesterday a guest who had come from a distant country called on me.(不好)

A guest…me yesterday.(較好)

Immediately,he told me to leave his house.(不好)

He told me to leave his house immediately.(較好)

1689 16)某些副詞,如 only, alone, also, too, even,可能只與某個詞有關,應儘量使之靠近這個詞:

Only John(n.)(Nobody else) saw Mary there two days ago.

John only saw(v.)Mary(did not talk with her) there two days ago.

John saw only Mary(n.)( not anybody else) there two days ago.

John saw Mary only there(adv.)(not in any other place) two days ago.

John saw Mary there only two days ago(adv-phrase) (not more than two days ago).

He alone( Nobody else) loves her.

1690 17)一個包含否定詞(或有否定意義的詞)的副詞(短語)可以放在“助動詞+主語+主要動詞”的前面來加以強調:

(否定的時間副詞或短語)

No to anyone have I said anything.(正確)

不過,要是一個短語,雖然包含否定詞,卻沒有否定意義,句子仍用正常語序:

Not long(= A short time)ago I still saw him.(不要說did I still see him.)

Not many(= A few) months later, he came again.

Not infrequently(=Often) he told me the same story.

(也可說 did he tell…)

Not only she agreed,but also her husband said “yes”.

(也可說 Not only did she agree…)

儘管副詞(短語)並不是否定的,間或也可有“副詞(短語)+助動詞+主語+主要動詞”這樣的語序:

In vain have I written all these articles.

From time to time has he said that,but nobody cares.

Still more was I impressed with her manners.

Many a night did John wait for her at the corner.

Of the fifty students,can only five pass this year.

1691 18)副詞(短語),特別是地點和時間副詞(短語),可以放在表示“存在”、“出現”、“發生”等的不及物動詞前面,而主語(第一次出現的東西或加以強調的東西)放在後面(參閱1667 a),1668 a)):地點副詞(短語):
