6. 前置词、连词和感叹词在句中的用法和解析
6.1 前置词用于与其宾语一起构成短语:例如——
(1) There is rest for the weary.
(2) Under her torn hat glowed with the wealth
Of simple beauty and [of] rustic health.s
通过前置词与宾语组成的词组用术语称为前置词短语(prepositional phrase)(这是为了区分于分词短语。)。
在解析前置的前置词的时候,需解析下列内容:
(1) 话语部分的名称。
(2) 指出它连接那两个单词——首先命名宾语。
解析模型示例:
Around the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran.
around…………….前置词,连接名词“rocks”与动词“ran”。
