语法点 Grammar Points

1.A对B（不）好：用“对”提示A和B之间的关系，A行为是否影响B。例如：

A is (not) good for B: “对” is used to indicate the relationship between A and B, whether the actions of A influence B or not. For example:

喝茶对身体好。

Drinking tea is good for your health.

在黑黑的房间里看手机对眼睛不好。

Looking at your phone in a room with no light is bad for your eyes.

跑步对身体好不好？

Is running good for our health?

 

2.“别……了”：“别”是否定副词，意思是“不”，可以和“了”构成表示命令或请求的句子。例如：

“别……了”: “别” is an adverb of negation meaning “don’t”. It is used together with “了” to form sentences expressing an order or a request. For example:

别吃了。

Don’t eat it.

别说了。

Stop saying (that).

别再看这些东西了。

Don’t read this kind of stuff anymore.

 

 3.“的”字短语：动词可以加“的”构成“的”字短语，其功能相当于一个名词，可以做主语和宾语。例如：

The 的-phrase: verbs can be paired with “的” to form the 的-phrase, which acts just like a noun and can serve as a subject or an object. For example:

莎莉说的没错。

What Sally said is right.

你看的是什么报纸？

What’s the newspaper you read?

你给的不是我想要的。

What you gave me is not what I wanted.

 

4.“睡一觉”：“睡觉”中间可以插入其他成分，如“一”“个”“一会儿”“一个小时”等。例如：

“睡一觉”: other components may be added in the middle of “睡觉”, like “一”, “个”, “一会儿”, “一个小时”, etc. For example:

我有点儿累了，中午想回家睡一觉。

I’m a bit tired, I want to go back home at noon to take a nap.

他每天中午都睡一个小时觉。

He sleeps for one hour every day at noon.

中午睡一会儿觉对身体好。

Sleeping a little bit at noon is good for our health.

 

5.连词“所以”：可以和“因为”构成一组表示因果关系的关联词，把两个在意义上有因果关系的句子组合在一起，构成因果关系的复句。表示原因的分句在前面时，“因为”可以省略。例如：

The causal conjunction“所以”: “所以” and “因为” form a pair of connectors which indicate cause and effect. They connect two sentences which semantically have a cause and effect relationship and turn them into cause and effect clauses. If the clause containing the cause is in the front, “因为” may be omitted. For example:  

（因为）公司的人不多，所以非常忙。

(Because) there aren’t many people working at the company, (so) I’m very busy.

（因为）我喜欢学习中文，所以我来到了中国。

(Because) I like learning Chinese, (so) I came to China.

（因为）这件衣服很便宜，所以我买了两件。

(Because) this garment is very cheap, (so) I bought two pieces.
