Though he was very young, he knew how to behave well.
倒装后是①还是②:
① Young though he was, he knew how to behave well.
② Very young though he was, he knew how to behave well.
另外,③和④什么是正确的?
③ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing was.
④ Though he was very young, he knew what was the right thing.
又,⑤、⑥、⑦、⑧什么正确?
⑤ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing to do was.
⑥ Though he was very young, he knew what was the right thing to do.
⑦ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing was to do.
⑧ Though he was very young, he knew what was right.
自己瞎想出来的几个问题,回答不了,请不吝赐教!
Though he was very young, he knew how to behave well.
这种句子不是倒装,而是表语前置。
① Young though he was, he knew how to behave well.
② Very young though he was, he knew how to behave well.
表语前置本身就是强调,因此没必要再用very。故第一句正确,第二句欠妥。
③ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing was.
④ Though he was very young, he knew what was the right thing.
这二句均正确,由于这是确认性表语,主语和表语可以互换句法功能。比如:
This is the right thing. 改为问句:What is the right thing? what就主语提问,句子无倒装。去掉问号即为名词性从句what is the right thing
The right thing is this. 改为问句:What is the right thing? what就表语提问,is 倒装。去问号、去倒装,则得到名词性从句what the right thing is
⑤ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing to do was.
⑥ Though he was very young, he knew what was the right thing to do.
以上二句均正确。道理同3、四句,确认性表语。
⑦ Though he was very young, he knew what the right thing was to do.
错误,应改为第5或第6句。
⑧ Though he was very young, he knew what was right.
正确。形容词作归属性表语。
