讓你英文寫作瞬間高大上的100個句型(第一期)
我們今天繼續學習老外都會常用的地道句型表達。
Attribute A to B把A歸因於B。
這個句型通常用來表達原因和結果的關係。我們可以粗略理解為因為B,所以A。
這個句型還有一個更常用的表達法。
A be attributed to B.
比如,
他將中國的成功歸因於幸運,而我將中國的成功歸因於中國人民的努力奮鬥。He attributed china's success to luck while I thought china's success was attributed to the hard work of Chinese people.他們把失敗的原因歸結到我的粗心上面。They attributed the failure to my carelessness.失敗並不是因為我的粗心而導致的。The failure is not attributed to my carelessness.
2. It is no use+ doing...
即使......也沒有用
「做什麼事情沒有用/沒有價值/沒有意義」都可以用這個句型來表達。
表達相似的含義,我們還可以用以下幾個句型:
It is no use to do...It is useless + that...There is no use in doing...
撒謊是沒有用的。It is no use telling a lie.It's no use to tell a lie.It is useless that you tell a lie.There is no use in telling a lie.
就算再做一次也是沒有用的。It is no use trying again.It's no use to try again.It's useless not you try again.There is no use in trying again.
3. Be worth doing something.
值得做......
這裡的worth是一個形容詞,表示「值......錢的」
比如,
這輛汽車值15萬。This car is worth 150,000.
句型例句,這家公司值得去參觀一下。This company is worth visiting.
這輛車值得購買。This car is worth buying.
我們還可以用另外一個句型,表達同樣的含義。
It is worthwhile to do something.要做......的價值
那輛車值得購買。It's worthwhile to buy that car.歐洲旅遊值得一去。It's worthwhile to take a trip to europe.這家公司值得參觀。It's worthwhile to visit this company.老何好書推薦:
