Unit5 What an adventure知识点总结(三)
1. Conseil and I remained near each other, as if an exchange of words had possible through
our metal cases, I no longer felt the weight of my clothes, or of my shoes, of my air supply,
or my thick helmet, inside which my head shook like a nut in its shell. (P57)
remain 动词,“停留;留在”,此处为不及物动词。如:
They have asked the residents to remain in their homes.
它还有引申义,意为“继续存在,让然存在; 剩余”,如:
The wider problem remains. 更广泛的问题依然存在。
Major questions remain to be answered about his work. 关于他的工作的主要问题仍有待于回答。(此处sth. remains to be done 表示某事有待于去(被)做)
It remains to be seen (=It will only be known later) whether you are right.
你说的对不对还有待于证实。(该句中it为形式主语,真正的主语为whether you are
right从句)
I feel sorry for her, but the fact remains that she lied to us. 我为她感到难过,可事实是她对我们撒了谎。(该句中的that she lied to us其实是the fact的同位语,remain是不及物动词,但是英语中为了避免头重脚轻,主语太长,就把从句放到后头去了,这种情况要适应。)
