Unit1 Tales of the unexplained
语言探究篇
Welcome to the unit
1. The world we live in is full of mysteries unsolved even by today's advanced science and technology.我们生存的世界充满了甚至当今先进的科技都尚未解开的谜.
【句法分析】此句是含有两个后置定语的简单句,一个是定语从句we live in, 修饰The world,一个是过去分词短语unsolved even by today's advanced science and technology,修饰mysteries.
【语法点拨】过去分词短语作定语,与所修饰的先行词在逻辑上构成被动关系.
如:
①一个充满了人的房a room filled with people
②交通事故中受伤的人the man injured in the accident
③飓风中毁掉的房 the houses destroyed in the hurricane
④信中提到的那个人the person referred to in the letter
