You having a problem with complex sentences?

This lesson is about subordinate conjunctions in complex sentences.

本課的主題是複句中的從屬連詞。

I know that's a big mouthful, but if you're an intermediate student to an advanced student, you need to know this.

我知道這是個大口號，但如果你是中級到高級學生，你就必須知道這一點。

When we first learn English, or when you first learn English, me too, I guess, yeah, you learn the simplest sentence ever, which is S-V-O, subject, verb, object.

當我們第一次學習英語時，或者當你第一次學習英語時，我也是，我想，是的，你學到了最簡單的句子，那就是 S-V-O，主語、動詞、賓語。

It's a simple idea, one idea, and it's the basic... the basis of the language, yeah?

這是一個簡單的想法，一個想法，它是語言的基本......基礎，是嗎？

But once you get bigger, you don't say, I like ice cream.

但一旦你長大了，你就不會說 "我喜歡冰淇淋 "了。

I like ice cream because it tastes good, or when I get home, I'll have some ice cream.

我喜歡吃冰激凌，因為它味道好，或者回家後，我會吃一些冰激凌。

Because we have complex brains-complex sentence-we have complex sentences, which means it's a sentence that has an idea and something that helps give you more information about that idea.

因為我們有複雜的大腦--複雜的句子--我們有複雜的句子，這意味著它是一個有想法的句子，還有一些東西可以幫助你獲得關於這個想法的更多資訊。

So, we go from the subject, verb, object, very simple things, right?

所以，我們從主語、動詞、賓語開始，非常簡單，對嗎？

And then we say, and here's some more information about that thing we're talking about, which does two things.

然後我們說，這是關於我們正在談論的那件事的更多資訊，它有兩個作用。

It gives us information that we want to have, and it makes the sentences much more interesting.

它提供了我們想要的資訊，使句子變得更加有趣。

As I said, I like soccer, and I eat ice cream, and I live here, and I go to school.

我說過，我喜歡足球，我吃冰淇淋，我住在這裡，我上學。

But I enjoy eating soccer while I'm watching something on the television, and I...

但我喜歡邊看電視邊吃足球，我...

So, we want to think of a complex sentence, which is a basic idea, you know, basic sentence, subject, verb, object, and we add information to it.

是以，我們要想一個複雜的句子，它是一個基本概念，你知道，基本句子，主語、動詞、賓語，然後我們給它添加資訊。

And today's lesson, we're going to go through, well, this is E's idea.

今天這節課，我們要學習的就是 E 的想法。

A concept is an abstract or a general idea, and E's playing a game here to help you remember all of the ways that we use subordinating conjunctions to make complex sentences.

概念是一個抽象或籠統的概念，E 在這裡玩一個遊戲，幫助你記住我們使用從屬連詞造複雜句子的所有方法。

These are special words that tell us which part of the sentence is adding information to the basic sentence.

這些特殊的詞語告訴我們，句子的哪一部分為基本句子添加了資訊。

All right, so we're going to use one of my favourite people in the whole world as an example on this one, Bitsy.

好吧，我們就以我在這個世界上最喜歡的人之一比特西為例。

Concept, as I said, is a general idea, so we're going to say, well, what is the concept?

概念，正如我所說，是一個籠統的概念，所以我們要說，概念是什麼？

Well, some of you have played this game, and my friend I work with went, you know, most of these people don't speak English, so they don't play this game, and walked out of the  It was embarrassing.

你們中有些人玩過這個遊戲，和我一起工作的朋友就說，你知道，這些人大多不會說英語，所以他們不玩這個遊戲，然後走出了遊戲廳，這很尷尬。

He has a point, so hopefully you've heard of it.

他說得有道理，希望你聽說過。

We have this game, you know, in English-speaking countries where we take these pieces of wood with letters on them, and we mix them around and we make up words.

在英語國家，我們有這樣一個遊戲：我們拿著寫有字母的木片，把它們混在一起，然後組成單詞。

When we make up the word, it's a real word, and you can get points and win the game.

當我們編出這個詞時，它就是一個真正的詞，你可以得到分數，贏得遊戲。

In this case, we're using the Scrabble pieces to help you with this concept, and the concept is subordinating conjunctions.

在這種情況下，我們使用拼字遊戲來幫助你理解這個概念，這個概念就是從屬連詞。

And con in Latin means with or together, okay?

Con 在拉丁語中的意思是 "與 "或 "在一起"，好嗎？

Sept is our idea we're putting together, and the first, and we have C4 because there are four things we want to talk about.

9 月是我們的想法，我們把它放在一起，第一個，我們有 C4，因為有四件事我們想談談。

I'll just label them so you know which are the four, so we've got 1, 2, 3, and 4.

我會給它們貼上標籤，這樣你們就知道哪四個是什麼了，所以我們有 1、2、3 和 4。

The four Cs will start with a reason or a cause.

We use these words to show what we call the dependent clause.

我們用這些詞來表示我們所說的從句。

Remember I told you SVO is the basic part of the sentence?

還記得我說過 SVO 是句子的基本部分嗎？

We would say that's the independent clause.

I like ice cream is a single idea, and we work from that and we can add.

我喜歡冰激凌，這是一個單一的想法，我們以此為基礎開展工作，然後再添加內容。

And I like ice cream while I watch TV, that would be the dependent clause, and that's when we're using the subordinating conjunctions.

我看電視的時候喜歡吃冰淇淋，這就是從句，這時我們就要用到從屬連詞。

So in this case, when we have a reason why we're doing something, why something happened, why it happened, we're going to use words like because or since.

是以，在這種情況下，當我們有理由要做某件事情、某件事情為什麼會發生、為什麼會發生時，我們會使用 "因為 "或 "因為 "這樣的詞。

And we're going to use Bitsy as the person or the little girl we're going to use to help us understand it, because Bitsy loves dessert, and carrots, meh.

我們將用比西這個人或小女孩來幫助我們理解，因為比西喜歡吃甜點，而胡蘿蔔，我不喜歡。

So, Bitsy got her dessert, and we're going to use this subordinating conjunction because, this is the reason, this is why it happened, she ate her carrots.

所以，比特西得到了她的甜點，我們要使用這個從屬連詞，因為，這就是原因，這就是事情發生的原因，她吃了她的胡蘿蔔。

So because Bitsy ate her carrots, she got dessert, and Bitsy's very happy.

因為比特西吃了胡蘿蔔，所以她得到了甜點，比特西非常開心。

On the next one, we have a condition, and you might say, what's a condition?

下一個，我們有一個條件，你可能會說，什麼是條件？

A condition is a situation where something has to happen so something else can happen.

條件是指必鬚髮生某些事情才能發生其他事情的情況。

And now you can understand why we have this basic sentence, and the condition, or what we call the dependent clause, remember, it is needed to give you the information, like what is it I have to do?

現在你可以理解為什麼我們要有這個基本句子了，還有條件句，也就是我們所說的從句，記住，它需要給你提供資訊，比如我必須做什麼？

In this case, daddy said, Bitsy, you can't have your dessert unless you eat all of your  So, Bitsy can't eat dessert unless, and this is the condition, or the subordinating conjunction that we have to use to give you the information.

在這個例子中，爸爸說，比特西，除非你吃完所有的甜點，否則你不能吃甜點 所以，比特西不能吃甜點，除非，這就是條件，或者說我們必須使用的從屬連詞，以提供資訊。

Now, we're going to look at contrast, this, or these words, you notice I've listed them for you, these are some of the first words in English language to teach people, because you have to know the word despite.

現在，我們來看看對比、這個或這些單詞，你注意到我已經給你列出來了，這些都是英語中最先教給人們的一些單詞，因為你必須知道這個詞，儘管。

I don't know the word though, but I'm not teaching that lesson today, but I will tell you contrast is to tell you if you look at something and something happens, or is able to happen, example, if it's raining, you usually cannot play soccer because it's raining.

雖然我不知道這個詞，但我今天不教這門課，但我會告訴你對比就是告訴你，如果你看著某件事情，它就會發生，或者能夠發生，比如，如果下雨了，你通常就不能踢足球，因為下雨了。

But if you say we play soccer although it was raining, we're saying this situation should have stopped us, but we didn't.

但如果你說我們在下雨天踢球，那就意味著這種情況本應阻止我們，但我們沒有。

The contrast is normally we wouldn't do it.

與此形成鮮明對比的是，我們通常不會這樣做。

That's as simple as I'm going to get today, but we'll do a lesson on it, okay?

這就是我今天要講的最簡單的內容，但我們會就此上一課，好嗎？

All right, so, contrast here we're using although, even though, and while.

好了，這裡我們使用了 "雖然"、"儘管 "和 "同時"。

I think we're about to learn something interesting.

我想我們即將瞭解到一些有趣的事情。

Okay, because Bitsy's not doing anything here, and Bitsy's probably going why am I not doing anything?

好吧，因為比特西在這裡什麼都沒做，比特西可能在想為什麼我什麼都沒做？

Because we need to use one of these words, and here's something special.

因為我們需要用到其中一個詞，而這裡有一些特別的東西。

If you have a subordinating conjunction at the beginning of a sentence, you have to use a comma to let people know that this is not the important information, this is the additional or extra information, and the special information is at the end of the sentence.

如果句子開頭有從屬連詞，就必須使用逗號，讓人知道這不是重要資訊，這是附加或額外資訊，特殊資訊在句末。

So, whenever you see a comma and one of these coordinate, sorry, subordinating conjunctions at the front, you'll know that this is the extra information, and the real information is here.

是以，每當你看到逗號和前面的這些協調連詞，對不起，從屬連詞，你就會知道這是額外的資訊，真正的資訊在這裡。

And the one we're going to use right now is this, although.

不過，我們現在要用的是這個。

You could also use even though here, that would work as well, of the three that are here.

你也可以用這裡的三個，但也可以用這裡的三個。

Well, comparison is when you look at two things and see what is the same and what is different, okay?

那麼，比較就是當你觀察兩件事物時，看看哪些相同，哪些不同，好嗎？

We also use our subordinating conjunctions to use comparison.

我們還使用從屬連詞來進行比較。

So, he is taller than her, she is as fast as he is are examples for comparison.

所以，他比她高，她和他一樣快都是比較的例子。

不過，讓我們再來看看比特西。

Well, Bitsy ate more dessert than anyone else.

So, everybody in the room was eating dessert, and they all had four chocolate bars, and Bitsy ate five.

於是，房間裡的每個人都在吃甜點，他們都吃了四塊巧克力，而碧茜吃了五塊。

She's getting bigger now, she's strong, so she can eat more.

她現在長大了，也強壯了，可以吃得更多了。
