剑桥雅思4,TEST1的小作文范文,有一处语法求讲解.
It is noticeable that for both types of household with children,a higher than average proportion were living in poverty at this time.
这句话什么意思啊……为什么用were而不是单数呢?
a 【higher than average】proportion of 【X】中
这个【X】才是决定谓语动词的关键.
a .proportion of 【households】 were living in poverty.
.高于平均比例的【家庭】生活在贫困当中.
当语句的意思被理解的时候,语法的辨析也变得豁然开朗.也就说proportion后面省略了of them，从句谓语对应的是both types of household with children，是这个意思吧？省略了of them你说对了，但是them指代的是households （with children）从文意角度：因为我没看前后文，所以中文意思大致应该是：值得注意的是，在这两种【有孩子的家庭】中，有高于平均比例的【家庭households】生活在贫困当中。而不是。。。有高于平均比例的【种类types】生活在贫困当中。从语法角度：实质还是households were living in poverty而不是types【of household with children 仅仅是types的修饰成分 】，因为types were living是错误的说法，而且注意介词【for】 for both types of household with children这不是句子的主干而只是一个限定成分。主干句应该是：It it noticeable that a proportion（of households）were living in property.举个例子吧，值得注意的是，在这两种【有不良习惯的人】中，有高于平均比例的【人】罹患癌症。
