Everybody but Jane knows the answer.
问题描述:
Everybody but Jane knows the answer.
Everybody为何是主语?
Everybody but also Jane ____ the answer.
以上这句know用什么形式呢?这句还是Everybody为主语吗?
作何翻译?上下两句有什么不同吗?
答
Everybody but Jane knows the answer.
除了Jane以外其他人都知道答案.
but 是“除了……以外”的意思.
这句主语是everybody,know同时是everybody和Jane的谓语,但是know与but使用的话是就近原则,和Jane搭配,所以必须用knows.
