大家好，昨天後來在另一個論壇有後續回應了 https://goo.gl/ta2j7k 不過對於他的回應我有不懂的地方orz ------ 針對這句話： your very best — 'level' and 'best' being adjectives. (註：上述的'level' and 'best'應該是'level' and 'very'才對，我一開始打錯， 導致後來網友回答的引用也跟著錯。 後來我有在論壇裡說明這個筆誤了，所以底下回應中的'best'請自行在腦海中改為'very') 我問： I don't understand why there is a 'being' there. Is it reduced from something? Could you tell me its grammar point? 網友Mister Micawber答： 'Being' just heads a non-finite clause complementing 'level' and 'best'. 他舉例： My brother, being an airline pilot, is away from home most of the time. ---------- 1.想問的是，上述的head在朗文辭典有兩個我認為可能合適的解釋： a. to be in charge of a team, government, organization etc b. to be at the top of a list or group of people or things 我傾向是第一個解釋，也就是「引導、引領」的意思，不知是否正確呢？ 2.回答中的complementing 'level' and 'best'指的是a non-finite clause還是 'Being'？ 換句話說，指下列的哪一個呢？ a. 'Being' just heads a non-finite clause, and 'Being' complements 'level' and 'best'. b. 'Being' just heads a non-finite clause, and the non-finite clause complements 'level' and 'best'. ('Being' just heads a non-finite clause which complements 'level' and 'best'.) 已經在那邊提問了，不過對方還沒有回應，因此想先來請教各位。謝謝！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.25.219.184 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1517636137.A.961.html

網友回應了，果然l10nel大說的一樣，head是語法學的專有名詞！ 另外第二題的回答，也確實是B！ --------- Head Definition: A head is a constituent of an endocentric construction that, if standing alone, could perform the syntactic function of the whole construction. It may govern the: agreement of grammatical categories, such as person and number, or occurrence of other constituents. Examples: (English) In the following construction, the noun 'chair' heads the noun phrase. It also determines number on the verb: The wooden chairs in the corner are finished. In the following construction, the verb 'given' heads the verb phrase 'would have given'. It also determines the occurrence of a direct object and indirect object later in the clause: Mary would have given Bill a dictionary. http://www.glossary.sil.org/term/head ---------- ※ 編輯: scju (114.25.219.184), 02/03/2018 19:34:40
