有个英语句子不会
and if 和if有什么区别
You haven't been around much lately.这里的much怎么翻译
You and Dr.Philip Stewart -- going to the children's ward once or twice a week and reading to them请问扩折号后边作名词的补足语吗

Answer 1

and if 本身并不是词组,没有特别的含义,用and if 只说明and连接了两句话.
much修饰的是around,表示around的程度；lately则是状语修饰整句,表示“最近“.
所以并不是much lately的组合,而是around much 或 eating much（下例）
you haven't been around much (lately).你最近[不怎么]在家.句子里的[不怎么]就是much的作用,否则就成了我最近都不在家.
/ I haven't been eating much (lately).　我最近吃的[不多].
破折号我觉得这里只是起到停顿作用,因为句子是对话里的.
而这句完整的应该是：
How would it be if you took some time to work with Dad towards solving that problem,
like you and Dr.Philip Stewart going to the children's ward once or twice a week and reading to them.
所以 like you and Phillip going to the ward 是like引导的独立主格.整个后半句作补足语,补充说明solving that problem.
