英语句子解析
我做了两句改被动语态的题,原句我就不写了.
1)the annual speech day at fairfield comprenensive school was attended by hundreds of pupils and parents.
2)parents and visitors were welcomed by the headmaster,mr h.g.barlow in a short,opening speech.
我想问的是为什么第一句地点就放在了主语后面而第二句地点就放在了最后啊?

Answer 1

第一句at fairfield comprenensive school用来修饰the annual speech day 的,所以放在它的后面,如果放在句子的最后面会引起歧义,你会不知道这个地点是修饰哪个名词短语的.当然也有放在句子最后面的情况,但是这种情况下,通常都不会引起歧义.
第二句没有看到有表示地点的短语,句末只有in a short, opening speech这个短语,它是修饰the headmaster这个词的,如果放在前面,句子的意思就完全不对了.
