問:以下一句,and their impressions的and是「以及」的意思嗎?── Ask anyone about Ocean Park and their impressions may range from it being a fascinating kingdom of marine life to a place full of interesting amusement rides。
答:那個and不可解作「以及」。And字用在Come here(你過來)、Listen(你聽)等不用主詞(subject)的祈使句(imperative sentence)之後,有「假如你……那就……」的意思,等於If you..., then...。改譯標準本《聖經.路加福音》第十一章耶穌的話可作例子:Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you(你只要請求,就會得到;搜尋,就會尋獲;敲門,門就會為你而開)。謹再舉一例:Work harder, and you will be better paid(努力一點,你的工錢就會多一點)。
(1)Ten more minutes, and it will explode/ and it will be Christmas(再過十分鐘,就會爆炸/就是聖誕節)。
(2)One false step and you are dead(你走錯一步,就會沒命)。
問:Injury和wound兩字,有什麼分別?
答:這兩個字都可以指身體所受創傷,但injury多指意外事故之中所受的傷,而wound則多指遭武器攻擊所受的傷,例如:
(1)He had a bullet wound in his back(他背部被子彈所傷)。
(2)He suffered a back injury in the car crash(他在撞車事故之中,背部受傷)。
