情境:最近真的看了太多平板, 而且一直盯著平板看, 沒有讓眼睛好好休息, 今晚看螢幕時, 忽然覺得變模糊了, 這對我這個超高近視的人而言, 真的是一大警訊.
中文:我最近平板看太多了, 造成近視在增加的樣子
英文:I’ve been using the tablet too much recently, which seems to be worsening my nearsightedness.
主要子句: I’ve been using the tablet too much recently → s+vt+o(我要錢句型)
S:I
Vt:use
O:table
形容詞子句:which seems to be worsening my nearsightedness. → s+vi+sc(這是錢句型)
S:which
Vi:seems
Sc:to be worsening my nearsightedness →用不定詞片語當sc
這一個非限定形容詞子句(non-restrictive relative clause)。它的功能是補充說明前面整句 "I’ve been using the tablet too much recently" 所表達的概念。即使不提到 "which seems to be worsening my nearsightedness",句子仍然有意義。
