The group consisting of 8 people voted in unison that Barbara was guilty.
请教老师,句子介词短语in unison等于副词,是吗? 它是修饰谓语动词vote的,可否移置到句末变为:The group consisting of 8 people voted that Barbara was guilty in unison?或者移动到其他地方?比如:
The group consisting of 8 people in unison voted that Barbara was guilty 等等。
谢谢老师。
The group consisting of 8 people voted in unison that Barbara was guilty.
in union等于unanimously,为方法状语。方法状语的正常地方为及物动词的宾语之后。因为英语句子有”尾重“的原则,马上结构复杂的结构放在句末以使行文流畅,所以当宾语带有非常长的定语或宾语本身是个从句时,方法状语就置于宾语之前,更准确的说宾语后移(postponed)至方法状语之后。偶尔,介词短语作方法状语至于谓语和主语之间,此时一般需要用逗号隔开:主语,in union, voted that...。
in union放在that从句之后是应该防止的。
