【一句話翻譯提高智商】美國總統選舉 : 答案， 要點，語法

請把下麵這句中文用一句話翻譯成英文：

由於拜登在密執根和威斯康星州的微小領先，選票在關鍵州仍在計數中。

 

答案：Votes are still being counted in key states as Biden takes a narrow lead in Michigan and Wisconsin。

關鍵表達：

關鍵州：key states

b微小領先：take a narrow lead

語法：

are being counted ：現在進行時的被動語態

被動語態

1．何時運用被動語態：

（1）強調動作的接受者：America was discovered by Columbus.

（2）不知誰是動作的執行者：You are wanted on the phone.

（3）作客觀說明：It is said that the meeting has been put off.（經典句型）

2．主動變被動的基本方法：（說起來容易，掌握起來需要用心！）

（1）主動語態中的賓語變為被動語態的主語。

（2）謂語動詞變為由“be 過去分詞”的形式，配合時態作相應變化。

（3）主動語態主語置於介詞 by之後，如無必需，則省略。

（4）不及物動詞沒有被動語態。

平行結構

許多句子在描述一個人或一件物品時往往會出現一係列修飾語；動詞的修飾語， 即副詞往往也會幾個同時使用，構成平行結構，平行結構要求語法結構須保持一致，如：

1．係列動詞：

after school, we sang, danced and played the piano in the classroom.

2．係列形容詞：

She is slim, tall, blond and beautiful.

3．係列副詞：

The students are listening to me carefully and eagerly.

平行結構不僅包括動詞，形容詞，副詞，也包括分詞，不定式，動名詞，名詞短語和句子等的平行用法，務必提高辨別力。
