英語(yǔ)早間課堂:One's decisition is that S (should)
各位聽(tīng)眾朋友，這里是可可早間課堂。我是Juliet。可可早間課堂給您講解的是最基本，最基礎(chǔ)的知識(shí)，讓您擁有扎實(shí)的基本功。歷經(jīng)20多年來(lái)的學(xué)習(xí)，我深深地感到：基礎(chǔ)即是精髓，基本即是精華。
【今日主題】
This morning, I'm going to talk about a sentence pattern which is : One's decision is that S should do. 這個(gè)句式表達(dá)的意思是：某人的決定是......， 某人決定......。
【主題詳解】
Let's make a sentence to get a grasp of it. Look at this sentence: Our decision is that the school should remain closed. 我們決定這個(gè)學(xué)校還是不開(kāi)放。這是一個(gè)含有表語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句。主句是：our decision is , 表語(yǔ)從句是：that the school should remain closed。在這個(gè)從句中使用了虛擬語(yǔ)氣，即：謂語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)為——should + remain (動(dòng)詞原形), 且謂語(yǔ)中的情態(tài)動(dòng)詞 should 是可以省略的。由此可見(jiàn)，含有表語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句中的主句中的主語(yǔ)含有“decision”這個(gè)表示“決定”的名詞時(shí)，表語(yǔ)從句要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。
Let's look at more example sentences. The editor's decision is that it be so. 編輯定了這稿件不再改了。值得大家注意的是從句that it be so由于省略了情態(tài)動(dòng)詞should，因此謂語(yǔ)就是be. The General Manager's decision is that we go ahead with this project. 總經(jīng)理決定繼續(xù)這項(xiàng)工程。該句子中的表語(yǔ)從句也省略了should.
【視野拓展——情景口語(yǔ)】
As a matter of a fact, some sentences including decision is widely used in our daily conversation. Such as : 1 工作中很多事情是要經(jīng)過(guò)“老大”點(diǎn)頭的，而您只是一個(gè)中層領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，跟您是好友的人問(wèn)您他是否被聘用，您可以說(shuō): The decision is in the hand of him.決定權(quán)在他那兒。2 一個(gè)人的家中總有一個(gè)人講話有分量，起著決定作用，我們常說(shuō)：“家里的事兒她說(shuō)了算”。She is a decision-maker( 復(fù)合詞) in the house. 3 現(xiàn)在很多公司是多個(gè)人合伙辦起的，但是總有一個(gè)“老大”中的“老大”，在商量事情時(shí)不免會(huì)持有異議，而您作為“老大”中的“老大”在異議紛紛時(shí)會(huì)盛怒，在盛怒之下，你或許會(huì)說(shuō)：Don't argue with me, my decision is final. 不要和我爭(zhēng)辯了，我的決定是最終決定。3 我們看電視，在體育比賽中，有時(shí)候裁判的裁決是有是有失誤的，但是：The umpire' s decision is always unchangeable. 裁判員的裁決總是不可改變的。
【視野拓展——高分寫作短語(yǔ)】
Talking of “decision”, we have many useful phrase. They are as follows:
1 take a decision ( make a decision make decisions )Three of them mean " decide " .Let's look a sentence: We need to take a decision on this problem by next week. 我們要說(shuō)“對(duì)某事做決定”則在decision后面加上介詞on 或是about , 但是要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是：如果是介詞on或者about的話，后面只能跟名詞或者是某些名詞性短語(yǔ)，但是絕不能跟動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)表示“做出做某事的決定”。那么要說(shuō)“做出做某事”的決定，我們只能用動(dòng)詞不定式。請(qǐng)看下面這句話：We made the decision to go ahead with this project. 我們可以看到make a decision make the decision, 在decision前不是a 就是the, 則可見(jiàn)decision是個(gè)可數(shù)名詞,當(dāng)然我們可以用復(fù)數(shù)decisions，那么就有這個(gè)短語(yǔ), 即：make decisions. Let's look at a sentence: He is really bad at making decisions. 他太不善于決策了。此句中的be bad at正好是 be good at 的反義詞，即：不擅長(zhǎng)......， 不善于......。
2 reach a decision ( = come to a decision ) Both of them mean" decide after some difficulty". 意思是：經(jīng)歷了某種困難后而做出的決定，就是中文說(shuō)的“做出抉擇”。Let's look at the example sentences. 1 We must come to a decision about what to do next by tomorrow. 我們必須在明日前就下一步做什么做出決定。2 She reached a decision to break up with him finally. 她最終還是做出了分手的抉擇。
