老师答疑
黎老师:
曾老师:
同意黎老师的分析,“Her baby drinks mainly milk. 她的宝宝主要喝牛奶”是正确的。
1. mainly 的确常位于及物动词和宾语之间。又如:
This farm grows mainly flowers and vegetables. 这个农场主要种植蔬菜和花卉。《简明英汉词典》
2. mainly 还可表“mostly 多半地;大部分地;usually 通常地; to a large degree 在很大程度上;in most cases 大部分情况下;basically基本上”等意义,常位于be动词后,行为动词前。如:
Our customers are mainly young mothers. 我们的客户大部分都是年轻的母亲。《麦克米兰英语词典》(= mostly)
I mainly go to bed around midnight. 我通常都是在午夜前后去睡觉。《剑桥高级学习词典》(= usually)
Success in study mainly depends on one's own efforts. 学习主要靠自己努力。《现代汉英综合大词典》(= to a large degree)
Even at the end of the war, German factories mainly operated only in daytime. 即使在战争末期,德国工厂也基本上只在白天开工。《柯林斯高阶英语词典》(= basically)
▲所以,Her baby mainly drinks milk. 也是对的,可译为:“她的宝宝多半 是喝牛奶”或“她的宝宝基本上都是喝牛奶”。
