Favorite Answer

Peter decided to watch TV instead of finishing his homework.彼得決定看電視而沒有完成家庭作業。 instead of 代替 = replace = substitute for A instead of B : 用A取代B watch TV instead of finishing his homework: 看電視來取代完成家庭作業用比較流利的語法就是: 看電視而沒有完成家庭作業

Answer 3

抱歉指出001回答的說法:

instead of 代替 = replace = substitute for

這是錯誤的等式, 介系詞組怎會等於動詞?

Pete decided to watch TV instead of finishing his homework.

版主句子中的instead of若是換成replace或是substitute for, 句子文法就錯了.

To Rhody:

您回答中的「看這裡便明白」與「看這裡會有收穫」沒有建立連結, 請補充連結網址.

>翻譯時宜多加一個"先"字，則語意自然通順

前提是原文句尾要有first:

Pete decided to watch TV instead of finishing his homework FIRST.

沒有這個first, 語意不是先不先的差別, 而是只看電視而根本不作完功課.

Answer 4

Pete decided to watch TV instead of finishing his homework

instead of 是個群組介系詞，此處意為"而不"，看這裡便明白

帶領finishing his homework成為一個副詞片語，翻譯時宜多加一個"先"字，則語意自然通順

Pete決定(先)看電視而不 (先)做完作業

介詞片語做為副詞，看這裡會有收穫

請將本回答排除於最佳答案的選擇，我不要點數
