65. Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth.
點(diǎn)睛
be fascinated with是口語中常見的表達(dá),意為“對(duì)……著迷,癡迷于”。動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)existing somewhere else besides earth是life的后置定語,對(duì)life進(jìn)行具體說明。
考點(diǎn)歸納
形容詞fascinated是由動(dòng)詞fascinate“迷住,吸引”變形而來的,也可理解為fascinate的過去分詞形式,意為“入迷的,極感興趣的”,不可置于名詞之前。其常見用法如下:
與介詞by連用,后接讓人入迷并感興趣的對(duì)象。如:
Humans are always fascinated by rainbows. 人們總是為彩虹而著迷。
后接動(dòng)詞不定式,表示對(duì)做某事很感興趣。如:
I would be fascinated to hear your views on this problem. 我很有興趣聽聽你對(duì)該問題的看法。
