done a fantastic job.
對(duì)話
Gordon: I've just been reading through your last project report.
James: I hope you didn't find too much wrong with it.
Gordon: On the contrary, you've done a fantastic job.
James: Well I'm not sure about that.
Gordon: You're too modest. It's really well organized and written and offers some very well thought out conclusions.
James: Well I'm glad you like it and hope it proves useful.
戈登：我剛剛讀了你最新的計(jì)劃報(bào)告。
詹姆斯：希望你不會(huì)覺得太差吧。
戈登：剛好相反，你這報(bào)告做得好極了。
詹姆斯：嗯，我可不敢這樣肯定。
戈登：你太謙虛了。報(bào)告的結(jié)構(gòu)、行文都很好，提出的結(jié)論也頗具巧思。
詹姆斯：你喜歡就好了，希望有用吧。
Prove一字，讀者大概都知道解作‘證明’，Can you prove what you have said?即‘你能證明你所說的話么？’這個(gè)prove是及物動(dòng)詞(transitive verb)，其后須有受詞(object)。但I(xiàn) hope it proves useful這一句的prove，卻不可解作‘證明’，也不是及物動(dòng)詞，而是和is、appear、seem等一樣的連系動(dòng)詞(linking verb)，即其后可用形容詞/形容詞詞組(adjective phrase)或名詞/名詞詞組(noun phrase)，以修飾句子主詞(subject)。這個(gè)prove有‘是’或‘最后發(fā)覺是’的意思，例如：(1) His guess proved (to be) correct（他的猜測(cè)并沒有錯(cuò)）。(2) Her husband proved (to be) a coward（他丈夫原來是個(gè)懦夫）。這兩句的proved假如改為was proved，意思就不同了：一是說‘他的猜測(cè)是有證據(jù)的，證明他沒有錯(cuò)’，一是說‘她丈夫被證明是個(gè)懦夫’。作連系動(dòng)詞的prove十分常見，不可不識(shí)。要稱贊人家的工作，你可以像戈登一樣說：You have done a fantastic/great/good job。Fantasy是‘幻想’，所以fantastic本是指‘荒誕的’，例如Fantastic stories是‘荒誕的故事’。但口語往往以fantastic解作‘極好的’，例如：He'll go with us? Fantastic!（他會(huì)和我們一起去？好極了?。┐送猓氵€可以說Well done!/Great work!/You've done very well!（做得好?。┮Q贊人家工作進(jìn)展良好，則可說Nice going!/Good going!/Not bad going!例如："I've prepared all the legal documents." "Good going!"（‘我已準(zhǔn)備了所有法律文件?！?‘好得很！’）
