The thing
معنی اصلی کلمه Thing را در ترم اول و دو معنی دیگر آن را در ترم بعد یاد گرفتیم.
گرامر کلمه the را که رایجترین کلمه انگلیسی هم است، در ترم اول یاد گرفتیم.
این دو را کنار هم بگذاریم، یک عبارت اسمی ساخته میشود: The thing
اگر The thing را در یک جمله ببینیم، میدانیم یعنی چه. این عبارت، یک اسم است که اشاره دارد به یک چیز.
No. What is the thing?
The Crying Game (1992)
That’s the thing I know. I’m tired
Ghost Stories (2017)
اما The thing در جمله زیر چه معنی دارد؟
(But) the thing I don’t understand is why that gun was pointed at me
Hailey Dean Mystery: A Will to Kill (2020)
دقت کنید اینجا The thing در ابتدای جمله و با یک جمله یا کلاز مستقل یعنی why that gun was pointed at me آمده است.
جواب این است: اینجا The thing برای جلب توجه و تمرکز مخاطب روی مهمترین نکته یا همان The thing است.
مثال بعدی را از سیلور استالونه میآوریم. در این مثال، به این نکته توجه بیشتری میکنیم:
The thing I know is we’re not gonna make it another hour (unless I shut it down).
Daylight (1996)
کلاز مستقل یا جملهای که اینجا داریم این است: we’re not gonna make it another hour
اینجا گفته میشود مهمترین چیزی که من میدانم (The thing I know) این است که (is) ما حتی یک ساعت دیگر هم دوام نخواهیم آورد (we’re not gonna make it another hour)
The thing I like about it is it’s always changing all the time, you know?
Carla’s Song (1996)
