第一个是带后置定语的名词短语,结构是
“名词 a teacher +形容词短语 strict with ...”。汉语的定语无论多长,都要放在被修饰名词前面,如 “一位对学生严格的教师”;英语则不同,凡是用短语或句子(介词短语、不定式短语、分词短语、定语从句)作定语,都必须放在被修饰名词后面,如上面的汉语翻译为英语就得把 “对学生严格” 这一意思短语或句子的形式后置修饰 teacher,例如:
〔形容词短语〕a teacher strict with his students
〔不定式短语〕a teacher to be strict with his students
〔定语从句〕a teacher who is strict with his students
第二个句子是陈述句,疑问句需要用倒装语序——
~ Is it a difficult question to snswer?
~ Is it difficult to answer the question
