Does anyone know the title of the novel?有谁知道这部小说的名字?
There is a tall maple tree at the end of the road.在这条路的尽头有一棵高高的枫树。
如果名词后面有一个较长定语,尽管名词表示有生命的东西,也可以用这种所有格形式。例如:
Did you listen to the speech of the President Clinton over the radio?你听了克林顿总统的广播讲话了吗?
They have the supportofthe people of the developing countries.他们得到发展中国家人民的支持。
追问
它不应该是 It is () of great significance吗?
追答
“be of+抽象名词”,of短语相当于这个名词的同根形容词,作为表语表示主语的性质或特征.of的意思是“具有、具备”等,常用于该结构的名词常见的有 of use=useful; of nouse=useless; of importance=important等. 如: The matter is of great importance.=The matter is very important.
