(1)
Our guest is Tom, a marketing manager of B company.
應該加個 a 字, (indefinite article)
“a marketing manager of B company” 是 noun phrase.
這個 noun phrase, functions as an appositive phrase. An appositive (同位語) is a noun or a noun phrase that follows another noun or pronoun to identify or explain it. The appositive is used to give information that helps identify the noun or pronoun.
“同位語” 就是在一個名詞之後的名詞,後一個名詞用來說明或補充前一個名詞
上述例子,
Our guest is Tom.
Who is Tom? Tom is a marketing manager of B company.
Our guest is Tom who is a marketing manager of B company. (使用 relative clause)
Our guest is Tom, a marketing manager of B company. (使用 appositive phrase)
其他例子:
She is going out with Tom, a boy in her class.
(“a boy in her class” ~ appositive phrase)
Mr. John Davis, my former Biology teacher, passed away last year.
(“my former Biology teacher” ~ appositive phrase)
使用 appositive phrase 比較精簡
