1.We human beings may live without clothes, but food and air are essential to our lives.這裡的We 為什麼可以直接接上human這個名詞啊?
human beings是主詞we的「限定性質的同位語」。human beings(人類)是複數的「複合名詞」(名詞+名詞),兩個字合成一個「詞」。
2. [You’re probably up (most of the night)] cramming.這裡的cram為何是ing呢?
If you are "up," you are not in bed.(see p.1521 Collins Cobuild English Dictionary for Advanced Learners)
cramming是用來修飾述部are up的「修飾語」,屬副詞性質的「現在分詞」。與述部「同時發生」:即熬夜時,是在K書(cramming =強記功課)。如:The boy is cramming (up) history.=這男孩在背歷史。
You're probably up most of the night cramming.你大概晚上的大部分時間都在熬夜苦讀吧。(動詞時態用timeless present的are,因為常發生)。熬夜+苦讀。
類似的副詞性修飾語,如:
The little girl came "running."
I like to stay home "reading novel and listening to music."
