Nick Foster 的新書

以下是 Nick Foster 的新書《嫁給食物》的前言。

前言

我媽媽的廚藝不好。對她來說，下廚比較像是一場刺激的實驗。你把一些這個一些那個放 進鍋裡，然後你就等著看會煮出什麼東西。當她的實驗結果不好時，她總是說：「沒有實驗就 沒有經驗」，而且我常聽到那段話。

我爸爸則是個很棒的廚師，而且他也喜愛下廚。他常常說他是用一桌好料理來娶到我媽 媽，而不是用一顆漂亮的戒指。他總說：「一個家裡面只需要一個好廚師。」。

現在我自己是個廚師。而且我擁有我自己的餐廳。當然，我的好廚藝傳承自父親。從他身 上我學到廚藝的藝術。但我從母親身上確實學到了一件事。那就是她的名言：「沒有實驗就沒 有經驗」。

句型解說

① turn out：結果是

② 頻率副詞 often：常常的意思。頻率副詞是用來表示某件事或某動作發生的頻率，例如 always(總是)、usually(通常)、often(常常)、sometime(有時)、seldom(很少)、never(從不)。

擺放位置如下：

◎ 一般動詞之前

ex: She usually goes to school by bus. 她通常搭公車去學校。

◎ be 動詞之後

ex: He is never late for school. 他上學從不遲到。

③ 名詞片語：主要子句+疑問詞+ to +原形動詞

I don’t know

who what where

when how

to believe.

to do.

to find my book.

to go to Japan.

to do it.

名詞片語可和名詞子句互換，但是主要子句的主詞或受詞須與名詞子句(間接問句)的主詞 是同一人。其句型為：疑問詞+主詞+ can/will/should +原形動詞

ex: I don’t know what I should do.

= I don’t know what to do.

★ 本文中「I learned how to cook from my father.」的主要子句的主詞是 I，而下一句的主 詞也是 I，故將主詞拿掉，改成名詞片語。若將名詞片語還原成名詞子句：I learned how I can cook from my father.
