In the first step of dividing the reading rhythm of classical Chinese sentences, we should first analyze the pause principle between relative and predicate, and the pause principle between predicate and object, so as to divide the most obvious reading rhythm of a sentence. For example, Zou Ji satirizes the sentence "I really know that Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei" in The King of Qi, which means "I really know that Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei", and the trunk of the sentence is "I know that Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei", which corresponds to a classical Chinese sentence, so the subject of the sentence is "I know" and the predicate is "Xu Hongmei is not as good as Xu Hongmei". Of course, the sentences that can be divided in this way must be subject-predicate sentences.
Secondly, according to the form of "verb object/verb object"
Some sentences have subject, predicate and object, forming a subject-predicate structure, but what if some sentences have no subject-predicate structure? Don't worry, analyze it again and use the second method of "verb-object/verb-object" to divide it. For example, there is a pause in the reading of the sentence "Leading a wife to this desperate situation" in Peach Blossom Garden. In this sentence, "leadership" means "leadership", which is a verb, and "leading his wife" is the content and object of "leadership", which is a verb-object structure. "Lai" is a verb, "this desperate situation" is a place to come, and "Lai" is an object and a verb-object structure. Throughout the whole sentence, this sentence consists of two verb-object structures, so the pause in reading this sentence is to "introduce the wife system, sort out the trunk of this sentence, and understand what is the subject, predicate and object." The second step is to follow the master/to this desperate situation. "
How to divide longer sentences, such as "those who can slander me in the market will be rewarded", is this method applicable? Again, don't worry. Now let's analyze it again: this sentence means "I can discuss my fault loudly in the market, and what I hear will be rewarded by inferiority". The verbs are "discuss", "let … hear" and "receive", while the verbs in classical Chinese sentences are "swear", "smell" and "receive". "Xia Shang" is the object of "acceptance". In this case, "who can slander the city" is a verb-object structure, "who hears my ears" is a verb-object structure, and "who receives Xia Shang" is also a verb-object structure. Then the pause in reading this sentence is "Who can slander this city/hear my ears/receive Xia Shang", or according to
Third, according to the principle of "the former is the former"
In addition to the sentences with subject-predicate structure and verb-object structure, there are also some sentences that express the turning point of meaning. We can use the third method to divide the reading rhythm: according to the principle of "before". For example, in My Fish, if you are right, you can make trouble without doing it. If you are right, you can make trouble without doing it. If you are right, you can make trouble without doing it. If you are right, you can make trouble without doing it. According to the principle of "before, before", the reading pause of this sentence is ". Another example is "10,000 minutes can be accepted without distinguishing propriety", which can be divided into "10,000 minutes can be accepted without distinguishing propriety" according to the principle of "before". According to the principle of "before, before", the pause in reading can be divided into "when/when/when/when/when foreign patients are invincible".
But there are also sentences, such as "When can I have fun?" How to divide it? Let's see: "natural" means a turning point, followed by "when can I have fun" is the content of the turning point, and there is no previous one before "natural"
The content of meaning, this sentence is just a turning point in the meaning of the next sentence. It has only one meaning and belongs to a single sentence. Its division can only be "then".
From this point of view, if a sentence is divided according to the principle of "the former is the former", then its content must be two or more layers, and its two meanings must appear at the same time, so that its rhythm division is correct, otherwise, this principle is incorrect. Fourth, by language sense, according to the meaning of the sentence.
There are still some sentences, the above three methods are inseparable, so we should use the method of relying on language sense and according to sentence meaning to divide them. This is the fourth division method I proposed. For example, in Born in Worry and Died in Happiness, the sentence "People always make mistakes and then can change" means "People often make mistakes, but then can correct them", and there is a pause in the tone, so the pause is natural and clear, "People always make mistakes/then can change". Another example is the phrase "no confused ears" in Humble Room Inscription, which means "no noise of music disturbs my peace". "No confused ears" is the content of "nothing", and both are the elements of "nothing", so the pause in reading this sentence is "no confused ears".
