註：可以說 no good food, no suitable clothes，因為這裏 no 修飾 food, clothes（＝ no food that is good, no clothes that are suitable）。本句應該用 not enough food，因這裏 not 修飾形容詞 enough。同樣，There is no much time left. 應改為 There is not much time left.。
2. /你不能指望我在一小時內做這麼多工作。
ˇ You cannot expect me to do so many things in only one hour.

χ You cannot expect me to do such many things in only one hour.
註：such 作「這樣的」解時，是形容詞，修飾名詞。例如：such a book, such things。表示「這麼多」、「那麼久」等應用副詞so 來修飾形容詞。
例如：so many things, so much food, so quickly, so long 等。
3. 這件洋裝好舊呀！
ˇ What an old dress (it is)!
ˇ How old the dress is!
χ How an old dress it is!
註：how, what 同樣可以引導出感嘆句，但 how 修飾所要強調的形容詞或副詞。若修飾所要強調的名詞，該用 what。
4. 他法文讀得很好。
ˇ He reads French very well.
ˇ He is good at reading French.
χ He reads French very good.
註：good 是形容詞，不能修飾動詞 speaks，應用副詞 well。
5. 我們看見一個人站在河邊。
ˇ We saw a man standing by the river.
ˇ We saw a man standing near the river.
χ We saw a man standing nearby the river.
註：nearby 嚴格來說只能作形容詞或副詞，不能當介系詞用。例如：
The tea farmer lives in the village nearby.
The children are playing nearby.

Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels.
