“读先乎句”是《马氏文通》自创的语法理论之一 ,它指的是“读”在先、“句”在后组成的一种“读+句”句型。“读先乎句”可归为今天的 3种句型的 8个小类。《马氏文通》在讲“读先乎句”时举“君子食无求饱 ,居无求安”为例 ,被不少语言学家认为不妥 ,其实并没有什么不妥。 “Reading precedence sentence” is one of the grammatical theories created by Ma Shih-wong-tong, which refers to the sentence pattern of “read” and “sentence” in the beginning. “Reading first sentence” can be grouped into eight sub-categories of today’s three sentence patterns. Ma Shi Wen Tong said in the “read first sentence” at the time, “gentleman eat without food, living without security,” for example, many linguists think improper, in fact, nothing wrong.
