語(yǔ)法簡(jiǎn)明講解
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示當(dāng)前原因
在原文 “what's making him ill” 中，“is making” 是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，但并非表示動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行，而是強(qiáng)調(diào)當(dāng)前導(dǎo)致結(jié)果的原因。
What/某事物 + is/are + V-ing + 賓語(yǔ)，用于說(shuō)明現(xiàn)階段導(dǎo)致的狀態(tài)或影響。
The noise outside is making it hard to concentrate.（外面的噪音讓人難以集中注意力。）
