FromMars Posted January 29, 2009 at 02:19 AM Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 at 02:19 AM I can't seem to find any definite resources out there for grammar, so I'm asking here. What is the use of 將 in sentences? It seems as though it acts pretty much the same as 以 or 用 in the sentences it appears in. I'm aware of it's sense of future when used with verbs, but what I am talking about is its use in sentences like the following: 弗雷可能已經將西芙項鍊祭入生命之爐了 Is it just simply "use"? And as long as I have that example here, does 祭入 just mean enter? No dictionaries list it. I hope someone can help as this grammar point isn't discussed in any books I own, which seems ridiculous with how often I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted January 29, 2009 at 04:58 AM Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 at 04:58 AM 將 is similar to 把. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanlink Posted January 29, 2009 at 08:42 AM Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 at 08:42 AM You should certainly treat the 將 used here as a more formal 把. In addition, 項鍊 should be 項鏈 (necklace). Here 祭 has to be treated as a verb, probably something like 'made a sacrifice of Xifu's necklace by putting it in the...'. It is a very strange sentence from a very strange story!
