英语写作精讲精练:一个公式三个原则(3)
非谓语动词方式处理示例示例1:I sat beside her. I felt very nervous.
可变为:Sitting beside her, I felt very nervous.
或者:I sat beside her, feeling very nervous.
示例2:I want to quit smoking. I eat candies.
可变为:To quit smoking, I eat candies.
示例3:A young man was tired of sleeping on the floor. He saved up for years to buy a real bed.
可以变为:Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man saved up for years to buy a real bed.
示例4:Jimmy was dressed up as Father Christmas. He was accompanied by a guard of honor of six pretty girls. He set off down the main street of the city. He rode a baby elephant. The elephant was called Jumbo.
可以变为:Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a guard of honor of six pretty girls, Jimmy set off down the main street of the city, riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.
定语从句方式处理
定语从句当然是属于“从属”的行列,所以,是处理为从属方式的手段之一。请看下面的例子:
This is the only book.
I read the book during the holiday.
两句的重合点在the book上面;将第二句中的the book抽出来,放到第一句book后面,其它内容向后甩。这样,我们就会看到the only book后面马上又在重复the book。为了避免重复,我们去掉the book,而换用另外一个词去替换,这个词就是指物的which或that。因为这里的book有only在修饰,所以,最终我们选用that;又因为that在定语从句中作宾语,所以,可以省略。
下面两句的合并遵循同样的原则:
She is the girl.
The girl’s father is my boss.
?She is the girl whose father is my boss.
几个句型:
…, but…句型(表转折关系)
…, for…句型(表原因关系)
…, so…句型(表结果关系)
…(,/;/.) however,…句型(表更强烈的转折关系)
…(,/;/.) therefore,…句型(更强烈的结果关系)
…(,/;/.) meanwhile,…句型(表时间关系)
…(,/;/.) consequently,…句型(表结果关系)
…(,/;/.) admittedly,…句型(表让步关系)
这些基本知识构成了:
?1)简单句扩展到复杂句
?2)复杂句拆分为简单句
由“分到合”,由“合到分”的“基石”。
