当which引导的定语从句指代主句全部内容时,可以把which改为it,作形式主语,把原来的主句改成正在主语。或者把定语从句的整个信息改换为名词短语作主语,使原来的定语从句变成简单句。
例4: He indulges himself all day in computer games, which makes his parents extremely sad.
改为:It makes his parents extremely sad that he indulges himself all day in computer games.
他整天沉湎于电脑游戏,这使他父母伤心至极。(主语从句
或者:His indulgence in computer games all day makes his parents extremely sad. (名词短语
介词短语替代定语从句有两种方式:(1省略“关系副词+主语+be动词”,或“关系代词+be动词”;(2根据从句的意思改编。
例1:We have never forgotten the days (when we were at college.
我们从来没有忘记在大学对书的日子。
例2:I don’t know the person (who is in your office.
在你办公司的那个人我不认识。
例3:Those who have high expectations but do not have those relationship skills are likely to be brought down to earth fairly quickly as their Prince or Princess Charming falls off their pedestal.
改为:Those with high expectations but without those relationship skills are likely to be brought down to earth fairly quickly as their Prince or Princess Charming falls off their pedestal.
那些对婚姻期望太高却又不具备处理婚姻关系技巧的人,一旦他们心中的白马王子或白雪公主从神圣的光环里跌落,他们就会很快地回到现实中。
例4:He is not a person who likes to haggle over every ounce.
改为:He is a person above personal interests.
他不是一个斤斤计较的人。
好的文章动静结合、张弛有度有节奏感。句式也是一样,要有变化性,这不仅能使文章更生动,也是语言表达方式的需要和表达能力的体现。句式的`变化,主要是要注意两点:
● 不要从头至尾使用一种句型。
● 长短句结合。
由于语言功底的欠缺和惯用思维,很多人写的文章一种句式到头,如:
I think …
I hope…
He does it.
He will take it
这样的文章虽然意思表达出来了,却显得呆板,欠生动。解决的办法是:
1.间或使用主从复句。
Because he is very much determined, he will carry it out this time. (原因
比较:He is very much determined. He will carry it out this time.
2.使用分词结构句。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went sightseeing.
比较:The weather is fine. A large number of people went sightseeing.
Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.
比较:Africa is the second largest continent. Its size is about three times that of China.
3.使用不定式句。
To be or not to be, that is a question. (莎士比亚
To study or not to study, that is much different.(引申
To do it well, you must plan it well.
比较:You want to do it well. And you must plan it well.
4.倒装句
Only when we fully recognize its importance can we have control of its essence.
比较:After we fully recognize its importance, we can have control of its essence.
No sooner had he arrived home than it began to rain.
比较:He arrived home. And it began to rain.
5.失衡句
whether or not he will come is still unknown to all the people present.
比较:No one present knows whether he will come or not.
That he has done it all by himself is known to everyone.
比较:Everyone knows that he has done it all by himself.
当然,句子并不是越长越好,也不是越复杂水平就越高。凡事皆有度。太多长句的堆砌让人觉得是买弄。有时侯,一个短小精辟的句子可以起到画龙点睛的作用。特别是在文末段尾。比如:
●As a creature, every one knows.
●Actions speak louder than words.
●Practice makes perfect.
“如果你有很多钱,你会干什么?”这是一个非常复杂的问题。有人也许想买一辆昂贵的车,还有人想买一栋豪华的房子。或着有人想经营一个公司等。我也有我自己的想法。
If I have a lot of money, I will publish an English book under my name. Maybe I will be famous someday, because everyone will know the fact that I'm good at English.
如果我有很多钱,我会用我的名字出版了一本英语书。也许有一天我会很出名,因为每个人都会知道我擅长英语的事实。
If I have a lot of money, I will help my best friend to set up a training school. Since this is his greatest dream. If I can make his dream come true, I will be very honorable. I will let him be the boss, but I only want to be his assistant.
如果我有很多钱,我会帮助我最好的朋友建立一个培训学校。因为这是他最大的梦想。如果我能实现他的梦想,我会感到很光荣。我会让他成为老板,而我只想做他的助手。
If I have a lot of money, I will travel to various coast cities. As they are facing the sea, I can spend a wonderful time at the seaside. It is said that the seaside is so wonderful and beautiful. The sunrise is glorious at the seaside and surfing on the sea is very exciting. While facing the sea, I can enjoy endless pleasure. How charming it is while feeling the sea wind blowing to us. It's also wonderful to enjoy the beautiful sunshine on the golden beach.
如果我有很多钱,我会去各沿海城市旅游。他们都面向大海,所以我能在海边度过一个美好的时光。据说,海边是非常美丽和美妙的。海边的日出很美,在海边冲浪也很刺激。面对大海,我可以享受到无穷的乐趣。多么迷人,感觉到海风吹向我们的时候是多么的迷人啊。在金色的`沙滩上享受美丽的阳光也是非常棒的。
These are my beautiful dreams. Even though I find it a little difficult to fulfill my dreams, it doesn't matter, because where there is a will, there is a way. I believe I can realize my dreams through my great efforts.
这些都是我美丽的梦想。虽然我很努力去实现我的梦想但是还是有点难度,不过没关系,因为有志者事竟成。我相信我能通过我的努力实现我的梦想。
“现在分词短语”作后置定语
此项要明白三点:(1“现在分词短语”与前面的名词一定是主谓关系;(2它隐含的时态为与谓语动词同一阶段的时态。例如:谓语是一般现在时或将来时,现在分词所隐含的是现在时、现在正在继续时;如果谓语动词为一般过去时或将来时,现在分词所隐含的时态为过去时、过去正在进行时;(3being+-ed表示“正在进行时的被动语态”。如果信息的`中心在什么时候可以用现在分词呢?
(1当被修饰的名词为“不定代词”、“泛指意义的名词”或“专有名词”,可用现在分句短语作后置定语
由于主语是泛指,句子的意思往往表达的是一条“道理”或一件“事实”,所以它们的隐含时为“一般现在时”,此时就可以用分词短语作后置定语。为了看清分词所隐含的时态,配上定语。
为了读者看得明白,配上定语从句,把分词所替代的时间展示出来。
例1:Anyone touching that wire will get an electric stock.
任何人碰到那根电线就会触电。
= Anyone who touches that wire will get an electric stock.
例2:The only real and lasting solution is to convince people that driving is a skilled taskrequiring (=which requires constant care and concentration.
唯一一个有效、持久的方法是说法人们相信,开车是一种技术活,需要不断的小心,思想不能开小差。
例3:Charles and Sydney, looking (=who lookso much like each other, are often considered to be twins.
查尔斯和悉尼两个人的相貌非常相似,经常被人误解为双胞胎。
注:虽然被修饰的词是泛指意义的词,但是如果从句里的时态不是同步,则不可以用“现在分词”去作后置定语,只能用“定语从句”。
例句Do you know anybody who has lost a dog?
你知道有谁丢了一只猫?
(2 当被修饰的名词为特指,即有the限定,可用现在分句短语作后置定语
此类与上面一类一样,与被修饰词之间的关系为主动关系,所不同的是它强调该动词“正在进行”。
例1:Would you help me to pass this note to the person sitting in the corner?
能帮助我把这个条子递给坐在角落的那个人吗?
= Would you help me to pass this note to the person who is sitting in the corner?
注:同上一个“注”道理一样,本项虽然主句的主语是特指,但两个动作时态不是在同一阶段时间内发生,所以也不能用“现在分词”作定语,只能用“定语从句”。
例:The police are questioning the criminal who robbed the bank.
警察在审问那个抢劫银行的犯人。
(4“Being+过去分词”表示“正在进行时的被动语态”
“Being+过去分词”作后置定语等同于含有“正在进行时+被动语态”的定语从句。请注意与下面的“过去分词”作后置定语的区别,此项里的being是不可以省略的,否定表示现在时、完成时和过去时的被动关系了(详见2“过去分词”作后置定语。
例1:The dormitory being built is for girl students.
正在盖的宿舍是给女生住的。
例2:The baby being taken care of by my mother is mine.
正在由我妈妈带的这个婴儿是我的。
“过去分词短语”作后置定语
此项要明白三点:(1“过去分词短语”与前面的名词一定是动宾关系;(2主句为一般现在时或一般将来时,“过去分词”所隐含的时态是“一般现在时”或“现在完成时”。如果有时间/地点状语或有by引导的介词,还可以替代过去时,因为时间/地点状语以及by引导的状语都是强调的是动作。当谓语动词是“一般过去时或过去将来时”的时候,“过去分词”所隐含的时态是“一般过去时”或“过去完成时”。下面同样用分词与定语从句对比的方式要看看“过去分词”所替代的时态。
例1:The risk associated with a particular course of action may be lessened by use of a group rather than an individual decision-maker. 对于作出某项行动的决定,集体作的要比个人作的风险小。
= The risk which is associated with a particular course of action may be lessened by use of a group rather than an individual decision-maker. (由于主句为一般现在时,从句的时态与它同步,所以可以省略关系代词和助动词
例2:In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit(=which was hit by a hurricane.
在1992年的秋天,爱荷华州的居民将好几辆卡车的水送到受飓风袭击的佛罗里达州人的手里。
例3:I’d like to make some comments on the meeting held (=which was heldyesterday. 我想对昨天召开的会议发表一点看法。
“形容词短语”省略的理由和方式,与“分词短语”作后置定语一样。当它们不是句中的重点信息,就可以去掉关系代词和be动词。形容词作后置定语同定语从句一样,可以分为“限制性”和“非限制性”。
例1:I bought this comic book hot off the press. 我买了这本刚刚出版的漫画书。
例2:She is a kind lady, ready to help others. 她是一个善良的女人, 总是帮助别人。
例3:Companies large and small the world over have been developing their own “corporate universities”. 全世界大大小小的公司都一直在办自己的“公司大学”。
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong.
