想要學好英語怎麼能不知道句子的合成法呢?下面就讓小編爲大家詳解一下吧。
兩個或兩個以上簡單句(Simple Sentence)可以合成一個較長的簡單句、並列句(Compound Sentence)或複雜句(Complex Sentence)。透過句子的.合成,我們得以更清楚地看出句子間的語義關係,而且還可以使句子多樣化,增加文章的丰姿。
現在就從三方面來看看句子合成法的問題。
1. 由兩三個簡單句合成一個長的簡單句。例如:
(1) John ran away. He escaped the danger.
→ Running away, John escaped the danger.
(2) The hunter took up his gun. He shot the boar.
→ The hunter took up his gun to shoot the boar.
(3) The king died. The queen heard about it. She fainted.
→ On hearing about the king's death, the queen fainted.
(4) Kelvin is my good friend. He is a strong supporter of social justice.
→ Kelvin, a strong supporter of social justice, is my good friend.
(5) The rascal kicked the cat. He kicked it on the back. He kicked it intentionally.
→ The rascal kicked the cat on the back intentionally.
2. 由兩三個簡單句合成一個並列句。例如:
(6) John was sad. He kept quiet.
→ John was sad but he kept quiet.
(7) Take the book. Leave it there.
→ Take the book or leave it there.
(8) Sean did not come to class today. He had a bad headache.
→ Sean did not come to class today, for he had a bad headache.
(9) Bruce was lying on the bed. He looked at the ceiling. He saw a lizard.
→ Lying on the bed, Bruce looked at the ceiling and saw a lizard.
3. 由兩三個簡單句合成一個複雜句。例如:
(10) Kelvin is getting rich. We know about it.
→ We know that kelvin is getting rich.
(11) I like this book. It contains many amusing stories.
→ I like this book which contains many amusing stories.
(12) Helen is sure to get her pay. It is due to her. Why does she complain?
→ Why does Helen complain since she is sure to get the pay due to her ?
(13) The woman was exhausted. She had not slept well the previous night.
→ The woman was exhausted because she had not slept well the previous night.
上面例子顯示,簡單句由“主語+謂語”(Subject + Predicate) 構成,有時還附有修飾性的短語。並列句由至少兩個地位平等的並列分句透過並列連詞 (Coordinating Conjunction)如“and, or, but, so, for”等連成。複雜句包括一個主句 (Main Clause)及至少一個從句 (Subordinate Clause), 透過從屬連詞(Subordinating Conjunction) 如“That, since, because, when, if”等合成。從屬分句因功能不同而分成“名詞從句”(Noun Clause), “副詞從句”(Adverb Clause) 和“形容詞從句”(Adjective Clause)。
上述諸句式中,複雜句最爲多采多姿,不妨多用。爲了避免句子太長,難以控制,一個複雜句最好不要超過三個從句。
