改造低級句型,讓你的英語靚起來
很多人都強調用連詞、介詞等詞匯手段迅速提高語言水平。但這種方法需要一定的積累。而通過對低級句型的改造,可以迅速達到這一目的。
●強調句:可以輕松地將時間、地點、原因、方式等類型狀語從句轉變為強調時間的強調句。
It was not until I arrived home that I realized I had left the bag on the shop counter.
●倒裝句:只要句中有介詞短語或狀語從句,便可將其提前,變成倒裝句。
Only when I turned right at the crossing did that car crack towards me.
Only by this means can he escape from the big fire.
●with引導的伴隨結構:可以將狀語從句或并列句中的其中一個分句變成with結構。
With the sun lighting brightly and the birds singing clearly, I went to school in high spirits.
●巧妙地使用非謂語動詞:可以將狀語從句或并列的動詞簡化為非謂語動詞。
Hearing that, the driver’s wife quickly added that her husband often talked nonsense after drinking.(低級形式:When he heard that, ……)
●恰到好處的被動句:適合應用于較簡短的句子,這樣顯得語言簡潔生動,賓語一般是nothing、anything、everything等不定代詞。
I searched all my pockets, but nothing was found.
●感嘆句:通常用于開頭結尾活躍文章氣氛,凡是“I feel ……”之類表達感情的句子皆可如此改造。
How terrible I felt today! I failed again in the math exam.
●高級定語從句:若定語從句中的動詞帶有介詞,只需將介詞移至先行詞后。
We came to a place to which they had never paid a visit before.
●進行時態:有時會含有一定情緒,尤其要使用always這樣的富含感情色彩的副詞。
●婉轉表達:需要使用幽默的技巧,主要用于漫畫型作文題。
I could find nothing but bad luck when I returned the shop after learning that my handbag had been left on the counter.
●what引導的名詞性從句:將動賓結構轉化為此結構。
What he gave me, which I knew, were not only a Christmas present but also a heart full of love and a mind of my existence in it.
●“數詞+名詞”變為“as many as+數詞+名詞”
As many as ten years ago, my hometown used to be covered by forests.
●適當加一些不關痛癢的插入語:一些連詞、副詞可以放到句子中間充當語氣較弱的插入語,如I guess、however、in a way、certainly、in my opinion、probably、briefly等,有時可以考慮幾個插入語連用,就更像英美人士的文章了。
●獨立主格:將主從句去掉連詞,前句動詞變為分詞即可。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
