[英文句子的组合使你的句子更优美简洁.docVIP

英文句子的組合(使你的句子更优美,简洁) 句子組合(sentence combining)的目的，就是把一些短句或「支離破碎」的句子(short and choppy sentence)連接起來，使句子更好，更有連貫性。 以下把一般常用的句子組合方法，舉例說明。 (1) 把簡單型(simple form)的主詞、動詞、受詞或補助語連接起來，成為結合型(compound form)： 例1： Mr. Wang is applying for this position. (王先生申請這個職位。) Mr. Lee is also applying for this position. (李先生也申請這個職位。) 上面兩句可組成： Mr. Wang and Mr. Lee are both applying for this position. (把Mr. Wang和Mr. Lee用and連接，成為結合主詞。) 例2 My wife read the book for an hour last night. (昨晚內人看了一小時的書。) She also wrote a letter. (她也寫了一封信。) In addition, she cooked a nice dinner. (還有，她燒了一頓好晚餐。) 上面三句可組成： Last night my wife read the book for an hour wrote a letter and cooked a nice dinner. (由於主詞相同，所以可把三個動詞read, wrote和cooked，加逗號，用and 連接，成結合動詞。) 例3 The school gave Mr. Chang extra credits for field work. (學校給張先生實地考察的額外學分。) Mr. Lee was given extra credits as well. (李先生也有額外的學分。) 上面兩句可組成： The school gave Mr. Chang and Mr. Lee extra credits for field work. (先把第二句的被動was given改為主動後，再把間接受詞Mr. Chang和Mr. Lee連接起來。) 例4 The old man sat at a roadside stand. (老人坐在路邊的攤位。) He sold vegetables to passing drivers. (他賣蔬菜給路過的駕駛。) 可組成： The old man sat at a roadside stand and sold vegetables to passing drivers. (把動詞sat和sold用and連接，成為結合動詞。) 例5 I painted the house. (我油漆房子。) My wife painted the back fence. (我內人油漆後院的籬笆。) 可組成： My wife and I painted the house and the back fence. (把直接受詞house和fence用and連接，成為結合受詞。)(為了禮貌，要把別人放在前面，不說：I and my wife…) 例6 Mr. A called Mr. B a scholar. (A先生稱B先生是位學者。) He also called Mr. B a philanthropist. (他也稱B先生是位慈善家。) Finally, Mr. A called Mr. B a wonderful man. (最後A先生稱B先生是位出色的人。) 上面三句可組成： Mr. A called Mr. B a scholar, a philanthropist and a wonderful man. (把受詞補助語scholar, philanthropist和wonderful man 用comma 分開，再用and連成一個簡單句。在and的前面，通常不加comma。) 例7 The college library cost five million dollars. (大學圖書館花了五百萬元。) It
