英語(yǔ)中含賓語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句可轉(zhuǎn)化為簡(jiǎn)單句, 意思不變。 下面介紹幾種常見(jiàn)的簡(jiǎn)化賓語(yǔ)從句的用法:
一. 改為不定式
1. 改為"V+不定式短語(yǔ)"。當(dāng)主語(yǔ)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是hope, agree, choose, wish, decide, promise (許諾)等動(dòng)詞時(shí),且主句和從句的主語(yǔ)相同, 可進(jìn)行這種轉(zhuǎn)換。它們既可接賓語(yǔ)從句, 又可接動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)。例如:
He hopes that he will be back very soon. → He hopes to be back very soon. 他希望能很快回來(lái)。
2. 改為"疑問(wèn)詞 + 不定式"結(jié)構(gòu)。
當(dāng)主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是ask, tell, forget, remember 等動(dòng)詞時(shí), 賓語(yǔ)從句可轉(zhuǎn)化成"疑問(wèn)詞 + 不定式"結(jié)構(gòu)。 例如:
Could you tell me how I can get to the station? → Could you tell me how to get to the station? 你能告訴我到車站怎么走嗎?
She has forgotten how she can open the door. → She has forgotten how to open the door. 他已經(jīng)忘記如何打開(kāi)那扇門了。
3. 改為"it + 形容詞 + 不定式短語(yǔ)"。例如:
I found that it was difficult to learn English well. → I found it difficult to learn English well. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好英語(yǔ)是困難的。
二. 改為"賓語(yǔ) + V-ing 形式(作賓補(bǔ))"。例如:
The girl found that there was a watch lying on the ground. → The girl found a watch lying on the ground. 那姑娘發(fā)現(xiàn)地上有塊手表。
三. 改為名詞或名詞短語(yǔ)。 例如:
I'll take back what I said. → I'll take back my words. 我將收回我的話。
Could you tell us how we can get to the museum? → Could you tell us the way to the museum? 你能告訴我去博物館的路嗎?
The poor boy doesn't know when and where he was born. → The poor boy doesn't know the time and the place of his birth. 這個(gè)可憐的孩子不知道他出生于何時(shí)何地。
四. 改為V-ing 形式。例如:
I remember that I have told her the truth. → I remember telling her the truth. 我記得我把真相告訴了她。
I forget I have closed the window. → I forget closing the window. 我忘了我已經(jīng)關(guān)過(guò)窗戶了。
五. 改為過(guò)去分詞或過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)。例如:
Soon they found that the ground was covered with thick snow. → Soon they found the ground covered with thick snow. 他們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)地面被厚雪覆蓋了。
The teacher found that the boy was very interested in maths. → The teacher found the boy very interested in maths. 老師發(fā)現(xiàn)這孩子對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)很感興趣。
