巧用非謂語，升級簡單句

陳雪芬

一、英語的五個簡單句

1. 主謂

She smiled.

2. 主謂賓

I have finished my homework.

3. 主系表

His job is to train swimmers.

4. 主謂 +間賓+直賓

My mother told us a story.

5. 主謂+賓+賓補

He noticed a man enter the room.

He told me not to eat too much.

五個簡單句是英語作文的寫作之基，但是一篇作文如果都是簡單句就會在句式的高級和豐富性方面沒有達到五檔作文的要求，而如果一篇作文都是復雜句，又會給讀者一個“為賦新詞強說愁”的造作感。本文通過高考范文中的句子思考擴句的方法。借助高考作文題，嘗試用非謂語升級句子，并總結(jié)解題方法。

二、使用非謂語升級簡單句

常用的英語句子并不都像基本句型這樣簡短， 除了基本句型的成分不變外， 通常是在這些成分的前面或后面增加一些修飾語，即增加定語或狀語。這些修飾語可以是單詞、短語 （主要是介詞短語、不定式短語和分詞短語）或從句。下面我們僅談使用非謂語來升級簡單句。

[例1]（2012全國Ⅰ卷，申請信：參加夏令營）

原文：The other day I happened to read your advertisement on the Internet. It says that you are holding a summer camp for students from around the world， and Im interested to participate in it.

改寫：The other day I happened to read your advertisement on the Internet， saying that you are holding a summer camp for students from around the world， and Im interested to participate in it.

方法分析：使用動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞短語saying that...補充說明前句中your advertisement的內(nèi)容，句子也因此變得更加生動。

[例 2]（2015全國Ⅰ卷，約稿函：校報約稿）

原文：It carries articles. The articles are written by foreign friends about the cultures of their home countries.

改寫：It carries articles written by foreign friends about the cultures of their home countries.

方法分析：使用動詞的過去分詞短語written by foreign friends充當articles的定語，既能避免使用復合句的厚重，又能使原句“不簡單”。

[例 3]（2010新課標卷，邀請信：邀請外教做比賽評委）

原文：Im writing to you. I want to invite you to be a judge at our English speech contest. The contest is to be held in our school on June 1st.

改寫：Im writing to invite you to be a judge at our English speech contest to be held in our school on June 1st.

方法分析：使用動詞不定式短語to invite you to be a judge充當Im writing的目的狀語，用不定式短語to be held in our school on June 1st做English speech contest 的后置定語，使句式變得更簡潔，也更高級。
