簡化賓語從句,是同學(xué)們平時(shí)練習(xí)句型轉(zhuǎn)換的一個(gè)非常重要的項(xiàng)目。現(xiàn)將賓語從句的簡化方法及應(yīng)注意的問題做如下歸納,供大家參考。
在hope,forget,promise,decide等動詞之后,由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句可以用動詞不定式(短語)來簡化。例如:
1.The man decided thathe should stop smoking. →
The man decided to stop smoking. 這個(gè)男人決定戒煙。
2.Mr.Wang hoped that he could see you soon.→
Mr.Wang hoped to see you soon.王先生希望不久能見到你。
【特別提醒】
在某些動詞如seem之后的句子盡管可以用動詞不定式或者不定式短語來簡化,但句型要適當(dāng)調(diào)整一下。例如:
It seemed that the boy won the match.→
The boy seemed to win the match.看上去這個(gè)男孩贏了這場比賽。
在show,tell,know,teach,find out,learn等動詞之后,由連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句可以簡化成連接代詞或連接副詞加動詞不定式(短語)。例如:
1.He taught us how we should write the composition.→
He taught us how to write the composition.他教我們?nèi)绾螌戇@篇作文。
2.I don't know how I should answer this question.→
I don't know how to answer this question.我不知道該如何回答這個(gè)問題。
【特別提醒】
有些帶雙賓語的動詞,其后的賓語從句也可以用連接代(副)詞加動詞不定式(短語)來簡化。例如:
The dictionary didn't tell him how he should pronounce the word.→
The dictionary didn't tell him how to pronounce the word.這本詞典沒有告訴他怎樣讀這個(gè)詞。
當(dāng)賓語從句中的主語是it(it在從句中作形式主語)時(shí),可用形式賓語的結(jié)構(gòu)來簡化從句。例如:
1.I found that it was very important to learn English well.→
I found that it very important to learn English well.我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好英語很重要。
2. I feel it is difficult to see this man. →
I feel it difficult to see this man. 我感覺見到這個(gè)人是困難的。
在某些動詞后的賓語從句,可以用動名詞(短語)來簡化。例如:
1.She insisted that she should stay at home.→
She insisted on staying at home.她堅(jiān)持待在家里。
2.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。
在hear,watch,see,notice,find等動詞后的賓語從句,可以用現(xiàn)在分詞(短語)來簡化。例如:
1.We saw that a wallet was lying on the floor just now.→
We saw a wallet lying on the floor just now.剛才我們看見了地上有一個(gè)錢包。
2.Did you notice anyone was standing in front of the tree?→
Did you notice anyone standing in front of the tree?你注意到有人正站在那棵樹前面嗎?
某些賓語從句可以用適當(dāng)?shù)倪^去分詞(短語)來簡化。例如:
1.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)地面被厚厚的積雪覆蓋。
2.The teacher found that the boy was very interested in math.→
The teacher found the boy very interested in math.老師發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)男孩對數(shù)學(xué)很感興趣。
某些由連接代詞或連接副詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,可以用適當(dāng)?shù)摹懊~(短語)”形式來代替賓語從句。例如:
1.I'll take back what I said. →
I'll take back my words. 我將收回我的話。
2.Could you tell us how we can get to the museum? →
Could you tell us the way to the museum?你能告訴我們?nèi)ゲ┪镳^的路嗎?
總之,簡化賓語從句時(shí),應(yīng)視每個(gè)句子的具體情況而變,注意介詞的適當(dāng)添加、連接代(副)詞的準(zhǔn)確使用、非謂語動詞的詞形轉(zhuǎn)換,以及人稱、時(shí)態(tài)和邏輯的一致等。
根據(jù)上句完成下句,使兩句的意思基本一致。每空一詞。
1.I forget I have closed the window this morning.
I forget______the window this morning.
2.Linda hopes she will be back very soon.
Linda hopes____________back very soon.
3.I think it is necessary for us to read a lot.
I think____________for us to read a lot.
4.I can't decide which one I should choose.

5.I heard my name was called.

6.The poor boy doesn't know when he was born.
