【注】 as引导的非限制性定语从句常可提前,但and引导的并列句应在前一个分句后。如:
As is often the case, we have worked out the production plan.
可改为:We have worked out the production plan and it is often the case.
二、附属成分作状语
状语是用来修饰限制谓语﹑整个句子或句子里的一部分。常用来作状语的有:形容词﹑副词﹑介词短语﹑非谓语动词和状语从句等等。状语和句子间的逻辑关系各有不同,可以分成不同的状语:原因状语、时间状语、条件状语、结果状语、让步状语、伴随状语、目的状语、结果状语等等。
(1)形容词﹑副词和介词短语等作状语。如:
①Thirsty, he went into a tea house. (thirsty 是形容词,可看成是分词短语being thirsty的省略,对主语he进行补充说明)
②She sat quietly in her seat.(quietly是副词,修饰动作sat)
【注】 形容词通常不作状语,偶尔有形容词作状语,通常表示原因、方式、伴随、时间、让步等。如:
③He came in, full of fear. (表伴随,相当于When he came in, he was full of fear.)
④Ripe, the fruit tastes better. (表时间,相当于When the fruit is ripe.)
⑤Right or wrong, I will stand on your side. (表让步,相当于Whether you are right or wrong.)
(2)非谓语动词(短语),可转换成状语从句。如:
①Lost in the mountains for a week, the two students were finally saved by the local police. =句中黑体部分可补充为:After they were lost in the mountains for a week.
②It was unbelievable that the fans waited outside the gym for three hours just to have a look at the sports stars.
句中黑体部分可改为:in order that they could have a look at the sports stars
(3)状语从句。
①The house could fall down soon if no one does some quick repair work. (表条件)
②Roses need special care so that they can live through winter. (表目的)
③Since /as the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.(表原因)
④He speaks English as though he were an Englishman. (表方式)
熟练掌握句子的附属成分,对准确理解句子意思大有裨益,对长句的理解很有好处。在阅读中,有利于将长句读短,去掉枝蔓,抓住核心,提高篇章的理解能力。了解句子的附属成分也有助于写作。正确使用好句子附属成分能将意思表达更加准确,叙述更加生动,丰富表达方式,增强文章感染力。
