当时间状语从句、原因状语从句和条件状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,可将从句变为分词短语状语。原主句的主语成为分词的逻辑主语。改写方法如下:
1. 当从句的谓语动词是主动语态的一般时态或进行时态时,变从句为一般式的现在分词。例如:
When she saw the jewels,she jumped with the joy.
Seeing the jewels, she jumped with the joy.
2. 从句的谓语部分是“be +形容词或名词”的系表结构时,变从句为“Being +表语”的现在分词短语。
As he was seriously ill,he went home.
Being seriously ill,he went home.
3. 从句的谓语动词是被动语态的一般时态时,变从句为过去分词短语。例如:
As they are led by the Party,the people have greatly improved their living condition.
Led by the Party, the people have greatly improved their condition.
4. 从句的谓语部分是“be + 过去分词”的系表结构时,变从句为过去分词短语。例如:
As he was filled with new ideas,the young man invented many kinds of modern machines.
Filled with new ideas, the young man invented many kinds of modern machines.
5. 从句的谓语动词是完成时态, 变从句为完成式的现在分词短语.例如:
As I have seen him before, I easily recognized him.
Having seen him before, I easily recognized him.
6. 从句是after引导的, 谓语动词是一般时态,也变从句为完成式的现在分词短语。例如:
After she lit a candle,she went out.
Having lit a candle, she went out.
7. 从句是否定句时,把从句变成否定分词短语,即“not+分词短语”例如:
As he didn’t know what to do,he asked me for help.
Not knowing what to do,he asked me for help.
8. 从句跟在主句后时,改写后的分词短语置以句首。例如:
The park looks very beautiful when it is seen from the hill.
Seen from the hill, the park looks very beautiful.
9. 从句是名词作主语时, 应将这个名词调换到主句的主语位置。例如:
As the factory was regarded as the best one in the city,it was given a medal.
Regarded as the best one in the city,the factory was given a medal.
10. 如果由when或while引导的从句的时态是现在进行时,从句可变成“现在分词”,置以句首、句尾皆可。
They waved again and again to us, when ( while ) they were leaving the airport.
When (While)leaving the airport, they waved again and again to us.
11. if引导的条件状语从句, 谓语是一般时态,应用现在分词作条件状语.例如:
If you listen to the expert,you will certainly succeed.
Listening to the expert, you will certainly succeed.
