从初阶从句走向高级句型,掌握分词结构助力写作提分
🧩 认识分词结构:表达更灵活、逻辑更清晰
在英语写作中,结构繁复的从句有时显得冗长。通过分词结构(participial constructions),我们可以让句子更紧凑、高级。例如:
- 时间从句改写:
Before she left the room, she turned off the lights.
→ Leaving the room, she turned off the lights. - 原因从句简化:
As he was shocked, he didn’t respond.
→ Shocked, he didn’t respond.
🧠 分词结构分类 & 用法梳理
🔹 现在分词(doing)结构
表示主语正在进行或主动的动作。
✅ Hearing the noise, the baby started crying.
🔹 过去分词(done)结构
强调被动或动作已完成的状态。
✅ Left alone, the child began to cry.
🔹 条件或让步结构
✅ Given more attention, the work could be improved.
✅ Surrounded by difficulties, he never gave up.
🚧 常见误区:逻辑主语一致!
不一致容易造成句义混乱:
❌ Flying in the sky, the mountain looked beautiful.
(错因:“mountain”不能飞)
✅ Flying in the sky, the bird looked magnificent.
✍️ 练习建议
将以下从句句子转换为分词结构:
- While he was watching TV, he heard the news.
- After she had cleaned the room, she took a break.
- As it was broken, the machine didn’t work.
💡 建议:写一段描述某场景的小短文,至少使用两处分词结构。
分词结构是英语书面语和正式表达中不可或缺的一部分。掌握好它,你将告别冗长从句,迈向逻辑简洁、结构优美的英语写作。未来课程还将带你探索倒装句、强调句、状语前置结构等高阶句式,
