UNIT 5
LAUNCHING YOUR CAREER
Review useful structures
To learn something about compound sentences and complex sentences
To learn to change simple sentences into long sentences
To read two profiles and write a paragraph about one of them or any other person you admire
一、简单句
简单句是只有一个主语(或并列主语)和一个谓语(或并列谓语),(也可能有宾语)构成的句子。例如:
eg. Henry often reads English aloud in the morning.
Tom and Mary are American locals.
(并列主语,只有一个谓语)
Frank often goes and skates with Tom in the winter.
(只有一个主语,并列谓语)
Shelly likes drawing and often draws pictures for the school magazines.
(并列谓语,只有一个主语)
语法精析
二、并列句
1. 定义
包含两个或两个以上主谓结构的句子叫并列句,句与句之间通常用并列连词,如and, but, or, so等或分号来连接。例如:
eg. The food was delicious, but he had little appetite this morning.
One of the clock’s hands is short; the other two are long.
2. 并列句的分类
1) 表并列关系,连接词有:and, not only...but also, neither...nor, both...and, not...but…. etc.
I neither knew nor cared what had happened to him.
The new job is not a promotion as such, but it has good prospects.
2) 表转折关系:but, yet, whereas, nevertheless (但是;然而)
Han likes playing basketball, but he didn’t play it yesterday.
Jenny said that she was ill, yet/but/whereas I saw her in the shop just now.
3. 表选择关系:or, otherwise, or else, either...or
Hurry up, or we’ll miss the first train to Shanghai.
-- Either you are mad or I am. --- Both, sir.
4. 表因果关系:for, so
You’d better stay at home, for it was raining outside and a bit cold.
Henry hadn’t studied very hard, so he failed in the final exam.
5. 表对比关系: while
I do almost all of our housework while my husband Tom just helps me to clean floors now and then.
6. 祈使句+and/or +简单句
祈使句表示一个条件,and引导的简单句表示一个承接的结果,or引导的简单句表示一个相反的结果,简单句多用一般将来时态。
Keep working hard, and you will achieve success.
继续努力,你就会成功的。
Never try to waste other people’s time, or we will be punished some day.
不要去浪费别人的时间,不然总有一天我们会受到惩罚。
三、复合句
1. 定义及结构:
由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成的句子叫复合句。在复合句中主句是全句的主体,从句是全句的一个成分,可以是主语、宾语、定语或状语,但不能独立存在。主句与从句之间用关联词连接起来。例如:
Anybody who breaks the laws will be punished.
任何违反法律的人都将受到惩罚。
The film had begun when we got to the cinema.
我们到达电影院的时候,电影已经开演了。
What they will do hasn’t been decided.
我们将要做什么还没有决定下来。
2. 主从复合句的分类
根据从句对主句的修饰、限定和补充作用,主从复合句主要分为名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句。
1) 名词性从句 在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组,因此可分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
That English is of vital importance is not acknowledged by all. (主语从句)
It is unknown when they arrived. (主语从句)
Jack was informed that he should register by August. (宾语从句)
She asked me if/whether I liked swimming. (宾语从句)
The question is whether they have singed a contract. (表语从句)
The question is why he cried yesterday. (表语从句)
There is a rumour that he married a widow. (同位语从句)
The idea that money means everything is not right. (同位语)
2.定语从句
定语从句多由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
People who/that create computer viruses are called hackers.
It was an actor whose name escapes me for the moment.
A prosperity which/that had never been seen before appears in the countryside.
I’ll never forget the days when I worked together with you.
(when在从句中作状语,可替换成介词in+which)
As we know, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there were several attempts to draft a civil code (起草民法典).
(as引导非限制性定语从句,可位于主句前面)
3. 状语从句
用作状语的从句很多,可以表示时间、地点、原因、条件、方式、目的、结果、比较、让步等。
I didn’t work it out until you had explained how. (时间状语从句)
Since/As the weather is bad, we have to delay our meeting. (原因状语从句)
You must speak a bit louder so that/in order that you can make yourself heard by all. (目的状语从句)
He is so young that he can’t go to school by himself. (结果状语从句)
As long as you are good in your health, nothing else matters. (条件状语从句)
Although it’s raining heavily, the farmers are still working in the fields. (让步状语从句)
四、并列复合句
在并列句中,如果两个分句又含有一个或几个从句的话,那就成为更加复杂的并列复合句。例如:
There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer, but there is fierce debate over whether it is human activity that has caused this global warming or whether it is just a natural phenomenon.
毫无疑问,地球正在变暖,但对于是人类活动导致了这种全球变暖,还是这只是一种自然现象,存在着激烈的争论。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第1、2分句中都带有各种从句。
I admire Tim, but he doesn’t admire me, although I try hard to impress him.
我钦佩蒂姆,但他并不钦佩我,尽管我努力想给他留下深刻印象。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第1、2分句与第3分句之间又是主从复合关系。
Even if you fail, at least you try, and you are a better person for it.
即使你失败了,至少你努力了,而且你是做这个事情的理想人选。
前1、2分句是主从复合关系,而第1、2分句与第3分句之间又是并列关系。
Not only did Tom introduce over 120 species of plants to Western gardens but he also shipped 20,000tea plants from Shanghai to India, where a successful tea industry was established.
汤姆不仅将120多种植物引进西方花园,还将20000株茶树从上海运到印度,在那里建立了成功的茶业。
前1、2分句是并列关系,而第2分句与第3分句之间又是主从复合关系。
