【妙文赏析】
不要小看英语中的逗号
按照结构,英语句子可以分为三大类,即简单句、并列句和复合句。在简单
句和并列句
中,逗号对句子结构没有影响。例如:
1 . However , he wants to be an engineer .
2 . Hearing the news , he looked very happy .
3 . He works in the company , too .
4 . He , together with his classmates , will see the film .
5 . The man , teaching us English , is from the U . S . A .
6 . Stop here , or you will be fined .
上述六个句子中的逗号只起停顿作用。不管有没有逗号,句1 — 句5都是
简单句, 去逗号也是简单句。句6有逗号是并列句,没有逗号也是并列句。但
是在含有非限制性定语从句或状语从句的复合句中,逗号的作用就至关重要了。
请看下面的例题:
1 . The weather turned out to be very good , _____ was more than we could expect .
A . what B . that C . it D . which
此题是考查非限制性定语从句的用法。因为有逗号的存在,我们可以判定逗
号前面的部分为主句,后面的部分为从句,故
为D . which 。假如把逗号
改为句号,则原题空白处应填It 。
2 . He has two sons , both of ____ are studying in Australia .
A . them B . who C . whom D . they
此题和例题1一样,因有逗号的存在,故答案为C . whom , 这样才能使逗
号后面的部分能充当非限制性定语从句。假如把逗号改成句号,上句便成为:He
has two sons . Both of them are studying in Australia .
3 . _____ is known to all , the compass was first made in China .
A . What B . It C . As D . That
其实此题也是要考查非限制性定语从句的用法,只不过是把从句放到了主句
前面。由于从句中缺少主语,那么能充当主语的就只能是关系代词As ( 即选项
C ) 。假如去掉逗号,则应将句子改为:It is known to all that the compass was first made in China . 这时that引导主语从句,It为形式主语。
4 . _____ having lessons , you shouldn’t make noises here .
A . The students are B . As the students are
C . As the students D . Because the students
此题中,逗号后面的部分为主句,逗号前面的部分应为状语。因此,答案应
选用B,以使逗号前面的部分成为状语从句。
5 . _____ , so you should go to help him .
A . As he is in trouble B . He is in trouble
C . Being in trouble D . He being in trouble
此题中,逗号后面的so为并列连词,逗号前后两个分句应该对等。C,D两
个选项不是分句,可排除;A项是as引导的原因状语从句,不能与so连用。因
此,答案为B 。
6 . ____ , they have to have lessons outdoors .
A . The classroom is begin painted B . Being painted
C . Having painted D . The classroom being painted
此题中,逗号后面的部分为主句,逗号前面的部分应为状语 ( 从句或短
语 ) 。由于A项不能作状语从句,可以先排除;而B,C两项的逻辑主语与后面
句子的主语不一致,因此也应该将它们排除。D项虽然不是状语从句,但是它是
由状语从句简化而来的独立主格结构,同样能作状语,故答案为D 。

单元语法发散思维
一、介词形式,被动意义
This new railway is still under construction . 这条新铁路仍在建设中。
本句中的under construction “正在建设中”。介词under构成的短语,如果
在„„过程中”。它可它的宾语是表示动作的名词,通常含有被动意义,意为“
改换为被动语态。但介词结构使句子言简意赅,避免过多地使用被动语态。这种
介词短语在句中常作表语,也可作补足语或定语。例如:
Your suggestion is still under discussion . 你的建议正在讨论中。
He is said to be under arrest fr stealing . 据说他由于偷窃被捕了。
The house under repair is our classroom building . 正在修建的房屋是我
们的教学楼。
常见的这类under短语还有:
under attack在进攻中,under arrest在关押中,under consideration在考
虑中,under construction在建设中,under contact在联系中,under discussion
在讨论中,under examination在审查中,under investigation在调查中,under
repair在修理中,under review在审议中 under treatment在医治中,under
trial在受审中
还有一些介词,如in , on , for , above , beyond , past , out of , within等,也可以构成表示动作的介词短语。如:
The writer has finished writing his novel but it is not yet in print . (= „being printed)
作者已经写完了他的小说,但尚未出版。
Grapes from XinJiang are on sale . (=„to be rented) 还有两间房出租。
His virtue is above all praise . (=„can’t be praised completely) 他
的美德赞颂不尽。
The fellow’s insolence is beyond endurance . (=„can’t be endured) 这家伙傲慢无礼,叫人受不了。
His car was out of control . (=„could not be controlled)那部汽车失去了控制。
The pain was almost past bearing . (=„couldn’t be borne) 痛得简直受不了。
The city is already within sight . (=„can be seen already) 城市已经望得见了。(在视野之中)
二、主动形式被动意义
初学被动语态不少同学常将应该用主动形式的句子错用为被动形式。请看如
下句子和两
道高考题:
1. Those programmes are usually easy to receive and not difficult to understand .
2. They were still difficult to read and were very heavy to carry .
3. The sick woman needs ______ ( MET88 – 2 )
A . Looking after B . to be looking after
C . to look after D . being looked after (A)
4. We think the film is ______ ( MET85 – 1 )
A . worth to see B . worthy of seeing
C . worth seeing D . worthy to see I
句1意思为:这些节目通常很容易接收到而且也不难理解。句2意思为:这
些书籍读起来还是很费劲,拿起来又很重。在学习句1句2时,学生习惯误译为:
1. Those programmes are usually easy to be received and not difficult to
be understood . 2. They were still difficult to be read and were very heavy
to be carried . 所以
一下主动形式表被动意义的情况是十分必要的。
(一) 不定式主动形式表被动意义
1 . 当不定式用在作表语的形容词后,在句中作状语,而句中的主语又是不
定式的逻辑宾语时,通常用不定式主动形式表示被动意义。如上述句1句2。能
带主动语态的不定式而表达被动意义的形容词常见的有:easy、difficult、
heavy、hard、nice、bitter、dangerous、light、interesting、important、
expensive、fit、comfortable、pleasant、impossible等。其句型为S + link v
+ adj . + infinitive ( 主动语态 ) ,类似这种貌似主动实为被动的系表结
构的又如以下例句。
Habits are easy to make but hard to break . ( Habits是to make、
to break的逻辑宾语 ) 。
The water is fit to drink .
The picture is pleasant to look at .
2 . 当不定式所修饰的名词或代词是动词的宾语,而句子的主语也是不定式
的逻辑主语时。例如:
Mathilde only has a small cold room to live in . ( Mathilde是to live
in的逻辑主语 )
He bought some magazines to read . ( He是to read的逻辑主语 )
3 . 当不定式所修饰的名词或代词,是及物动词的直接宾语,而间接宾语是
不定式的逻辑主语时。例如:
Mother always gives her little daughter some picture books to
read . ( Her little daughter是to read的逻辑主语 )
The teacher gave the students some paper to write on . ( The students
是to write on的逻辑主语 )
4 . 当不定式所修饰的名词或代词,是“there be„. ”结构句中的主语时
( 此处用主动或被动式,一般说来无意义上的不同 ) 。例如:
There are many problems to work out . ( to be worked out )
(二) 在动词want、need、require等后面常用动名词表示被动含义,等于不定式的被动形式。再如:
The bike needs ( wants ) repairing ( = to be repaired ) . 自行车需要修理了。
(三) worth后跟动名词主动形式表示被动,但是不跟不定式的被动。再如:
This novel is well worth reading。这本小说很值得阅读。
(四) 有些动词不及物动词,只有主动形式,常视为主动表被动。如:
1 . take place、happen、break out等。
A big fire happened / took place / broke out last night .
2 . 感官动词 ( taste ; feel ; smell ; sound ; look ) 用主动形式表示被意思。请看:
How sweet the music sounds !
Good medicine tastes bitter to the mouth .
3 . write、read、sell、keep、prove、weigh、number、drink、wear、pay、wash、open常用主动形式表被动意义。请看下面句子:
The book sells well . ( 这本书销路很好。 )
The door will not open . ( 这扇门就是打不开。 )
This dress washes better . ( 这衣服较好洗。 )
The sign reads as follows . ( 这牌子告示如下。 ) 三、be made of及其他
1 . 制成品中能看出原料,用be made of ; 制成品的原料变化看不出来,用be made from。如:
The desk is made of wood .
Paper is made from wood . 2 . 用of时可用out of表示语气的加强。如:
This cup is made out of glass .
We make bread out of flour . (不要省去out。成品(bread)做宾语时,
要说out of。)
3 . 原料前用with , 表示这种原料是这种制成品的主要原料,或能说明其特点
的一种原料,或者强调用什么
。如:
A fruit cake is made with fruit .
Can you make a boat with this piece of wood ? 4 . make„into„意为“将(什么原料)制成(什么成品)”。如:
Glass can be made into cups .
We can make glass into cups .
5 . be made up of,意为“由„„组成,由„„构成”,相当于consist of。
如:
Our class is made up of sixty students .
This machine is made up of hundreds of different parts .
6 . be made in+地点,意为“由(某地)制造,在(某地)制造”。如:
This machine is made in China . 【动脑动手】
