在托福写作中,为了准确表达自己的思维逻辑,大家经常会使用一些复合句,定语从句就是其中最为常见的一种。但是,过于冗长的复合句,又会让全文全文显得过去乏味无趣。下面,就为大家介绍一下如何简化定语从句。
1. 定语从句+形容词/名词补语
The host that is MR. Jackson is on the Evening Show.
àThe host, MR. Jackson, is on the Evening Show.
这里需要注意,表明身份、职业等非限定性定语从句也可简化为同位语结构。
2. 定语从句+介词短语
The seat is for the old lady who is next to you.
àThe seat is for the old lady next to you.
3. 定语从句+过去分词(被动语态)
The show is recorded in studios which are located in Beijing, China.
àThe show is recorded in studios located in Beijing, China.
4. 定语从句+现在分词
We bought tickets to see the Evening Show which is airing this Friday night.
àWe bought tickets to see the Evening Show airing this Friday night.
5. 定语从句+动词不定式/不定式的复合结构
Is there anything else that we can do?
àIs there anything else for us to do?
当然,想要简化定语从句,首先需要的是对于定语从句的一种完全掌握。希望以上的内容能为大家的托福写作带来帮助。
