1.
His homework done, he went to watch
TV.=After his homework was done, he went to watch TV.
功课做好后,他去看电视了。
2.
She not feeling well, we were quite
worried.=As she was not feeling well, we were quite
worried.因为她身体不舒服,我们甚感担忧。
3.
Weather permitting, the sports
meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. = If
weather permits, the sports meeting will be held the day after
tomorrow. 如果天气好的话,运动会将在后天举行。
从上面三个例句中可以看出,一般表时间、原因、条件的独立主格结构可以转换成状语从句。
二、转换成并列句
1. A young woman got on the bus, a
baby in her arms.=A young woman got on the bus and a baby was in
her arms.一位年轻妇女手里抱着小孩上了公共汽车。
2. The boy lay on the grass silently,
his eyes fixed upon the sky.=The boy lay on the grass silently and
his eyes were fixed upon the sky.那男孩静静地躺在地上,双眼盯着天空。
从以上两例中可以看出,通常表伴随方式、补充说明的独立主格结构可以转换成并列句。
三、转换成带with/without的复合结构
1. Night falling, we hurried
home=With the night falling, we hurried home.夜幕降临,我们匆忙回家。
2. The signal given, the train left
the railway station.=With the signal given, the train left the
railway station.信号发出后,火车离开了车站。
3. The thief sat at the corner, his
hands behind his back.=The thief sat at the corner, with his hands
tied behind his back.小偷坐在角落,双手反绑再后面。
转换时还需注意两点:
1. 独立主格结构中的逻辑主语为主格,改为with/without复合结构时要改为宾格,例:They
leading the way(=With them leading the way),we had no trouble in
finding the house.由于有他们带路,我们毫不费劲就找到了那座房子。
2.独立主格结构中介词(尤其是in时)前后的名词前的冠词或物主代词常常省略,但在with/without 复合结构中,这些名词或物主代词不可省略。例:The teacher came into the classroom ,book in
hand(=with a book in his hand) 那位老师手里拿着一本书走进了教室。
