小编:Hosea 337长期以来,英语中复合句的学习对很多学生来说一直是一个不小的难题。而且复合句在雅思考试中地位也是至关重要的,比如如何看懂雅思阅读中的长难句,如何写出结构正确的复合句。
英语的复合句一般分为三大类型:名词性从句、形容词性从句和副词性从句。下面我们首先来看一下名词性从句的用法。
名词性从句,顾名思义,在整个复合句中起名词作用,可以充当主语、宾语、表语和同位语等的各种从句。名词性从句主要有以下几种:
1. that 引导的从句
e.g. It is reported that one third of the citizens plan to buy a private car.
(据报道,三分之一的市民打算购买私家车。)
2. whether/if 引导的从句
e.g. Whether motorcycles should be banned in Changchun has become an issue of controversy.
(长春是否禁摩托车成了有争议的话题。)
3. how/why/when/where引导的从句
e.g. This essay aims to explore why so many white collar workers suffer from insomnia.
(本文将探讨为什么这么多白领失眠的原因。)
4. who/whom/whose/what/which引导的从句
e.g. Who should be responsible for the environmental degradation is still unknown.
(谁对环境恶化负责还不清楚。)
