英语四六级写作的独立主格构造技巧独立主格构造指带主语的动词分词、介词、或副词词组。何谓 独立主格构造?它是指与主语之间无任何语法关系的名词或代词加上一个分词 的构造。它不修饰单个的词,而修饰整个句子。独立主格构造可位于 句子的任何部位。它构成一个单独实体,并具有如下两种功能:(1)解 释原因或情景(2)提供主句中重点局部的相关细节。例 F reud distinguished three kinds of anxiety, each arising from a different source of perceived danger.each是独立主格构造,arising from是动词短语。注意这 个独立主格构造是一个干巴巴的句子。通过改变动词形式,它的相 貌可焕然一新:Each arises from a different source of perceived danger.再看以下例句B efore: H is nose was running and his hands were shaking. He left the theater like that.I nteresting: H is nose running and his hands shaking, he left the theater.Before: He is known for his bad temper, so I fear the encounter.I nteresting: I fear the encounter, his temper being what it is.Plain: I f the weather is favorable tomorrow, we will spend the entire day cl imbing Huang S han.Good: Weather permitting, we will spend the entire day tomorrow climbing Huang S han.Plain: Let' s pray that the S outheast Asian economy will soon return to normal.G ood: T he S outheast A sian economy, G od willing, will soon return to normal.Plain: Early radio reports exaggerated the success of the raid on the E mbassy.
