8、。Lessons which are learned easily are soon forgotten.=Lessons learned easily are soon forgotten.容易学习的功课很快就会忘了。若关系代词之后没有be动词而为一般动词,则删去关系代词,再将动词改为现在分词。e.g.Anyone who wishes to leave early may do so.=Anyone wishing to leave early may do so.任何想要早一点儿离开的人都可以离开。(2)状语从句改为分词短语的方法:先将引导状语从句的连接词去掉。状语从句的主语与主句的主语
9、相同时,再把状语从句的主语去掉,如不相同则保留。任何动词(包括be动词)均改为分词。(如为进行式,则须把be动词去掉)分词为being和having been时,可以把省略掉。如遇到否定词则放在分词前。(否定词+分词)句子的其余部分不变。前后主语相同的情况:e.g.After I had seen my brother,I felt much relieved.=Having seen my brother,I felt much relieved.见到哥哥之后,我觉得轻松多了。As he is ill,he cant attend the meeting.=Being ill,he cant
10、 attend the meeting.他因病不能出席会议。When he was buying the book,he met an old friend.=Buying the book,he met an old friend.他买书的时候,遇到一位老朋友。As he has been praised too much,he becomes too proud.=(Having been) Praised too much,he becomes too proud.他因为受到过分的夸奖,而变得骄傲。前后主语不相同的情况(带有逻辑主语的分词短语,称为独立主格结构):e.g.After th
11、e sun had set,we arrived at the station.=The sun having set,we arrived at the station.我们于日落后到达车站。When school was over,the boys went home.=School being over,the boys went home.放学了,男孩子们回家了。As my homework has been done,I have nothing else to do.=My homework (having been) done,I have nothing else to do.
12、因为我的作业写完了,所以我没有别的事做。注1:若状语从句的主语为人称代词时,虽然和主句的主语不同,分词短语的主语也可以省略,此分词短语也称为独立分词短语。e.g.If we speak strictly,you are not justified.=(We)Strictly speaking,you are not justified.严格地说起来,你没有理由。If we take all things into consideration,he is an honorable man.=(We) Taking all things into consideration,he is an ho
13、norable man.从各方面来说,他是个可敬的人。注2:状语从句改为分词短语时,若主句的动词为现在式,状语从句的动词为过去式,而为了要表示状语从句的动作时间早于主句的动词,应改为完成式分词,表示比主句动词的动作先发生。e.g.As he was idle in his youth,he has to work hard in his old age.=(Having been) idle in his youth,he has to work hard in his old age.他因为年轻时不务正业,现在年老了必须苦干。(3)并列句改为分词短语的方法:分词短语可代替并列句中的一个句子,
14、其作用是说话者对主要句子的叙述加以补充说明。并列句主语相同时,保留一个主语即可,即and(+主语)+v.=-ing.e.g.My train starts at twelve,and (it) will arrive in Wuhan at three.=My train starts at twelve,arriving in Wuhan at three.我乘的火车十二点开,将于三点钟抵达武汉。She alone remained at home,and (she) cleaned the rooms and washed clothes.=She alone remained at ho
15、me,cleaning the rooms and washing clothes.她一个人留在家里,清扫房间、洗衣服。并列句主语不同时,改为独立主格结构,两个主语都保留。e.g.He was reading a book,and his wife was knitting beside him.=He was reading a book,his wife knitting beside him.他在看书,他太太在他旁边织衣服。They were still in the room,and tears ran down their cheeks.他们还在房间里,泪流满面。=They were
16、 still in the room,tears running down their cheeks.分词短语亦可代替第一个并列句,但常常放在句子的后部。e.g.I walked on tiptoe,and approached the window.=I approached the window,walking on tiptoe.我踮起脚尖悄悄地走近窗户。He looked up at his father,and asked what was the matter with him.=He asked what was the matter with him,looking up at
17、 his father.他抬头看看他的父亲,问他出了什么事。连接词+分词此种句型,实际上是从属连词when,while,though等后省略了句意明确的主语和be动词而来的。e.g.While fighting in Korea,he was taken prisoner.=While he was fighting in Korea,he was taken prisoner.在韩国作战时,他被俘虏了。He will do better if properly encouraged.=He will do better if he is properly encouraged.如果有适当的鼓
18、励,他会做得更好。注:after doing和before doing为介词短语,after,before是介词,doing为动名词,不在此讨论范围。2.variety用法归纳:(1)variety可作不可数名词,表示“变换花样,多种多样”等。Im for variety.我赞成变换花样。We demand more variety for our food.我们要求食品的花样多一点。Life at school has plenty of variety.学校的生活有多种多样的内容。(2)还可作可数名词,表示“品种,各类”。There are several varieties of red

22、词语辨析1.faraway,far away;far (away) from,away from以上词语均与“远”有关,用法有如下区别:(1)faraway是形容词,意为“遥远的;久远的”,可指地点和时间。如:My friend lives in a faraway town.我朋友住在一个很远的城镇里。He told me a story which took place in faraway Stuart times.他给我讲述了一个发生在遥远的斯图亚特时代的故事。(2)far away是短语,用来表示距离,在句中作状语或表语,意为“远;遥远”,有时away可省略。如:The town m
23、y friend lives in is far (away).我朋友住的城镇很远。(3)far away from的意思是“离很远”,常表示距离,作表语或状语,away可省略。另外,它还有“远非,远远没有”的意思,后跟名词、代词或形容词。如:The school is far (away) from my house.我家离学校很远。The sun is far (away) from the earth.太阳离地球很远。Your work is far from (being) satisfactory.你的工作远远不能令人满意。The patient is far from well.病
24、人离康复还差得远。Youve done a nice job!你干得很出色!Far from it.还差得远呢。(4)away from用于表示确切的距离(此时不用far),away可省略,但如果句子不带from短语,则不能省。如:He lives two miles (away) from here.他住的地方离这儿有两英里远。He lives two miles away.他住在两英里远的地方。注意:不能说:He lives two miles far from here.2.beach,coast,seaside,shore这四个词都可用来表示“海滨”这一意思。beach指海边、湖边或河
25、边比较平坦、覆盖沙或小石子、适宜于游泳、日光浴或度假的地方;seaside与beach同义,但只能是海边娱乐的地方;shore是谈及水域的一种较为笼统的说法,既可指beach,也可指陡峭岩石耸立的地方;coast常指海洋与陆地的分界线,是一个谈及地图、气候、海岸防卫时的用语。试比较下面的句子: (1)I like lying on the beach bathing in the sun.我喜欢躺在沙滩上,沐浴着阳光。They walked for a while along the beach.他们沿海滩走了一会儿。(2)After the storm there was a lot of
