简单句和复合句之间的转换(二)
1.用介词短语把状语从句转换为简单句。

→We’ll play football after school.放学后我们要踢足球。
You must wash your hands before you have meals.
→You must wash your hands before meals.吃饭前你必须洗手。
(2)由if,unless引导的条件状语从句,可以用由without构成的介词短语来代替。例如:
People can’t live if there is no air or water.
→People can’t live without air or water.没有空气和水,人类不能生存。
(3)由because引导的原因状语从句,可以用由because of构成的介词短语来代替。例如:
We didn’t go there because it rained heavily.
→We didn’t go there because of the heavy rain.由于下大雨,我们没有去那里。
(4)由(as...) as引导的比较状语从句,有时可以用“be of the same+名词”结构来代替。例如:
Lily is as old as Lucy.
→Lily and Lucy are of the same age.莉莉和露西年龄一样大。
2.用介词短语把宾语从句转换为简单句。
某些动词后的宾语从句,可以转换为“介词+动名词(短语)”的形式。例如:

→The poor boy doesn’t know the time and the place of his birth.那个可怜的男孩不知道他出生的时间和地点。
3.用介词短语把定语从句转换为简单句。
如果定语从句中的谓语动词have表示“有”的含义,从句可转换成由with构成的介词短语作后置定语。例如:
He is a man who has a lot of money.
→He is a man with a lot of money.他是个有钱人。
