只有當你熟悉單句后,才可以將句子連接起來。
方法1:如果兩個簡單句沒有因果關系,基本上是兩個獨立的事情,往往可以簡單地用and相連。
舉例:Children are not sensitive to prices and parents prefer to satisfy their needs.
方法2:如果兩個簡單句有一定的因果關系,往往可以用狀語從句相連。
一般來說,if 和when引導條件狀語從句(也有一定因果關系,只是不那么強)
舉例:If advertising campaigns directed at children are regulated, children will not pester their parents to buy many goods for them.
Since, as, because, so等引導原因或者結果狀語從句,表示比較強的因果關系
舉例:Some children like fast food since they are overwhelmed by fast food advertisements every day.
方法3:如果狀語從句怕重復,可以用and(或者;)+連接詞的方式
有很多連接詞because of this, as a result of this, consequently, as a consequence 等,都是表示因果關系。
舉例:Some children are addicted to violent video games, and because of this, they can show aggression and bully their peers at school.
方法4:如果第一個單句的最后一個單詞和第二個單句的第一個單詞重復,可以用定語從句連接。
舉例:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games. These games are normally promoted by advertising firms.
可以改成:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games, which are normally promoted by advertising firms.
方法5:如果第二個單句是第一個單句的結果,有可能使用非限制性定語從句
舉例:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products. This enables parents to make well-informed buying decisions.
可以改成:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products, which can help parents to make well-informed buying decisions.
簡而言之,不要嫌棄簡單句,簡單句寫熟了,復雜句很容易寫。
