SAT语法知识点:dangling modifier详解

2018-03-01 来源: 网络 作者: 长沙新东方

  先请看下面两句话:

  1. Running home from school, a dog bit me.

  2. When only a child, my father took me to the circus.

  上面两句话第一眼看上去貌似正确,而且它们也的确符合汉语的表达思维。

  第一句字面意思是“从学校跑回家,一条狗咬了我。”

  第二句的意思是“当还是小孩的时候,我爸爸带我去马戏团。”

  But,在英语中,这两句表达都不正确。

  按照英语文法的规则,这类句子中的后半段第一个词应该是前半句的实施方。

  请看例句:

  1. Looking at his watch, Mr. Jones got up and left. 是Mr. Jones 看了手表。

  2. Compared to his father, John is a tall man. 是John 和他父亲做比较。

  这种由逗号分开的前半句叫introductory phrase, 后面半句叫做main clause,在语法中被称为Dangling modifiers---前半句和后半部分的主语是同一个。

  遵循这个规则,那文章开头的两句应该改为:

  1. Running home from school, I was bitten by a dog. 是我从学校回去。

  2. When only a child, I was taken to the circus by my father. 是我小时候。

  这类句子貌似简单,但是在日常学生写作中,错误却非常频繁。以下几个写错的例子都是来自学生作文,后面是对它们的修改。

  1. Playing in the street, a truck hit a child.

  2. To understand the subject, a GREat deal of studying must be done.

  3. Sitting alone in his room, a strange noise frightened him.

  上面三句话建议改写如下:

  1. Playing inthe street, the child was hit by the truck.

  2. To understand the subject, one must do a GREat deal of studying.

  3. Sitting alone in his room, he was frightened by the strange noise.

  下面的这个例子来自SAT语法部分,是上面介绍的语法点的提高版,唯一不同的是单词稍微复杂些,但理解上面的知识点后,做对这题就不难了。

  这题的答案为D,你选对了没?是Careful observer (仔细的观察者)在画作前观看,不是symbol 或者画作中的两个ambassadors.

  在知道规则后一切都变得So easy!
