复合句

◆什么是复合句

复合句由一个主句和一个或多个从句组成，主句表达的是重要信息，从句起到补充修饰的作用。一个组织严密的复合句通常在包含大量信息的同时，还要正确地反映信息间的逻辑关系。

【佳句选粹】

①There is a rumor that he has married a widow.

【分析】　本句属于复合句，由“主句+同位语从句”构成。“he has married a widow”作为“rumor” 的同位语，由that引导构成了同位语从句。

②Let’s meet tomorrow if it is convenient for you.

【分析】　本句属于复合句，由“主句+条件状语从句”构成。“Let’s meet tomorrow”是主句，“if it is convenient for you”是由if引导的条件状语从句。

◆主要从句类型

英语中的从句有很多类型，因此除了准确判断句子之间的主从关系以外，还要熟悉和掌握各种不同类型的从句。

1.名词性从句：它在句子中可充当主语、宾语、表语、同位语等。

②I wonder if you could stay for another day.

不知你可否再待一天。(宾语)

③The question is whether they have signed a contract.

问题是他们签没签合同。(表语)

④The idea that money means everything is unsound.

金钱万能的思想是错误的。(同位语)

2.定语从句：多由关系代词或关系副词引导。

【佳句选粹】

①Jim introduced me to a girl who sat next to him.

吉姆把我介绍给他旁边的一位姑娘。

②Then I telephoned the doctor (whom)she had recommended.然后我给她推荐的医生打了电话。

③There are the reasons why we did it.

这些就是我们这样做的原因。

3.状语从句：用作状语的从句很多，可以表示时间、地点、原因、条件、方式、目的、结果、比较、让步等。

【佳句选粹】

①We all stood up when he came in.

他进来时我们都站了起来。(时间)

②I didn’t go because I wasn’t feeling well.

我没有去是因为我身体不舒服。(原因)

③It was so dark that we couldn’t see each other’s faces.

天那样黑，我们看不清彼此的脸。(结果)

④Though they were poor，they were still happy.

他们虽然很穷，但仍然很幸福。(让步)

⑤Just as the water is the most important of liquids，air is the most important of gases.

正如水是液体中最重要的一种一样，空气是气体中最重要的一种。(方式)
