狀語前置是很多同學很難弄懂的一個語法狀態(tài),那么不懂的同學們今天就和出國留學網(wǎng)來看看雅思寫作狀語前置。
狀語前置就是把一個修飾動詞的狀語結構,如介詞短語,分詞形式或動詞不定式引導的短語放到句首。請看下面的句子:
(1)Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness.
(2)Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural purposes.
(3)With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries.
使用狀語前置的最大優(yōu)點是讓單調(diào)的句子有了跳躍的節(jié)奏感??脊僖惶炜瓷习購埧季恚吹竭@樣的句子也會心情愉悅。
注意:插入語
此種語法結構是可以理解為是狀語前置的另一種變體,它將狀語結構提到了主句的主語和謂語之間。插入語也是相對地道的英語表達方法。請看以下幾例:
(1)Universities, when it is functioning well, should offer both theoretical knowledge as well as professional training.
(2)So overall, I believe that, attending school from a young age is good for most children.
插入語的功能和狀語前置基本相似,都能使句子更有跳躍感和地道。
