英語句子可長可短，同樣的意思也可以用不同的句式表達。如果句子清一色是簡單句，文章必定單調(diào)乏味。最好的方法是以簡單句為基礎(chǔ)，配合適當?shù)牟⒘芯浜蛷碗s句。簡單句可長可短,通常要加些附屬成分，如分詞短語、介詞短語、副詞短語、不定式動詞短語等?？傊?我們在寫作時可根據(jù)情況，使句子多樣化，使文章靈活多姿。例如，下列五個句子的基本概念一樣，但是句式不同，內(nèi)容重點也有些差別。

 

(1) The goats grazed peacefully on the farm and were unaware of the approaching hunter.(兩個并列分句）

(2) Grazing peacefully, the goats on the farm were unaware of the approaching hunter.(現(xiàn)在分詞短語 + 簡單句）

(3) On the farm, the goats grazed peacefully and were unaware of the approaching hunter.(副詞短語 + 兩個并列分句）

(4) There were goats grazing peacefully on the farm, unaware of the approaching hunter.(簡單句 + 形容詞短語）

(5) As the goats grazed peacefully on the farm, they were unaware of the approaching hunter.(原因狀語從句+主句） 再看下面的句子：

The young pilot was on his first overseas training. He felt very uneasy.

(1) The young pilot on his first overseas training felt very uneasy.

(2) The young pilot felt very uneasy during his first overseas training.

(3) The young pilot’s first overseas training made him feel very uneasy.

(4) Extreme uneasiness seized the young pilot on his first overseas training.

(5) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, feeling very uneasy.

(6) It being his first overseas training, the young pilot felt very uneasy.

(7) Being on his first overseas training，the young pilot felt very uneasy.

(8) The young pilot was on his first overseas training and felt very uneasy.

(9) The young pilot, who was on his first overseas training, felt very uneasy.

(10) When the young pilot was on his first overseas training, he felt very uneasy.

(11) As the young pilot was on his first overseas training，he felt very uneasy.

(12) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, so that he felt very uneasy.

在上述12個句子中，（1)-（7)是簡單句，（8)是并列句，（9)-（12)是復雜句。簡單句除（2)和 (7)之外，其他五種句式用的人并不多。

 

我們最喜歡采用復雜句,尤其是（10)和（11)這兩句，其次便是并列句(8)。如果大多數(shù)人的句子只限于(2)、(7)、（8)、（10)和（11)這五種，而其他的句式從來想不到去用，不是很可惜嗎？
