英語講義:句子的轉換

所謂句子轉換,就是將一種句式變成另外一種句式,或者用不同的方法表達相同的語意,使句型多樣化,藉以提升寫作的'效果。例如形容詞和副詞可以有不同程度的比較而仍然保持原意。

下面的第一句是原級,可以變成第二句:比較級:

(2) Irene is greater than Nancy.

同樣的,主動語態可以變成被動語態而原意猶存。例如(3)是主動語態,(4)是被動語態,兩句語意不變,只是重點改變。

(4) The good student was given a prize by Mr Lin.

(6) a. She tried to sing her song in an interesting way.

b. She tried to sing her song interestingly.
