2、与分词短语的转换

如我们可以用aged 20 years old代换20-year-old;

专家提醒考生们同样需要关注副词短语、不定式短语等与词的代换,让您把variety功夫做足。另外,有一些代换也经常在英文文章中出现。

3、特殊代换

这种代换数量不多,但是出现频率不低,也应该引起关注。

如more and more代换成increasing, growing, rising;

Less and less or few and few代换成reducing,decreasing。

看个例子:

More and more young people (growing number of young people ) are indulged in cyber net.

三、短语与句子的代换

短语与句子尤其是从句的代换也是同义代换的一种形式,在实现句式多样化,用词多样化中扮演着很重要的角色。比较常用的是介词短语、分词短语、不定式短语与从句的转化。下面我们用一个最简单的例子来说明一下。

1、The house( built last year) is large

=the house (which was built last year) is large.

=the house they built last year is large.

2、The house (to be built next year) will be large

=the house (which is to be built next year) will be large.

=the house which they will build last year.

3、The house on fire is very large.

= the house which is on fire is very large.

=the house which catches fire is very large.

从加黑字体的句子中不难看出,定语从句中的“关系代词+be+其它成分”都可以直接用“其它成分”直接做定语;而形容词短语、介词短语、分词短语、不定式短语也完全可以实现代换从句,比如每个例子中的第三个句子,从而使句子更简洁。

总之,提醒各位考生,同义代换在英文作文中的地位不容忽视。让我们从今天开始,注意读过的每一篇纯英文文字,总结出属于自己的同义代换法则,让同义代换在我们的习作中自然展开,相信一定会给英文习作带来巨大的收益。
