雅思考试必备：如何看清长难句的结构关系

　　可以变为：Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man saved up for years to buy a real bed.

　　示例4：Jimmy was dressed up as Father Christmas. He was accompanied by a guard of honor of six pretty girls. He set off down the main street of the city. He rode a baby elephant. The elephant was called Jumbo. 

　　可以变为：Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a guard of honor of six pretty girls, Jimmy set off down the main street of the city, riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.

　　定语从句方式处理

　　定语从句当然是属于“从属”的行列，所以，是处理为从属方式的手段之一。请看下面的例子：

　　This is the only book.

　　I read the book during the holiday. 

　　两句的重合点在the book上面；将第二句中的the book抽出来，放到第一句book后面，其它内容向后甩。这样，我们就会看到the only book后面马上又在重复the book。为了避免重复，我们去掉the book，而换用另外一个词去替换，这个词就是指物的which或that。因为这里的book有only在修饰，所以，最终我们选用that；又因为that在定语从句中作宾语，所以，可以省略。

　　下面两句的合并遵循同样的原则：

　　She is the girl.

　　The girl’s father is my boss. 

　　==>She is the girl whose father is my boss.

　　我们预热几个组成复杂句的句型：

　　*…, but…结构(表转折关系)

　　*…, for…结构(表原因关系)

　　*…, so…结构(表结果关系)

　　*…(,/;/.)however,…结构(表更强烈的转折关系)

　　*…(,/;/.) therefore,…结构(更强烈的结果关系)

　　*…(,/;/.)meanwhile,…结构(表时间关系)

　　这些基本知识构成了：

　　*1)简单句合并复杂句

　　*2)复杂句拆分为简单句

　　由“分到合”，由“合到分”的“基石”

　　也是极速学好英语的根本方法或精髓之所在！
