  误区:中式思维 句首多以人做主语
  汉语中被动不多,受中文这一母语的影响太深,再加上对英语的驾驭能力不够,而且考试时精神处于紧张状态,写出来的句子的主语几乎都是人,比如:People can well use Internet bars only in this way; I suggest students should keep away from Internet bars. 这两个句子没有语法错误,但是都是人做主语就会显得很枯燥。怎样使句子主语多变呢?
  对策:
  想改变句首以人做主语,就要借助于“无灵主语”,即:用无生命的东西做主语。主要有2招:
  1. 动词的名词化
  可以把句中的动词变成名词,然后用there be + 转变成的名词,便可摆脱人做主语的困境。
  例1: More and more people accept of the importance of A.
  可以改写成:There is a growing acceptance of the importance of A.
  例2:Someone knocked at the front door.
  把动词knock 变成它的名词 knock, 用there be 来引导
  即写成:There is a knock at the front door.
  2. 形容词的名词化
  可以把句中的形容词变成名词,然后用There be+转变成的名词。
  此方法就是把该句中的形容词改成名词放在there be后面,并用adj.温暖一下该名词就可以了
  例1:We felt very excited/joyful/delighted. 把形容词excited, joyful, delighted变成名词excitement, joy, delight放在there be的后面,再用tremendous, enormous 温暖一下这3个转变成的名词。
  于是上句改成了:There was great/ tremendous/ enormous excitement/joy/delight in my family.
  例2:The crew on board felt much excited when a chest was raised from the bottom. 把形容词excited改成excitement,放在there be的后面,再用tremendous,enormous温暖excitement。
  于是上句改成了:There was tremendous/enormous excitement on board when a chest was raised from the bottom.
  3. 原因状语从句的名词化
  该方法是把原因状语从句中的because, as, since等引导词去掉,把状语从句中的主语去掉,动词变成名词作主语,并加上表因果关系的动词短语,如lead to, result in, bring about, account for, contribute to等表示 “导致,归因于” 的短语即可。
  例1:Because people fail to realize the importance of our environment, water and air are seriously contaminated.把because和people去掉,fail改成名词failure作主语,然后加上lead to/result in/bring about加主句即可。
  于是上句改成了: Failure to realize environmental preservation brings about severe water and air contamination.
  例2:Because people emphasize too much on economic development, our environment is seriously polluted.把because和people去掉,把动词emphasize改成名词emphasis作主语,然后加上lead to/result in/bring about加主句作主语即可。
  于是上句改成:Emphasis on economic development leads to severe environment pollution.
  注意:这一方法把原来的复合句变成了简单句,对动词变成名词这一词性之间的转换要求较高,所以同学们平时注意单词的积累,注意词与词之间词性之间的转换。
