语句扩展
<p>英文段落中的各个语句在长度上应该有一定变换，即所谓的长短句之说。</p><p>短句给人以精炼强调之感，长句则给人以严谨深刻之感。一般说来，长句有两种情况，一种是由于结构复杂而形成的长句，多见于书面语;还有一种是由简单句扩展而成以使语句表达得更加生动和清楚，主要出现在口语的表达中。</p><p>例如，有人曾请两个人用英文表达同一内容：今有一物，不知其数，三三数之余二;五五数之余三;七七数之余二。问物几何?</p><p>第一个人的英文表达：<span word="We">We</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="number">number</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="which">which</span>, <span word="counted">counted</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="threes">threes</span>, <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="two">two</span>; <span word="by">by</span> <span word="fives">fives</span>, <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="three">three</span>; <span word="and">and</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="sevens">sevens</span>, <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="two">two</span>. <span word="Find">Find</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="number">number</span>.</p><p>第二个人的英文表达：<span word="We">We</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="which">which</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="number">number</span>. <span word="If">If</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="count">count</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="threes">threes</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="remainder">remainder</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="two">two</span>. <span word="If">If</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="count">count</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="fives">fives</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="remainder">remainder</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="two">two</span>. <span word="If">If</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="count">count</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="sevens">sevens</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="remainder">remainder</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="two">two</span>. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="there">there</span>?</p><p>英文写作不能一味地使用短句。段落中的短句过多，不仅使得段落显得单调，而且使得段落非常零散、内容浅薄。如果一旦发现段落中尽是写短句的话，这时就需要将某些简短的语句扩展成比较长的句子。</p><p>语句的扩展主要是在语句的主干上增添修饰成分(如定语、状语等)。</p>
