英语的不完整结构的性质,表现形式及解决方法

更新时间2018-04-13 15:00:12

不完整的结构(incomplete constructions),顾名思义,就是一个结构中欠缺了某个语言成分,以致不合规格,导致句法上的困惑。

1.“Thank you for yourcontinuous interest and support for our magazines.”

字面意思是“  感谢你对杂志的兴趣与支持”。这句话就属于“不完整结构”,因“interest”后面要加“in”才可以和“support for”对称,但是本句缺少了“in”,这结构便不完整了。

解决方法:最好将两件事分开。改写如下:

“Thankyou for your continuous interest in our magazines and your strong support forthem.”

2. 以下也是属于结构不完整的句子,需要调整写法,使句子的意思清楚易解:

如:Sam is good and successful in painting. 本句中,“擅长于…”是good at…,所以必须在“good”后面补上漏掉的介词“at”。

如:The Chairman's argument was sound and adoptedwithout any discussion. 本句的第二个并列句中的“……adopted……”是个被动式,故前面的助动词“was”不可省。

如:Professor Chen has taught in many universities, London University and Harvard University. 本句中“many universities”包括了所提的两所,所以要在它们前面加“including”(包含)或“such as”(譬如),才合逻辑。  

3.有些不完整的结构是发生在比较句中。

如:

Many buildings in Singapore are as modern as any other city.

这里把“buildings in Singapore”(新加坡的建筑物)和“any othercity”(其它城市)相比,不符合逻辑,应该调整为建筑物间的比较才对:

“Many buildings in Singapore are as modern as those of any other city.”

再如: The athlete is as strong, if not stronger than,the wrestler.

  英语里的“as……as……”是连用的,因此这句要改为“The athlete is as strong as, if not stronger than, the wrestler.”为了紧凑起见,全句也可改写成:“The athlete is as strong as the wrestler, if not stronger.”

再如:Japanese cars use less petroleum.

  本句“日本车用比较少的汽油。”中,另外一样被比较的东西不详,要补上使结构完整。“Japanese cars use less petroleum than European cars.”
