高考写作中的修饰语的问题
1. 我在会上作了重要的关于如何学好英语的报告。
误:He gave an important talk at the meeting about how to learn English well.
析:此句由于修饰语的位置错放而引起的意思模糊。从句子结构来看,很容易让人觉得修饰语about how to learn English well像是修饰the meeting,但根据汉语句子原意,应该修饰talk.
2. 他说了上课迟到的原因,没有人相信。
He gave a reason for his being late for school, which nobody believed.
析:此句也属于修饰语的位置误放。这种错误的修改法有两种:一是使修饰语紧跟他所修饰的成分He gave a reason,which nobody believed,for his being late for school。二是重复被修饰的成分He gave a reason for his being late for school, a reason which nobody believed.
3. 从山上看,我们学校看起来很美。
误:Seeing from the hill, our school looks very beautiful.
析:非谓语动词seeing与句子的主语our school 不构成主动关系,而是被动的。非谓语动词的错用造成句子的不通顺。因此应该为Seen from the hill, our school looks very beautiful.这是同学们写作中最常犯的错误,应该引起高度重视。
