【中心思想】:全名放在主句里,代詞放在從句里

復合句里必須有兩個主語,一般來說,一個是全名、一個是代詞。這點英漢相同,但是對于全名和代詞的位置,英漢卻相反。雖然英語的主句往往出現(xiàn)在從句后面,但英語的全名需要放在在主句里,代詞,包括物主代詞和所屬格放在從句,這是因為英語以主句為中心。漢語的全名出現(xiàn)在從句里,代詞出現(xiàn)在從句里,這是因為漢語重視時間和邏輯的順序。讓我們來看看以下的例句都有哪些問題吧。

例1:Since Mary got married,she has been living in New York.?(錯)

應該改成:Since she got married, Mary has been living in New York.?

自從瑪麗結婚之后,她一直住在紐約。

例2:?In Mozart’s childhood, he was exposed so much to music.?(錯)

應該改成:In his childhood, Mozart was exposed so much to music.?

在莫扎特小的時候,就常常接觸到音樂。

例3:When John’s father died, he was only 6.?(錯)?

在約翰爸爸去世時候,他才六歲。

應該改成:When his father died, John was only 6.

例4:In the policeman's hurry to get from one place to another, he failed to see anything on the way.?

當警察急急忙忙從這兒到那兒的時候,他一路上什么也沒有看見。

應該改為:In his hurry to get from one place to another, the policeman failed to see anything on the way.?
