1. because + S + V... →
because of + N
說明:because為從屬連接詞,引導表「原因」的從屬子句,不可直接接名詞或動名詞,且不可單獨成句;而because of為介系詞片語,後須接名詞或名詞片語。兩者皆可置於句首或句中,置於句首時,須加逗點隔開兩個子句。
1. Because people like this “green” way of living, more and more companies
are now offering LOHAS goods. →Because of this
“green” way of living, more and more companies are now offering LOHAS
goods.
(由於這種「綠色」的生活方式,越來越多公司現在提供樂活的商品。)
2. The ball game was canceled because
it rained heavily. (由於下大雨,所以球賽取消了。)
→The ball game
was canceled because of the heavy rain.
3. Because there was a
big earthquake, many houses were destroyed.
→Because of the big earthquake, many houses were destroyed. (因為大地震,很多房子都損毀了。)
2. N + who/which/that + V... → N + V-ing...
說明:此句型為關係子句簡化成「分詞片語」的用法。當關係代名詞為主格時,可將其省略,並將關係子句裡的動詞改為表主動的現在分詞(V-ing);若關係子句為進行式時,則只須將關係代名詞和be動詞省略即可。
1. LOHAS has become a term which/that describes a healthy and earth-friendly lifestyle.
→LOHAS has
become a term describing a healthy and earth-friendly
lifestyle.
(樂活已經成為一個描述一種健康且環保的生活方式的用語了。)
2. Do you know the man who/that sits over there?
→Do you know
the man sitting over there? (你認識坐在那邊的那個男子嗎?)
3. The little cat which/that is walking toward us looks cute.
→The little
cat walking toward us looks cute. (朝我們走來的小貓看起來很可愛。)
3. what = the thing(s) which/that
說明:1. what在此為複合關係代名詞,可作主詞、受詞或補語,表示「非特定的事物」,等同於the thing(s) which/that。複合關係代名詞兼具先行詞和關係代名詞的作用,相當於「先行詞 + 關係代名詞」。
2. 注意,當what作為主詞引導名詞子句時,須視為單數,後接單數動詞。
1. What the student does is an example of LOHAS. (這位學生所做的事便是一個樂活的例子。)
→The things
which/that the student does are an example of LOHAS.
2. Cathy happily showed me what she bought today. (Cathy 開心地向我展示她今天買的東西。)
→Cathy happily
showed me the thing(s) which/that she bought today.
3. I don’t think what Eric said was right. (我不認為Eric
說的事情是對的。)
→I don’t think
the thing which/that Eric said was right.
4. N-Adj
說明:此為「名詞 + 形容詞」所構成的複合形容詞。複合形容詞是由兩種或兩種以上獨立的字組合而成的形容詞,這些字之間通常會加上連字號(-)。複合形容詞有非常多種,以下概列九種常見的組合:
1. N + V-ing:time-consuming (耗費時間的)、peace-loving (愛好和平的);
2. N + Vpp:handmade (手工的)、man-caused (人為的);
3. N + Adj:world-famous (世界聞名的)、fat-free (不含脂肪的);
4. Adj + V-ing:good-looking (好看的)、sweet-smelling (香氣迷人的);
5. Adj + Vpp:newborn (新生的)、red-dyed (染成紅色的);
6. Adv + V-ing:fast-moving (快速的)、long-lasting (持久的);
7. Adv + Vpp:carefully-made (仔細製作的)、well-known (知名的);
8. Adj + N-ed:good-hearted (好心腸的)、middle-aged (中年的);
9.數量詞+單數名詞:名詞多為時間、價值、長度等的數值,ten-minute (十分鐘的)、five-story (五層樓的)。

3. Olivia is on a diet, so she only drinks fat-free milk. (Olivia 正在節食,所以她只喝脫脂牛奶。)
5. S + V + rather than + N/V... → S +
V + instead of + N/V-ing...
說明:1. rather than和instead of均為「而不是……」或「代替……」的意思,不過rather than後面須接原形動詞,instead of則須接現在分詞。
2. instead of也可以副詞instead替代,instead表示「反而,作為替代」的意思,可置於句首或句尾;置於句首時,需以逗號與句子隔開。要注意的是,instead所接的句子表示「有去做的事情」,而instead of接的句子則意味著「沒有去做的事情」。

save more electricity.

ride a scooter. (我們可以用走的或是搭乘公車,以代替騎摩托車。)
→We can walk
or take a bus instead of riding a scooter.

from the store.
