英語的表達(dá)方式是非常靈活而又多種多樣的藏鹊。人們常常用各種不同的形式诀黍、措辭去表示同一個(gè)意思。
英語定語從句與分詞短語的轉(zhuǎn)換就是其中之一萤厅,這就是說毕贼,在表達(dá)同一個(gè)意思時(shí)吃ǘ睿可用定語從句和分詞短語兩種不同的表達(dá)方式尽纽。
然而,我們不能見到定語從句乃坤,就可隨意將其改為分詞短語作定語的句子苛让,而要視情況而定。
以下從三個(gè)方面對(duì)定語從句與分詞短語的轉(zhuǎn)換作些介紹湿诊。
A
主動(dòng)式定語從句與分詞短語的轉(zhuǎn)換
在主動(dòng)式定語從句中狱杰,如關(guān)系代詞作從句中的主語,其謂語是一個(gè)行為動(dòng)詞時(shí)厅须,在以下情況下仿畸,一般都可轉(zhuǎn)換為相應(yīng)的分詞短語。
a.定語從句的謂語動(dòng)詞和主句的謂語動(dòng)詞在時(shí)間上是一致的朗和,這主要見于兩種情況:
一是主從句的謂語動(dòng)詞都是一般過去時(shí)
二是主從句的謂語動(dòng)詞都是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)
例如 :

b.從句的謂語動(dòng)詞是進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài),主句的謂語動(dòng)詞可以是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)眶拉、過去時(shí)或其他時(shí)態(tài)千埃。

d.如果從句的謂語動(dòng)詞后沒有作狀語的介詞短語耀里,或者從句中衹有謂語動(dòng)詞,轉(zhuǎn)換后拾氓,現(xiàn)在分詞常置于中心詞之前冯挎。
例如:
The countries which are developing should get united.
→ The developing countries should get united .
發(fā)展中的國家應(yīng)該團(tuán)結(jié)起來
Dogs that bark seldom bite.

e.如果定語從句的謂語有表示程度痪枫、時(shí)間和方式的副詞或副詞短語修飾語织堂,這時(shí)可轉(zhuǎn)換為帶這種副詞的現(xiàn)在分詞作中心詞的前置修飾語叠艳,其副詞和現(xiàn)在分詞之間必須用連字號(hào)連結(jié)起來奶陈。
例如:

f.如定語從句中的謂語動(dòng)詞只帶一個(gè)普通名詞作賓語潦俺,這時(shí)從句除可直接轉(zhuǎn)換為分詞短語作后置定語外,還可轉(zhuǎn)換為帶這種名詞的現(xiàn)在分詞作定語徐勃,其名詞和現(xiàn)在分詞之間必須用連字符事示。
試比較:

B
被動(dòng)式定語從句與分詞短語的轉(zhuǎn)換
a.如果被動(dòng)式定語從句中含有作狀語的介詞短語,這種定語從句可轉(zhuǎn)換為過去分詞作原定語從句中心詞的后置定語臀脏,過去分詞所表示的時(shí)間一般在謂語動(dòng)詞之前劝堪,其動(dòng)作具有完成意義。
