五。指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)
指代不清主要講的是代詞與被指代的人或物關系不清,或者先后所用的代詞不一致。
病句1:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.
(瑪麗和我姐姐很要好,因為她要她做她的伴娘。)
剖析:讀完上面這一句話,讀者無法明確地判斷兩位姑娘中誰將結婚,誰將當伴娘。如果我們把易于引起誤解的代詞的所指對象加以明確,意思就一目了然了。
改為:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.
病句2:And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.
剖析:句中人稱代詞we 和反身代詞yourself指代不一致。
改為:We can also know society by serving it ourselves.
六。不間斷句子(Run-on Sentences)
什么叫run-on sentence?請看下面的例句:
There are many ways we get to know the outside world.
剖析:這個句子包含了兩層完整的意思:“There are many ways.”以及“We get to know the outside world.”。簡單地把它們連在一起就不妥當了。
改為:
There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world.
或:
There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world.
