2011英語四級語法輔導(dǎo)在本地常見的句式
有沒有寫過像下面這樣的句子：
“Due to growth in business， we now have the following career opportunities to offer to the right candidates.”
&“Due to expansion， we have a number of vacancies within our Singapore operation and are seeking to recruit technicians.”
這兩個常?？梢砸姷降木渥佣己芎?，很清楚。我要談?wù)劦闹皇恰癲ue to”的位置問題。
嚴(yán)格地說，“due to”不管是當(dāng)“由于”或“應(yīng)歸于”解，都不放在句前，而要出現(xiàn)在句后，好是在“Be”之后，如：
① The company‘s problems are due to bad management and staff shortage.
② Some staff came late， due to traffic congestion.
如果要“由于”出現(xiàn)在句前也行，但要用“due to”的同義詞“owing to， because of， on account of”，甚至“thanks to”。因此，文前的兩句話和下面兩句都好改一改：
③ Due to their outward appearance， American Chinese are still considered Chinese. （→ Because of）
④ Due to the opening up of China’s economy， many people have been going there to do business. （→On account of）
另一個本地常見的句式是：“The reason is because……”，如：
⑤ Janet cannot speak Mandarin well. The reason is because she has not learned it properly.
根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，上面這話的主句是“The reason is”，后面的分句應(yīng)該是名詞性的才適合當(dāng)接系動詞“is”的補(bǔ)足語（complement）。因此，好把原因副詞分句“because she has not learned it properly”改為名詞分句（noun clause）：
The reason is that she has not learned it properly.
不然就要調(diào)整句式如下：
⑥ Janet cannot speak Mandarin well because she has not learned it properly.
⑦ The reason why Janet cannot speak Mandarin well is that she has not learned it properly.
后一個漸漸見到的句式和從屬連詞（Subordinating conjunction）“because”有關(guān)。
習(xí)慣上，由“because”引發(fā)的原因副詞分句（adverb clause of reason）要在主句之后出現(xiàn)，如上述第⑥句；又如：
⑧ The students carried out demonstrations because the government was corrupted.
但是用美式英語者偶爾倒過來寫：
“Because the government was corrupted， the students carried out demonstrations.”
一般上，這里的“because”可由“as， since， now that”取代，如下：
⑨ As the government was corrupted， the students carried out demonstrations.
⑩ Since Sam was the best candidate， he got the job.
（11） Now that the business has grown， we have the following career opportunities to offer to suitable applicants.
