Most female consumers shop unwisely and spend too much money.
这里的shop and spend就是复合谓语结构,但是到目前为止,这仍旧是一个简单句,我们继续丰富它。
如果定语从句的时态与主句的时态具有同时性(包括谓语有情态动词或之后性,则可以用“关系代词或关系副词+不定式”来简化,或直接用“不定式”来修饰先行词。要注意的是,此时的不定式一定要是及物动词,如果是不及物,则需要在动词后面加上相应的介词,使之成为及物动词短语。这个结尾的介词可以提前到关系代词前面,也可以继续留在句尾。前者是正式说法,后者是非正式说法。
例1:We moved to the country so that the children would have a garden in which they could play in.
我们搬到了乡下,好让孩子们有个花园在里面玩。
改为:We moved to the country so that the children would have a garden in which to play.
或者:We moved to the country so that the children would have a garden to play in.
例2:He felt miserable unless he had neighbors (whomhe could quarrel with.
他要是没有可以吵架的邻居就难受。
改为:He felt miserable unless he had neighbors with whom to quarrel.
或者:He felt miserable unless he had neighbors to quarrel with.
例3: The conference which will be held this afternoon is bound to be a great success. 计划在今天下午举行的会议一定会取得成功。
改为:The conference which to be held this afternoon is bound to be a great success.
或者:The conference to be held this afternoon is bound to be a great success.
例4:At a ceremony in Honolulu on Dec. 29, Postmaster General John E. Potter gave a preview of the Lunar New Year Commemorative Stamps Souvenir Sheet, the grand finale of the Lunar Year stamp series, which will be available in 2005.

Most female consumers and their girlfriends shop unwisely and spend too much money.
这时主语和谓语都已经进行了改善。但是你问还有提升空间吗?当然有!
熊妈妈有两个儿子,哥哥叫大胖,弟弟叫二胖。哥俩胖墩墩,虎头虎脑的,熊妈妈很喜欢,就是他们都很懒,令熊妈妈头痛。
夏天到了,天气越来越热。二胖央求说:“妈妈,这么热的天,买个西瓜吃,那该多美呀。”大胖也帮腔说:“对!西瓜又甜又解渴,好妈妈,去给我们买一个吧。”熊妈妈说:“妈妈有事,要吃你们自己去买。”二胖既想吃又不想去买,忙说:“哥哥比我大,应该他去!”大胖说:“你比我跑得快,应该你去!”熊妈妈有点生气了:“别吵啦!你俩一起去买,谁偷懒,不许吃!”大胖、二胖只好拿上钱,一起买西瓜去了。
他俩走过森林,走过草地,走过小桥,来到了河滩边鹿阿姨的瓜园。大胖说:“鹿阿姨,给我们挑个最甜的!”二胖说:“鹿阿姨,给我们挑个最大的!”鹿阿姨用蹄子轻轻踢踢这个,嫌没熟;看看那个,嫌太小。最后说:“这个正好,准是个顶甜顶甜的大西瓜!”
大胖、二胖付了钱,大胖抱起西瓜往家走。没走几步,就把大西瓜往地上一放,说:“这西瓜太沉了,我抱累了。弟弟该你抱一会儿啦!”二胖不好意思不抱,皱着眉头,抱起西瓜往前走了几步,也把西瓜往地上一放,喘着粗气说:“这瓜这么重,我这么小,能抱几步?哥哥,还是你抱吧!”
两只小懒熊,你推我,我推你,谁也不愿抱。正在推托之间,大胖不小心碰了西瓜一下,西瓜咕噜噜滚了几圈。二胖猛拍脑袋说:“嘿,有了!西瓜会滚,咱们让它自个跑回家吧!”大胖一听,也高兴了,兄弟倆也不再吵了,争着滚大西瓜。二胖用力一推,大西瓜滚两滚;大胖踢一脚,大西瓜滚三滚。滚过河滩,滚过小桥,滚过草地,滚过森林,直滚到两只小懒熊的家门口。
熊妈妈看见了,抱起大西瓜,用水洗干净放到桌子上。两只小懒熊早就坐好,搓着两手,眼睛瞪得溜溜圆,心里想着大西瓜的味道,不觉流出了口水。妈妈伸手拍了拍,轻轻晃了晃头,一刀切下去,红红的瓜瓤全都变成了水,哗啦啦流了满桌子。
大胖、二胖你看我,我看你,皱起了眉头。
这么好的大西瓜没吃上,你说这事该怪谁呢?
看着又大又甜的西瓜变成了水,两只小懒熊一定后悔极了!这就是偷懒的结果!小朋友们记住这个西瓜变水的故事吧!
“形容词短语”省略的理由和方式,与“分词短语”作后置定语一样。当它们不是句中的重点信息,就可以去掉关系代词和be动词。形容词作后置定语同定语从句一样,可以分为“限制性”和“非限制性”。
例1:I bought this comic book hot off the press. 我买了这本刚刚出版的漫画书。
例2:She is a kind lady, ready to help others. 她是一个善良的女人, 总是帮助别人。
例3:Companies large and small the world over have been developing their own “corporate universities”. 全世界大大小小的公司都一直在办自己的“公司大学”。
