这样的改正虽然符合语法,但句子显得头重脚轻,失去平衡;对是对,但是不好。我建议重整从句,以臻既对且好之境。试比较 7(a), (b)和(c):
⑦a. Malcolm left the office after he had finished the work which was well-planned.
b. Malcolm left the office after having finished the work which was well-planned.
c. Malcolm finished the well-planned work and then left the office.
三句中,⑦(c)一气呵成,短小精悍,是上选。此外,⑦(c)把形容词从句节缩为合成形容词(compound adjective),使句子简练有力。这点足以证明节缩句的好处。关于节缩方法,以后再谈。在了解节缩法之前,千万不要随便尝试,以免犯错。例如: *⑧ A sentence is made up of a subject and a predicate is called a simple sentence.
⑧里的is made up of a subject and a predicate是形容词从句which is made up of a subject and a predicate的节缩体,但是错了。
根据形容词从句的缩略规则,如果形容词从句是被动式的话,就要把关系代词和助动词be一齐去掉:
⑨ Do you like the man who was introduced to you yesterday? Do you like the man introduced to you yesterday?
⑩ Please fill in each of the blanks which are provided below. Please fill in each of the blanks provided below.
