英語中含賓語從句的復(fù)合句可轉(zhuǎn)化為簡單句, 意思不變。 下面介紹幾種常見的簡化賓語從句的用法：

一． 改為不定式

1. 改為"V+不定式短語"。當(dāng)主語謂語動詞是hope, agree, choose, wish, decide, promise (許諾)等動詞時，且主句和從句的主語相同， 可進(jìn)行這種轉(zhuǎn)換。它們既可接賓語從句， 又可接動詞不定式短語。例如：

He hopes that he will be back very soon. → He hopes to be back very soon. 他希望能很快回來。

2． 改為"疑問詞 + 不定式"結(jié)構(gòu)。

當(dāng)主句謂語動詞是ask, tell, forget, remember 等動詞時， 賓語從句可轉(zhuǎn)化成"疑問詞 + 不定式"結(jié)構(gòu)。 例如：

Could you tell me how I can get to the station? → Could you tell me how to get to the station? 你能告訴我到車站怎么走嗎？

She has forgotten how she can open the door. → She has forgotten how to open the door. 他已經(jīng)忘記如何打開那扇門了。

3． 改為"it + 形容詞 + 不定式短語"。例如：

I found that it was difficult to learn English well. → I found it difficult to learn English well. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好英語是困難的。

二． 改為"賓語 + V-ing 形式（作賓補(bǔ)）"。例如：

The girl found that there was a watch lying on the ground. → The girl found a watch lying on the ground. 那姑娘發(fā)現(xiàn)地上有塊手表。

三. 改為名詞或名詞短語。 例如：

I'll take back what I said. → I'll take back my words. 我將收回我的話。

Could you tell us how we can get to the museum? → Could you tell us the way to the museum? 你能告訴我去博物館的路嗎？

The poor boy doesn't know when and where he was born. → The poor boy doesn't know the time and the place of his birth. 這個可憐的孩子不知道他出生于何時何地。

四． 改為V-ing 形式。例如：

I remember that I have told her the truth. → I remember telling her the truth. 我記得我把真相告訴了她。

I forget I have closed the window. → I forget closing the window. 我忘了我已經(jīng)關(guān)過窗戶了。

五． 改為過去分詞或過去分詞短語。例如：

Soon they found that the ground was covered with thick snow. → Soon they found the ground covered with thick snow. 他們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)地面被厚雪覆蓋了。

The teacher found that the boy was very interested in maths. → The teacher found the boy very interested in maths. 老師發(fā)現(xiàn)這孩子對數(shù)學(xué)很感興趣。
