你會(huì)用 the fact 嗎

the fact 的本義是“事實(shí)”，如：

The fact is that he doesn’t really try. 事實(shí)是他沒有做真正的努力。

He felt it his duty to mention the fact to her. 他感到有責(zé)任向她提及此事。

If he had known the facts, he could have told us what to do. 如果他了解情況他就會(huì)告訴我們?cè)撛趺崔k了。

但the fact用于本義的用法，并不難理解，在考試中也很少直接考查；在寫作時(shí)直接用其本義也不算高明。但是，相比之下，the fact的以下三個(gè)輔助用法則顯得非常重要——正確理解其意思和熟練常握其用法不僅對(duì)于理解閱讀理解中的難句會(huì)有直接的幫助，而且還會(huì)有助于同學(xué)們?cè)跁�面表達(dá)中創(chuàng)造性地寫出一些讓你提高作文“檔次”的“高級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu)”。

一、用于避免句子結(jié)構(gòu)“頭輕腳重”

在許多情況下，當(dāng)語(yǔ)義上需要用一個(gè)較復(fù)雜的that從句用主語(yǔ)時(shí)，若直接將其置于句首位置，則會(huì)顯得“頭輕腳重”。這時(shí)，我們通常采用的辦法便是使用形式主語(yǔ)it來改變句子結(jié)構(gòu)。如：

That he had no girl friends worried his parents a lot.= It worried his parents a lot that he had no girl friends. 他沒有女朋友，這件事使他父母非常不安。

That he has fully recovered makes me feel good.=It makes me feel good that he has fully recovered. 他已痊愈，真令我高興。

That he had not said anything surprised everybody.=It surprised everybody that he had not said anything. 他一言不發(fā)，這使大家很吃驚。

用形式主語(yǔ)改變句子結(jié)構(gòu)是許多同學(xué)都可能想得到的方式，屬通常思維，乃常規(guī)表達(dá)。但如果借助the fact這一輔助手段，按以下方式改寫句子，則會(huì)給人以耳目一新的感覺，許多閱卷老師會(huì)將其劃入“高級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu)”的范疇。如：

The fact that he had no girl friends worried his parents a lot.

The fact that he has fully recovered makes me feel good.

The fact that he had not said anything surprised everybody.
