◆高级定语从句:若定语从句中的动词带有介词,只需将介词移至先行词后。

I could find nothing but bad luck when I returned home learning that my handbag had been left on the counter.
◆what引导的名词性从句:将动宾结构转化为此结构。

◆“数词+名词”变为“as many as+数词+名词”。

◆适当加一些插入语:一些连词、副词可以放到句子中间充当语气较弱的插入语,如I guess、however、in a way、certainly、in my opinion、probably、briefly, generally speaking, believe it or not, besides, what’s more等,有时可以考虑几个插入语连用,就更像英美人士的文章了。
