簡化連接詞句子，讓文章再進化
當兩個句子的主詞相同時，帶有連接詞的句子可加以簡化，來看下面幾種不同的例子：
「主動」的動詞，用現在分詞 (V-ing) 來簡化。
例1
例1
■ When I opened the door, I saw a mouse running through the living room.
= Opening the door, I saw a mouse running through the living room.
= When opening the door, I saw a mouse running through the living room. （←when 也可保留）
當我打開門時，我看見一隻老鼠跑過客廳。
= When opening the door, I saw a mouse running through the living room. （←when 也可保留）
當我打開門時，我看見一隻老鼠跑過客廳。
例2
■ When I was a student, I often stayed up.
= Being a student, I often stayed up.
= When being a student, I often stayed up.（←when 也可保留）
當我還是學生時，我常熬夜。
「被動」的動詞，用「過去分詞」來簡化。
例
■ Because he was hit by a car, he stayed at the hospital for weeks.
= Hit by a car, he stayed at the hospital for weeks.（←句首的 hit 是過去分詞）
因為被車撞，所以他住院好幾個星期。
= Hit by a car, he stayed at the hospital for weeks.（←句首的 hit 是過去分詞）
因為被車撞，所以他住院好幾個星期。
完成式也可以簡化，不管是主動或被動，只要把 have / has / had 改成 having 即可。
Have / has / had + 過去分詞 → Having + 過去分詞
Have / has / had + 過去分詞 → Having + 過去分詞
例
■ Since Peter had watched this movie before, he felt bored to watch it again.
→Having watched this movie before, Peter felt bored to watch it again.
因為 Peter 之前已經看過這部電影，所以要他再看一次，他覺得相當無趣。
★注意：當句子因為簡化而使名字消失時，要把下一句中的代名詞改回人名。
→Having watched this movie before, Peter felt bored to watch it again.
因為 Peter 之前已經看過這部電影，所以要他再看一次，他覺得相當無趣。
