恶妇杀夫,竟将尸体藏匿于冰箱之中,5年之后,其劣迹方才败露！消息首句系十足的主题句(topic sentence)。此句值得学习的是其定语从句,whohad been missing for five years,它被置于状语从句的主语和谓语之间。这种“插入”形式,为初学者所不能。初学者往往将该句写成:...after the body of herhusband was found in a discarded freezer who have been missing for five years.须知:定语从句应紧挨其修饰的成以免引起误解。这在语言学上称就近原则(vicinity principle) The wife killed her and hid the body in the refrigerator. Five years later, the bad news was revealed! The first sentence of the message is a full topic sentence. This sentence is worth learning is its attributive clause, whohad been missing for five years, it is placed between the subject of the adverbial clause and the predicate. This “insertion” form cannot be used by beginners. Beginners often write the sentence:...after the body of herhusband was found in a discarded freezer who have been missing for five years. Notice: The attributive clause should be closely modified to avoid misunderstanding. This is linguistically called the vicinity principle.
