He impressed the manager as an honest man. (right)

    He impressed the manager that he was an honest man. (wrong)

    7. 否定的转移

    若主句谓语动词为Think, consider, wuppose, believe, expect, fancy, guess, imagine等，其后的宾语从句若含有否定意义，一般要把否定词转移到主句谓语上，从句谓语用肯定式。例如：

    I don’t think this dress fits you well.（我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。）

三．表语从句

表语从句在复合句中作表语的名词性从句，放在系动词之后，一般结构是“主语＋连系动词＋表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外，常用的还有the reason is that… 和It is because 等结构。例如：

1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.

2) This is why we can’t get the support of the people

3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.

4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus.

四．同位语从句

同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。

1. 同位语从句的功能

    同位语从句对于名词进一步解释，说明名词的具体内容，一般由that引导，例如：

    1) The king’s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.

    2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.

    2. 同位语在句子中的位置

    同位语从句有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面，而是被别的词隔开。例如：

    He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off.

    3. 同位语从句与定语从句的区别

    (1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词，同时以在从句中作某个成分（主语或宾语），而同位语从句中的that是连词，只起连接主句与从句的作用，不充当句中任何成分。
