nor,both... and等连词把两个意义相关的简单句合并成一个简单句。解题过程中
要注意连词的选用和主谓一致原则。除此之外，还可用too... to, enough to等把
两个简单句合并成另一简单句。如：Tom is young. He can't go to school.→

五、用派生词或多义词改写。

简析：复合句转换为简单句一般侧重于将从句变化为短语或词组，使其句意简
单明了。常见的转换方法有：(1)用不定式替换、用介词短语替换、用名词短语替
换、用分词短语替换；(2)将宾语从句简化为"疑问词＋不定式"；(3)将so...
that... (such... that... )引导的状语从句简化为含有too... to... (或
enough to)的简单句；(4)将if引导的状语从句简化为"祈使句，and(or)＋句
子"。
八、综合转换。
