各位学霸们好，欢迎来到雅培英语PTE讲堂。今天黄老师给大家来讲解一个PTE写作SWT常见的语法考点：从句叠加。

SWT常见问题

黄老师观察到，很多同学在做SWT题目的时候，会无脑套模板，比如用while或者and连接文章的两个句子。而盲目使用这样的方法再很多时候是会扣分的，其原因就是违背了从句叠加原则。

所谓从句叠加原则，说简单点就是避免叠加使用相同的从句。比如：

❌ I can’t go out because I have to do my homework because I didn’t do it last night because I was playing.

大家会发现，这句话显然是有问题的，因为出现了太多个because引导的原因状语从句了，那么，同样的原则我们是可以运用到SWT题目中的。

比如：

文章的句子A中出现了while/when：I am studying while he is working.

那么，这时如果我们再用while连接文章的句子B：Tom is sleeping. 就变成了：

❌ I am studying while he is working while Tom is sleeping.

同学们会发现，和上面的because句子出现了同样的问题：相同从句叠加。

而且，这里相同的从句不仅仅指代的是关系词相同，有些从句关系词不同但是表述的逻辑相同，叠加时也需要慎重，比如：while和when；which和that等。

所以，这就需要同学们在合并文章信息时，先确认原文句子中是否有出现我们需要使用的语法结构，如果出现则需要改变原文/我们的语法结构。而不是任何情况下都无脑套用一个模板。

改变原文/模板语法结构这部分虽然不难，但是知识点比较多。黄老师会在后面有机会详细展开论述。但是同学们请一定记住黄老师讲的：不要无脑套SWT模板，需要先检查语法结构叠加哦！

最后，黄老师给大家附上本周SWT高频题目两篇，大家可以套用上面的原则分析一下黄老师在答案中采取的语法结构哦：

本周高频题目参考答案

SWT#0013: American and Indian IT

Consider the current situation: like their counterparts in the United States, engineers, and technicians in India have the capacity to provide both computer programming and innovative new technologies. Indian programmers and high-tech engineers earn one-quarter of what their counterparts earn in the United States. Consequently, India is able to do both jobs at a lower dollar cost than the United States. India has an absolute advantage in both. In other words, it can produce a unit of programming for fewer dollars than the United States, and it can also produce a unit of technology innovation for fewer dollars. Does that mean that the United States will not lose not only programming jobs but innovative technology job, too? Does that mean that our standard of living will fall if the United States and India engage in the international trade? David Ricardo would have answered no to both questions- as we do today. While India may have an absolute advantage in both activities, that fact is irrelevant in determining what India or the United States will produce. India has a comparative advantage in doing programming in part because such activity requires little physical capital. The flip side is that the United States has a comparative advantage in technology innovation partly because it is relatively easy to obtain capital in this country to undertake such long-run projects.

参考答案：（文章信息需要进行句内组合后再句外连接，可以参照黄老师下文合并方法）

India is able to do both computer programming and innovative new technologies at a lower dollar cost than the United States because such activity requires little physical capital, but United States will not lose not only programming jobs but innovative technology job because it is relatively easy to obtain capital in this country to undertake such long-run projects.

秒懂逻辑：

印度在电脑与革新行业有优势是因为人工低廉，但是美国不会失去相关工作因为他们有资产累计。

SWT#035: Comparative Advantage

With an abundance of low-priced labor relative to the United States, it is no surprise that China, India and other developing countries specialize in the production of labor-intensive products. For similar reasons, the United States will specialize in the production of goods that arc human and physical capital intensive because of the relative abundance of a highly educated labor force and technically sophisticated equipment in the United States. This division of global production should yield higher global output of both types of goods than would be the case if each country attempted to produce both of these goods itself. For example, the United States would produce more expensive labor-intensive goods because of its more expensive labor and the developing countries would produce more expensive human and physical capital-intensive goods because of their relative scarcity of these inputs. This logic implies that the United States is unlikely to be a significant global competitor in the production green technologies that are not relatively intensive in human and physical capital. Nevertheless, during the early stages of the development of a new technology, the United States has a comparative advantage in the production of the products enabled by this innovation. However, once these technologies become well understood and production processes are designed that can make use of less skilled labor; production will migrate to countries with less expensive labor.

参考答案：

Developing countries should specialize in the production of labor-intensive products while the United States should produce physical capital-intensive products, and this division of global production should yield high global output of both types of goods although production will migrate to developing countries with well understood technologies.

秒懂逻辑：该题选点不难，但是合并文章复杂句较难，需要同学们注意删减。

发展中国家应该专注于劳动密集型产品，而美国应该专注于科技密集型产品，这样的全球分布可以达到一样更好的产量，但是随着科技的透明产品会逐渐迁移到发展中国家去。
