怎样使句子多样化。
以简单句为基础,配合适当的并列句和复杂句。简单句可长可短,通常要加些附属成分,如分词短语、介词短语、副词短语、不定式动词短语,以及节缩成分。
例如下列五个句子的基本概念一样,但是句式不同,内容重点也有些差别:
1) the goats grazed peacefully in the farm and were unaware of the approaching hunter. (并列分句(1)+2)
2) grazing peacefully, the goats in the farm were unaware of the approaching hunter. (现在分语短语+简单句)
3) in the farm, the goats grazed peacefully and were unaware of the approaching hunter. (副词短语+并列分句(1)-(2) )
4) there were goats grazing peacefully in the farm, unaware of the approaching hunter. (简单句+形容语短语)
5) as the goats grazed peacefully in the farm, they were unaware of the approaching hunter. (原因副词从句+主句)
1)和(5)的句式最常见;如果加上其他三种互相交替,句子不是更多样化吗?
看看这两个句子要如何多样化呢?
6) the young pilot was on his first overseas training.
7) he felt very uneasy.
a) the young pilot on his first overseas training felt very uneasy.
b) the young pilot felt very uneasy during his first overseas training.
c) the young pilot’s first overseas training made him feel very uneasy.
d) extreme uneasiness seized the young pilot on his first overseas training.
e) the young pilot was on his first overseas training, feeling very uneasy.
f) it being his first overseas training, the young pilot felt very uneasy.
g) being on his first overseas training, the young pilot felt very uneasy.
h) the young pilot was on his first overseas training and felt very uneasy.
i) the young pilot, who was on his first overseas training, felt very uneasy.
j) when the young pilot was on his/first overseas training, he felt very uneasy.
k) as the young pilot was on his first overseas training, he felt very uneasy.
l) the young pilot was on his first overseas training, so that he felt very uneasy.
在上述12个句子中,(a)-(g)是简单句;(h)是并列句;(i)-(l)是复杂句。简单句除(b)和(g)之外, 其他五样,用的人并不多。人们最喜欢采用复杂句,尤其是(j)和(k)这两款;接着便是并列句(h)。
如果大多数人的句子只限于(b),(g), h), j)和(k)这五种,而其他的则弃如敝屣,不是很可惜吗?
增强英语语句表现力的有效方法。
纵观多年的作文考试,考生作文成绩欠佳的主要原因除了准确性和连贯性差之外,语句软弱无力也是不容忽略的一个方面。因此在英语写作中,如何增强语句表现力的问题必须引起我们足够的重视,以提高写作的表达质量。如下是针对该项技能的训练的一些切实可行的有效做法,供广大英语学习者参考借鉴。
一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词。
1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如:
weak: the trees are bare. the grass is brown. the landscape seems drab.
revision: the brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语)
or: the landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语)
2、将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如:
1) weak: the team members are good players.
revision: the team members play well.
2) weak: one worker’s plan is the elimination of tardiness.
revision: one worker’s plan eliminates tardiness.
3、在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如:
1) weak: there is no opportunity for promotion.
revision: no opportunity for promotion exists.
2) weak: here are the books you ordered.
revision: the books you ordered h**e arrived.
二、多用语意具体的动词,保持句意简洁明了。例如:
1、poor: my supervisor went past my desk.
better: my supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.
2、poor: she is a careful shopper.
better: she compares prices and quality.
三、尽量运用主动语态。例如:
1、weak: the organization has been supported by charity.
better: charity has supported the organization.
2、weak: the biscuits were stacked on a plate.
better: mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语。例如:
1、wordy: my little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.
improved: my little sister prefers chocolate milk.
2、wordy: we are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your recommendations.
improved: we h**e received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation.
3、redundant: we had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
improved: we had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
4、redundant: my sister and i bought the same, identical dress in different stores.
improved: my sister and i bought the same dress in different stores.
五、杜绝滥用陈旧词语或难懂的专业术语。例如:
1、weak: they will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form.
improved: they will not agree to any of his proposals.
2、weak: i need her financial input before i can esstimate our expenditures next fall.
improved: i need her financial figures before i can estimate our expenditures next fall.
写好段落的三个标准。
首先,一个段落必须有一个中心即主题思想,该中心由主题句特别是其中的题旨来表达。整个段落必须紧扣这个主题(stick or hold to the topic),这就是段落的统一性(unity)。其次,一个段落必须有若干推展句,使主题思想得到充分展开,从而给读者一个完整的感觉,这就是完整性(completeness or adequateness)。
再者,一个段落不是杂乱无章的,而是有机的组合,句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑,从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth),这就是连贯性(coherence)。下面我们就对这三个标准分别加以说明。
