标题 | 增强英语语句的有效方法 |
内容 | 纵观多年来国家四、六级英语作文考试,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。因此在英语写作教学中,如何增强语句表现力的问题必须引起我们足够的重视,以提高学生写作的表达质量。为此,笔者结合自己的写作教学实践,针对该项技能的训练提出了一些切实可行的有效做法,供广大同仁和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 have 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 have 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 guesstimate our expenditures next fall. improved: i need her financial figures before i can estimate our expenditures next fall. |
