当然,首先摆在面前的问题是,什么是社会结构?“社会结构”曾经一度是社会学理论和分析的一个核心概念。我们也经常会说到社会结构这个词,甚至还抱怨过我们的社会结构不合理等,但在专业的社会学内,社会结构成为得以组织起来的“行动”和“结构”二元论的主要争端。牛津社会学简明词典里这样定义社会结构:一个被宽泛的用来代指某些社会行为循环发生模式;或者更具体地说,是指社会系统或者社会的不同元素之间的组织有序的相互关联。这个概念化的东西不太容易理解,所以我更愿意以实际例子来看待这个结构是如何运转的。
首先是制度结构,自人类诞生之日起,制度就随之产生。我们常说,无规矩不成方圆,正是因为有了制度,我们的社会机器才能有序的运转。而要讨论制度,就不能避免说到社会功能,我们的社会正是由担任不同社会功能的各个部分拼凑而成,社会制度在其中担当了连接线的角色。每一个社会成员都在整个社会发展过程中扮演者不同的角色,但毫无疑问,都在给社会的发展提供着动力。社会制度组成了一个社会的框架或骨架,这样的例子包括大范围的结构,诸如婚姻、男权政治、财产、合同、群体商讨、商品交换、官僚作风、主权以及选择性教育等等,另外还包括日常存在的微结构,诸如关注排队、交谈顺序、礼物赠予等等。这些大范围的和小范围的制度,集合在一起就形成一个概莫能外的制度结构,诸如封建主义、世袭主义、工业主义、资本主义等等。这些社会制度和制度的衍生物绝对不能被研究者物化。作为文化现象,他们是精神而非物质的存在。因此,制度模式是存在于个体的思想中,但是他们有一个虚拟的客观性,这就将他们置于特殊的个体之外。作为一个社会整体,就好像一个人体一样,制度结构出了问题,整个社会就必然会出现问题。而同样的,不可能会有完美的制度结构,我们所做的努力也只不过是希望现存的制度结构能够符合当今社会的现状,或者说,让制度更接近这个世界资源的分配方式。
刚刚说到大范围的社会结构,婚姻、亲属、男权与女权这些,单从制度上来讲是不够充分的,或者是从社会的主体来讲,这些应该被分在关系结构这一类,这些对人类的行动上规定了明显的.关系约束。社会关系在一个社会关系中一般是反复出现的,正是这种一般性,才给予无论在社会中什么地方出现的社会关系以一个普通的“结构形式”。社会关系的结构形式是导致“特定场合的变化”原因的“一般或规范的形式”。既然关系和规范之间的区别不是绝对的,因此这任然是基本的原则,社会关系只能依靠通过人们在他们的行动中应用的规范或规则而存在,但是,这些关系不仅仅是来自对规则的宣读。对结构的探究就必然涉及到结构层次的区别,关系结构和制度结构并不是整个社会结构的全部,虽然如此,但这两者涉及到的结构层次依然足够的复杂。由个体的人到其组成的家庭,再由家庭组成社区、城市,到最后的国家、民族,这其中都无可避免的被制度包围着。而我觉得用我们更容易理解的方式解读出来就是关系网,这张网覆盖了这个世界每一个有人类存在的地方。

1。 头绪分明,脉络清楚
写好记叙文,首先要头绪分明,脉络清楚,明确文章要求写什么。要对所写的事件或人物进行分析,弄清事件发生、发展一直到结束的整个过程,然后再收集选取素材。这些素材都应该跟上述五个“ W ”和一个“ H ”有关。尽管不是每篇记叙文里都必须包括这些“ W ”和“ H ”,但动笔之前,围绕五个“ W ”和“ H ”进行构思是必不可少的。
2。 突出中心,详略得当
在文章的框架确定后,对支持故事的素材的选取是很关键的。选材要注意取舍,应该从表现文章主题的需要出发,分清主次,定好详略。要突出重点,详写细述那些能表现文章主题的重要情节,略写粗述那么非关键的次要情节。面面俱到反而使情节罗列化,使人不得要领。这一点是写好记叙文要解决的一个基本问题,也需要一定的技巧。如:
One night a man came to our house and told me, "There is a family with eight children。 They have not eaten for days。" I took some food with me and went。
When I finally came to that family, I saw the faces of those little children disfigured (破坏外貌) by hunger。 There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger。
I gave the rice to the mother。 She divided the rice in two, and went out, carrying half the rice。 When she came back, I asked her, "Where did you go?" she gave me this simple answer, "To my neighbors — they are hungry also!"
3。 用活语言,准确生动
记叙文要用具体的事件和生动的语言对人、事、物加以叙述。一篇好的记叙文的语言既要准确、生动,又要表现力强,这样才能把人、事描写得具体生动,其可读性才强。试比较下面一篇例文修改的前后效果。
原文:
One day Xiaoqiang was wandering away。 He was soon lost among people and traffic。 He could not find the way back home and started crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by found him standing alone in front of a shop and crying。 They went up to Xiaoqiang and asked him what had happened。 Xiaoqiang told them how he got lost and where he lived。 The two students decided to take him home。 Mother was pleased to see Xiaoqiang come back safe and sound。 She invited the two students into the house and gave them some money, but they didn't take it。 She served them with tea but they left。
修改后:
The other day, five-year-old Xiaoqiang left home alone and wandered happily in the street。 After some time, he felt hungry so he wanted to go back home。 But he found he was lost among the crowded people and heavy traffic。 When he could not find the way home, he started and crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by from school found him sanding crying in front of a shop。 They immediately went up to him。
"Little boy, why are you standing here crying?" they asked。
"I want Mom, I go home。" said the boy, still crying。
"Don't worry, we'll send you home。"
And they spent the next two hours looking for the boy's house。 With the help of a policeman, they finally found it。
When the worried mother saw her son come back safe and sound, she was so thankful and she invited the students into her house。 Gratefully, she offered them some money, saying it was a way to express her thanks, but the young students firmly refused it and left without even a cup of tea。
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼误吞下了一块骨头,十分难受,四处奔走,寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶,谈定酬金请他 取出骨头,鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里,叼出了骨头,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?”
这故事说明,对坏人行善的报酬,就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。
