1。 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、亲耳所闻的经历。它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,使人到真实可信,如身临其境。如:
The other day, I was driving along the street。 Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast。 I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side。 But it was too late。 The car hit my bike and I fell off it。
用第三人称叙述,优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制,而是通过作者与读者之外的第三者,直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前,文章的客观性很强。如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard。 On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover。 Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short。 What could he do? Then he had a good idea。
2。 动词的时态
在记叙文中,记和叙都离不开动词。所以动词出现率最高,且富于变化。记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的',这是英语记叙文区别于汉语记叙文的关键之处。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,正是这一点才使得所记、所叙有鲜活的动态感、鲜明的层次感和立体感。
3。 叙述的顺序
记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。无论是顺叙、倒叙、插叙还是补叙,都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。顺叙最容易操作,较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,读起来平淡乏味。倒叙、插叙、补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果,让所叙之事跌宕起伏,使读者在阅读时思维产生较大的跳跃,从而为文章所吸引,深入其中。但这些方法如果使用不当,则容易弄巧成拙,使文章结构散乱,头绪不清,让读者不知所云。
4。 叙述的过渡
过渡在上下文中起着承上启下、融会贯通的作用。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things。 Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao。 It is really a beautiful city。 There are many places of interest to see。 But what impressed me most was the sunrise。
The next morning I got up early。 I was very happy because it was a fine day。 By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red。 In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing。 The sun was very red, not shining。 It rose slowly。 At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball。 At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright。
What a moving and unforgettable scene!
5。 叙述与对话
引用故事情节中主要人物的对话是记叙文提高表现力的一种好方法。适当地用直接引语代替间接的主观叙述,可以客观生动地反映人物的性格、品质和心理状态,使记叙生动、有趣,使文章内容更加充实、具体。试比较下面两段的叙述效果:
I was in the kitchen, and I was cooking something。 Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the front。 I thought maybe someone was knocking the door。 I asked who it was but I heard no reply。 After a while I saw my cat running across the parlor。 I realized it was the cat。 I felt released。
这本来应是一段故事性很强的文字,但经作者这么一写,就不那么吸引人了。原因是文中用的都是叙述模式,没有人物语言,把“悬念”给冲淡了。可作如下调整:
I was in the kitchen cooking something。 "Crash!" a loud noise came from the front。 Thinking someone was knocking at the door, I asked, "Who?" No reply。 After a while, I saw my cat running across the parlor。 "It's you。" I said, quite released。
Last Sunday, Jim went out to fly a kite. The kite flew highly in the sky. Jim ran with it happily.
Suddenly the line was broken and the kite flew away. Soon it disappeared. Where was it?
Jim had no idea. So he had to run here and there to look for the kite. At last he saw it on the top of the tree. He tried to get it down. But he couldn’t. He felt sad.
有那么一棵树,他自强不息;有那么一棵树,他坚忍不拔;有那么一棵树,他敬爱无声……
当阳光映绿新叶
一袭灰色的工作服,一顶迷彩帽,一双粗糙如树皮的大手,一辆掉漆了的三轮车,构成了一个平凡而朴实的他。
他是一个收垃圾的工人。
小区的人们见到他都会躲得远远的。每天放学,我都能在小区看见他的身影,他骑着那辆垃圾车穿梭在各个垃圾桶之间,夕阳的光晕投在他额前的汗水上,闪耀着自强不息的汗水,令我心生敬意。
当阳光映绿枝叶,那棵树自强不息。
当狂风摧残枝干
乌云把天空压得阴沉沉的,我正走在回家的路上,突然,一阵刺耳的谩骂声传进了我的耳朵。走进一瞧,一个女人正似圆规一般杵在那辆垃圾车前,一手掐腰,另一只手指着他的鼻子破口大骂。他把头埋得很深,脏兮兮的迷彩帽严严实实地遮住了他的脸,他的双手不安地来回搓着,似乎不知道该怎么办才好。从旁观人的嘴里我了解到,原来是他在往垃圾车里铲垃圾时,不慎将泥点溅到了那女人的裙子上,而我的目光扫遍了那件花花绿绿的裙子,也始终没有找到泥点在哪里。那女人声称要到物业去告他,并扬言要让他滚出小区。我心里一沉。
回去的路上,我的心里有种说不出的压抑,如同一块千斤重的巨石压在胸口一般沉闷。只是无心之失,却要如此斤斤计较,不给人留任何余地吗?我想起《平凡的世界》中有这么一句话:“生活中真正的勇士向来默默无闻,喧哗不止的永远是自视高贵的一群。”
当狂风摧折枝干,那棵树坚忍不拔。
当细雨滋润树根
从那之后,他只在晚上出来收垃圾。一天晚饭过后,我在小区散步。忽然,一辆掉了漆的垃圾车进入了我的视线。是他!我的心情竟明快起来。他正蹲在地上,将几个剩馒头掰成小块分给几只流浪猫。路灯将他的影子拖得很长,一个高大的灰色形象赫然呈现在我的眼前。那分明是一棵树啊!一颗饱经风霜却依然挺拔的树!他眉眼沟壑间的笑,深深地感染着我……
当细雨滋润树根,那棵树敬爱无声。
有那么一棵树,他选择了默默无闻,坚忍不拔,自强不息;有那么一棵树,他用沧桑刻画着生命的年轮;有那么一棵树,他用自己的光芒扎根在了我心底!
【点评】小标题式总是很吸引人,这三个小标题都是围绕树,而且含义隽永。一篇文章首先让阅卷老师刮目相看的是结构形式,然后是具体的内容。
本文的又一大亮点是选材。作者把目光聚焦在运垃圾的人身上,通过细致的描写突出了“默默无闻、坚韧不拔、自强不息”的中心,传递了正能量,对于初中生的作文来说,主题得到了升华。
语言优美,句式整齐,有节奏感,言简意赅,这是第三个亮点。
