好的文章动静结合、张弛有度有节奏感。句式也是一样,要有变化性,这不仅能使文章更生动,也是语言表达方式的需要和表达能力的体现。句式的`变化,主要是要注意两点:
● 不要从头至尾使用一种句型。
● 长短句结合。
由于语言功底的欠缺和惯用思维,很多人写的文章一种句式到头,如:
I think …
I hope…
He does it.
He will take it
这样的文章虽然意思表达出来了,却显得呆板,欠生动。解决的办法是:
1.间或使用主从复句。
Because he is very much determined, he will carry it out this time. (原因
比较:He is very much determined. He will carry it out this time.
2.使用分词结构句。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went sightseeing.
比较:The weather is fine. A large number of people went sightseeing.
Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.
比较:Africa is the second largest continent. Its size is about three times that of China.
3.使用不定式句。
To be or not to be, that is a question. (莎士比亚
To study or not to study, that is much different.(引申
To do it well, you must plan it well.
比较:You want to do it well. And you must plan it well.
4.倒装句
Only when we fully recognize its importance can we have control of its essence.
比较:After we fully recognize its importance, we can have control of its essence.
No sooner had he arrived home than it began to rain.
比较:He arrived home. And it began to rain.
5.失衡句
whether or not he will come is still unknown to all the people present.
比较:No one present knows whether he will come or not.
That he has done it all by himself is known to everyone.
比较:Everyone knows that he has done it all by himself.
当然,句子并不是越长越好,也不是越复杂水平就越高。凡事皆有度。太多长句的堆砌让人觉得是买弄。有时侯,一个短小精辟的句子可以起到画龙点睛的作用。特别是在文末段尾。比如:
●As a creature, every one knows.
●Actions speak louder than words.
●Practice makes perfect.
表格说明。即在说明事物或知识时,把与之有关的数字列成表格,插于说明文字之中。表中所列项目,根据说明需要而定。这样说明,既清晰集中,又能进行比较,便于理解和记忆。例如《万紫千红的花》这篇说明文第七自然节,在说明花的颜色时,就列出了表格:
这个表格里的项目有花的颜色和种数两类,共有9种花色,从而形成比较,有力地说明了花色之中白色最多黑色最少的`特点,将被说明的对象介绍得一清 二楚。至于花的姿态,花的开放时间以及花呈不同色彩的原因,表中均末列项,这就既紧扣了课题万紫千红,又突出了说明的重点。
插图说明。有些事物须用图示才能说得清楚,如某种新产品的介绍,某种科学知识的解说,某种复杂的事物的说明等,就常常在文学中配上插图或示意 图,以助文字说明。例如《统筹方法》,在介绍统筹方法时,就先后列举了三个示意图,一是相互关系箭头图,二是工作合并图,三是数字表示任务图,分别如下:
这三幅示意图,形象地再现了统筹方法的主要内容,通过图示不难看出,关系清楚,顺序明了,谁优谁劣不言而喻,从而使这种复杂的科学方法简单化了,给人以鲜明直观的深刻印象,是语言文字所无法比拟的。
运用图表助示法说明事物,表格的项目不可设计过繁,将可比的几个事物或几种知识的主要比项列出即可。图表应放在文中与被说明文字密切相关之处。 图表虽是全文的有机组成部分,但不可过多运用,它只是为文字服务的,起助说作用,图表一多,令人眼花缭乱,容易给人以厌烦和累赘之感。
Directions:
Suppose you have found something wrong with the electronic dictionary that you bought from an online store the other day. Write an email to the customer service center to
1 make a complaint, and
2 demand a prompt solution.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I bought/ordered an electronic dictionary from your online shop on January 1st, but I found it has some problems after using it for a short period of time.
To begin with, the battery needs recharging after a mere 2 hours of use. This means that I need to carry my charger with me when I go out for a day. In addition, the buttons on the electronic dictionary are so small that it is nearly impossible to type anything with them. Personally, I found this to be completely unacceptable.
Therefore, I would like either to change for another model that works well or a full refund. I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
