这样就是以自己是一名清华、北大的学生而骄傲,以清华、北大为荣耀。
可世界第四富艾里森可不这么认为,他在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上说:“所有哈佛大学、耶鲁大学等名校的师生都自以为是成功者,其实你们全部是loser(失败者,因为你们以在有过比尔盖茨等优秀学生的大学念书为荣,但比尔盖茨却不以在哈佛大学读书为荣。”这话一说完,可想而知,同学和教师们都目瞪口呆,认为艾里森太狂。
我觉得艾里森说得也不是没有道理的,有一次我在网上与一个北大的学生聊天,从她的口气里就带着趾高气昂,自以为有一个名牌大学为自己撑腰,就已经很了不起了。
以一所大学为荣,何不让这所大学以自己为荣。艾里森还说:“众多最优秀的人才非但不以哈佛、耶鲁为荣,而且常常坚决地舍弃那种荣耀。世界第一富比尔盖茨,中途从哈佛退学;世界第二富保尔艾伦,根本就没上过大学;世界第四富,就是我艾里森,贝耶鲁大学开除;世界第八富戴尔,只读过一年大学;微软总裁斯蒂夫鲍尔默,在财富榜上大概排在十名开外,他与比尔盖茨是同学,为什么成就差一些呢?因为他是读了一年研究生后才恋恋不舍地退学的……”
有一位刚从外国毕业的'博士到一所学校当校长,开始还是得意洋洋的,可过了不到一个月,这新任的校长就垂头丧气地被开除了。这个博士也只不过是一个表面上的荣耀,因此给人产生一种虚荣心,是人被它冲昏头,神志不清,自以为很“伟大”,却是个loser!
这也总结出一个道理,什么都要真才实学,荣耀就是给这些成功者的。
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.
一个好的主题句是文章成功的一半。不仅文章有主题,段落有纲,句也必有中心。文章失却主题,就会不知所云;落无纲,则一盘散沙,句缺中心,就无意义。所以,在立足于篇章时,一定要首先明确文的主题;在发展段落时,也要首先写好主题句。从PETS三的特点来考虑,主题句最好是置于文首或段首,这样让人一目了然! 以下就是两个实用的开门见山式发展主题句的方法。
●To begin with, we must attach the greatest importance possible to this issue/fact (key word.
●As is well known to all, it is now high time that we took this (topic word into serious consideration.
