将一只只油腻的碗碟,浸没在浮满泡沫的盆里,取一块厚纱布将其仔细地擦抹,待清凉的水流,拂过碗体,原来黏糊糊的手感即刻便被滑爽洁净所替代,挂着透明水珠的青花瓷碗,在旁边米黄的大理石桌面上摞得整齐,仿佛一件件珍贵的艺术品。
寒假里洗碗的活我全包了。
以前,别说洗碗了,吃饭时专门坐在桌子前,不拿筷子不端菜,吃完饭,拿腿就走。对于堆在厨房里的碗碟更是视而不见。一次在舅舅家聚餐,吃饭之后的问题便是谁洗碗。为了给妹妹做个表率,我就以黄继光堵枪眼的架势,把舅妈那还没有说出口的俩字堵了回去。
我洗!
快速的把桌子上的大大小小的餐具挪进了厨房,准备挽起袖子大干一场。可是理想是美好的,现实是残酷的。那被我挪得过高的山堆,轰然便倒,顿时红白相间的瓷片在大理石地砖上跳起了叮叮当当的舞,老妈闻声赶来,右手掐腰,左手扶额,一副“你是猪吗?”的表情。
后来,为了让自己爱劳动的美好情怀发扬光大,每天傍晚,一边洗碗一边与家人聊天,说说笑笑。有时候没有什么话题,家里安安静静的,这时我就手握住刚洗完的筷子,一副陶醉的表情唱:“小酒窝,长睫毛,是你最美的记号……”,一只手还在台面上翻飞着。曲毕,做出恍然醒悟状:“这不是写的我吗?鼓掌!”这时妈妈会送我一个逆天的白眼并两个字:脸呢?家里充满了欢乐。
抬头看看窗外,或许,每盏灯下都有相同的故事。在橙红色的灯光下,每只碗上都流动着橙红色的光晕。心中涌起一丝温馨和满足。望着灶台上的青色瓷碗,成就感油然而生。更重要的是,随着油污的清除,觉得心中也有一股清亮的水流,冲刷尘埃,带走世俗,带来洁净,我的心因此变得美好和清亮。
有人以做家务为苦烦,我却独以之为乐。我乐在亲自动手,打理生活,装扮生活,我何尝又不是在亲自装扮自己呢?
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。
