三、詞語(yǔ)的使用
選 詞
多用近義詞
make manufacture
buy purchase
finish accomplish
end terminate
use utilize
love affection
agree accord
discussion controversy
tell inform
enough sufficient
speed velocity
car vehicle
open unclose
choice alternative
She is not a friend but a nodding acquaintance.
區(qū)分具體與抽象的詞
詞從語(yǔ)義上可分為具體與抽象兩種類(lèi)別,例如:
抽象 具體
good kind, honest, generous, warm-hearted, selfless, friendly
laugh smile, chuckle, snigger
scientist physicist, biologist, chemist
fish shark, salmon, perch, eel
tree shrub, bush, pollard, oak, plane, pine, willow
抽象詞意范圍大,概括力強(qiáng),但給人以空洞的感覺(jué),適合于文章的開(kāi)頭和結(jié)尾等總結(jié)性部分。具體詞意義有針對(duì)性、個(gè)性和精確性,給人以確切的概念,適合用于段落中細(xì)節(jié)的刻畫(huà),論點(diǎn)的闡述以及事物的描寫(xiě)。如果用抽象的詞來(lái)表達(dá)具體的事物,便會(huì)給人籠統(tǒng)的感覺(jué):
a. 抽象: The man is good.
具體: The man is selfless.
b. 抽象: There are three men in the room.
具體: There are three little boys in the room.
善于使用代詞
A scientist draws conclusions by studying the facts he collects.
Such symbols as are used to represent chemical elements should be firmly kept in mind.
四、句式變換
在了解組織句子的四個(gè)特點(diǎn)之后,我們重點(diǎn)看一下句子組織形式的多樣化,即在120-150詞內(nèi),盡量使用不同的句子形式,常用的句型如下:
主語(yǔ)從句
定語(yǔ)從句 (限定性和非限定性)
狀語(yǔ)從句 (時(shí)間,原因,地點(diǎn),條件,讓步等)
分詞短語(yǔ)做定語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)
強(qiáng)調(diào)句
倒裝句
省略句
What句型
設(shè)問(wèn)句
主語(yǔ)和主語(yǔ)從句
名詞、代詞、動(dòng)名詞、不定式以及名詞性從句都可以作主語(yǔ)。后三種,學(xué)生在寫(xiě)作時(shí)用起來(lái)不是很熟練,但卻很有價(jià)值,可以在很大程度上提高語(yǔ)言質(zhì)量。下面我們看幾組例句:
動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)
Listening to some light music will help you calm down.
Talking to a person like him is just like talking to a deaf.
不定式作主語(yǔ)
To see is to believe.
To help others is to help yourself in a sense.
To see things as they are, to go right to the right point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant is after all, what a university training should be aiming at.
主語(yǔ)從句
主語(yǔ)從句一般由what, who, which, why, how, when, which, whether…or…等引導(dǎo),這些名詞性從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí),我們稱(chēng)之為主語(yǔ)從句。
Why he would reject such a good offer remained unknown all these years.
Whether we can succeed or not depends upon our efforts.
What you have done for us will be in our memory for ever.
當(dāng)句子的實(shí)際主語(yǔ)太長(zhǎng)時(shí),英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用先行代詞it作形式主語(yǔ),然后再引出真正的主語(yǔ)
It is common knowledge that honesty is the best policy.
And with our current methods, it is hard to estimate the loss in environmental terms as many negative results may take decades to emerge.
其他常用先行代詞it作形式主語(yǔ)的句型還有;
It is self-evident that… 很明顯的是
It goes without saying that… 不用說(shuō)
It is asserted that... 有人主張……
It is believed that... 據(jù)信……
It is generally considered that... 人們普遍認(rèn)為……
It is hoped that... 人們希望……
It is reported that... 據(jù)報(bào)道……
It is said that... 據(jù)說(shuō)……
It is supposed that... 據(jù)推測(cè)...
It is well-known that... 眾所周知……
It must be admitted that... 必須承認(rèn)……
It cannot be denied that… 不可否認(rèn)……
It must be pointed out that... 需指出的是……
It was told that... 據(jù)傳……
It will be said that... 有人會(huì)說(shuō)……
It follows that… 由此可見(jiàn)
It is inappropriate that… ……是不合適的
賓語(yǔ)從句
賓語(yǔ)從句是置于謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之后的名詞性從句。大家來(lái)看下面幾個(gè)例子:
1、They believe that the central government’s decision to develop the western part of the country and the success of Beijing’s bid to host the 2008 Olympics will open up further opportunities for a boom in the regional aviation market.
2、We cannot understand why they are so cruel to their beloved parents.
3、Experience from foreign countries suggests that no aircraft manufacturers can survive depending only on their domestic market.
寫(xiě)作中常用的跟賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞以主語(yǔ)是We舉例如下:
We assume that… 我們?cè)O(shè)想、假設(shè)……
We suggest that… 我們認(rèn)為、建議……
We hold/maintain/ that… 我們認(rèn)為……
We stress that… 我們強(qiáng)調(diào)……
We admit that… 我們承認(rèn)……
We deny that… 我們否認(rèn)……
We hope that… 我們希望……
We discover that… 我們發(fā)現(xiàn)……
We recommend that… 我們推薦、建議……
We mention that… 我們提到……
表語(yǔ)從句
表語(yǔ)從句是主語(yǔ)+系動(dòng)詞+從句所構(gòu)成的語(yǔ)句,其中系動(dòng)詞包括三類(lèi):
n be的其各種形式;
n 表示變化的詞如go, become, turn;
n 表示感覺(jué)的詞,常有“……起來(lái)”的含義如feel, smell, taste, look, sound等。
大家看下面的例句:
That is why so many people want to work in the government.
This is where she lived when she was young.
Quality is what counts most.
The problem is not who will go, but who will stay.
The assumption is that things will improve.
That is how we beat them in the contest.
What he wants to know is if you may agree.
What we want to know is whether the government may take measures to tackle this problem.
The question is which one you may choose.
倒裝句式
倒裝句式是指主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的位置顛倒,又分為部分倒裝和全部倒裝。
部分倒裝是指謂語(yǔ)中的一部分,如助動(dòng)詞do, does, did, can, may, should, ought to, must, have, 系動(dòng)詞be等放在主語(yǔ)前面,其余部分包括謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍在主語(yǔ)后面。
部分倒裝的情況:
l 虛擬語(yǔ)氣的條件句,省略if,同時(shí)將had, were, should提到主語(yǔ)之前
Were it not for your help, we couldn’t have arrived there.
l so/such...that用于句首時(shí),后面要倒裝
So little did he know about the subject that he had to stay up preparing for the exam.
l as, though, no matter how (what), however引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)時(shí),從句需倒裝
Young as he is, he has accomplished a lot.
However cold it is, he will go swimming in the lake.
l 用于so, neither, nor后面
He didn’t go to the concert, neither did his family.
