常用的中間段展開(kāi)方法歸納如下:
l 列舉法
例:
Eating wild animals gives rise to a lot of negative effects. In the first place, as many wild animals carry parasites, when we eat them, the parasites enter our bodies, thus causing a lot of illnesses. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a case in point. It was reported that the virus derived from a “delicious” animal and the disease has claimed thousands of lives throughout the world and brought great damages to people’s properties. In the second place, since animals are an indispensable part of our environment, the extinction of some animals may disturb the natural balance. Last but not the least important, eating wild animals is cruel. After all, wild animals are our close friends.

l 比較對(duì)比法
例:
People who believe in the beneficial side may have some arguments as follows. To begin with, farmers can earn more money by working in the cities. Most of them will send part of their income back home to help their families. What’s more, these farmers will help develop the cities in many ways. According to a recent survey, most of the construction projects in big cities are actually done by farmers.
By contrast, some people argue that farmer migration may give rise to a series of negative effects. They worry that much land will be deserted in the country. In addition, it is also believed that rising crimes in cities are partly related to this migration.
分析:文章利用By contrast對(duì)農(nóng)民工遷移到城市這一現(xiàn)象所帶來(lái)益處與弊端進(jìn)行了對(duì)比分析。
l 因果法
例:
The hamburger is the most popular food item in the United States. Every year Americans consume billions of them. They are sold in expensive restaurants and in humble diners. They are cooked at home on the kitchen stove or over a barbecue grill in the backyard. Why are they so popular?
First, a hamburger is extremely easy to prepare. It is nothing more than a piece of ground beef, cooked for a few minutes. Then it is placed in a sliced bun. Nothing could be simpler. Even an unskilled cook can turn out hundreds of them in an hour. Besides that, the simple hamburger can be varied in many ways. You can melt some cheese on top of the beef to create a cheeseburger. You can also add some grilled bacon for an interesting flavor contrast. In addition, you can garnish the hamburger with other things such as lettuce, tomato, onion, mushrooms, avocado, pickles, hot pepper, ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, mustard or whatever you wish!
分析:文章先在第一段的結(jié)尾用一問(wèn)句提出漢堡為什么這么受歡迎,緊接著下一段以原因列舉展開(kāi)。
l 例證法
例:
Take my neighbor as an example. There are three members in their family and the two adults were laid off last year. The only child will have to drop out of school next semester. In order to help them, I donated all my money—300 yuan to pay the tuition. And I plan to call on others to donate more money. Though I cannot do a lot, I have given love which is like a lamp in a dark place where light is most needed.
分析:文中以我?guī)椭徏液⒆拥氖虑闉槔f(shuō)明了展示愛(ài)的方式,并在段落結(jié)束時(shí)重申了論點(diǎn)。
l 發(fā)展過(guò)程法
例:
To build your own sunscope, get a carton and cut a hole in one side, big enough to poke your head through. Paste white paper on the inside surface that you will be facing. Then punch a pinhole into the opposite side high enough so that the little shaft of light will miss your head. For a sharper image you can make a better pinhole by cutting a one-inch square hole in the carton, taping a piece of aluminum foil over this hole, and then making the pin-hole in the foil. Finally, tape the box shut and cover all light leaks with black tape.
分析:文章利用Then, and then, finally層層展開(kāi),說(shuō)明了制作sunscope的方法。
l 定義法
例:
Diligence is the key to success. It means persistent work and does not mean that we are to exert ourselves all day and night without rest, without food and without sleep. The true meaning of diligence is the careful use of time for the purpose of improvement, or to work persistently without any waste of time.
分析:本段用means對(duì)Diligence進(jìn)行了定義說(shuō)明,使之更具體,更容易被理解。
l 分類法
例:
Nowadays the news media mainly consists of radio, television and newspapers. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Newspapers are the oldest form for communicating the news. Today many people still begin their day by reading the morning paper while having breakfast, and end their day by reading the evening paper while having dinner.
The invention of the radio has had a tremendous influence on the world. It is able to bring up-to-minute news to distant places in a matter of seconds. Thus the development of the radio has made the world a smaller place.
Television is the most recently developed device for communication. It allows us to see as well as to hear the news. The fact that it enables people to see visual images has had a considerable effect on our perceptions of world event.
分析:文章對(duì)報(bào)紙、收音機(jī)和電視三類新聞媒介分開(kāi)進(jìn)行說(shuō)明,指出了每種的特點(diǎn),使讀者一目了然。
