縱觀多年來(lái)國(guó)家四、六級(jí)英語(yǔ)作文考試,考生作文成績(jī)欠佳的主要原因除了準(zhǔn)確性和連貫性差之外,語(yǔ)句軟弱無(wú)力也是不容忽略的一個(gè)方面。因此在英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作教學(xué)中,如何增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)句表現(xiàn)力的問(wèn)題必須引起我們足夠的重視,以提高學(xué)生寫(xiě)作的表達(dá)質(zhì)量。為此,筆者結(jié)合自己的寫(xiě)作教學(xué)實(shí)踐,針對(duì)該項(xiàng)技能的訓(xùn)練提出了一些切實(shí)可行的有效做法,供廣大同仁和英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者參考借鑒。
一、避免使用語(yǔ)意弱的“be”動(dòng)詞。
1、把句中的表語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)換為不同的修飾語(yǔ)。例如:
Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (轉(zhuǎn)換為前置定語(yǔ))
Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (轉(zhuǎn)換為并列結(jié)構(gòu)作后置定語(yǔ))
2、將作表語(yǔ)用的形容詞或名詞變?yōu)樾袨閯?dòng)詞。例如:
1) Weak: The team members are good players.
Revision: The team members play well.
2) Weak: One worker’s plan is the elimination of tardiness.
Revision: One worker’s plan eliminates tardiness.
3、在以“here”或“there”開(kāi)頭的句子中,把“be”動(dòng)詞后的名詞代詞變成改寫(xiě)句的主語(yǔ)。例如:
1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion.
Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists.
2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered.
Revision: The books you ordered have arrived.
二、多用語(yǔ)意具體的動(dòng)詞,保持句意簡(jiǎn)潔明了。例如:
1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk.
Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.
2、Poor: She is a careful shopper.
Better: She compares prices and quality.
三、盡量運(yùn)用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。例如:
1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity.
Better: Charity has supported the organization.
2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate.
Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
