英语写作部分

之一:英语写作的过渡手段归纳

众所周知,要写出清晰流畅的文章,需要把段落中各部分巧妙地连接在一起。这样可使文章自然而别致,并能层层展开主题句,完整地表达中心思想。

  起连贯作用的过渡词语可以用来连接段落中的各个句子,也可以用来连接文章中的各个段落。下面是在段落中连接句子的例子(段中黑体字为过渡词)

  To many foreigners, the American word family is confusing. Foreigners often hear an American say "My family is coming to visit." In this sentence, family means grandparents and perhaps other relatives. However, at other times, the same American might say, "I'm going to stay home with my family this weekend." In this case, he is talking about his wife and children. This is a much narrower meaning than the first one. Using family in this way makes a foreigner wonder which term really describes an American family. The answer, of course, is that there are two meanings for the word family in the United States -- a narrow one and a broad one. And there is another term ---- immediate family ----- to describe something in between.

  这一段中出现的过渡手法有两种:一种是过渡词或词组,如however, in this case, of course; 另一种是起过渡作用的代词,如this, one.

  段与段之间也可以用过渡词连接,比如but可以连接两个为转折关系的段落.

  2. 过渡词语的分类 常用的过渡词根据意思和作用的不同,可以分为以下十一类:

   1) 用以解释的过渡词,比如:now, in addition, for, in this case, furthermore, in fact

    1. The problem, in this case, is hard to solve.

    2. Furthermore, several people telephoned the same night.

   2) 表示强调的过渡词,如:certainly, indeed, above all, surely, most important

    1. Indeed, a dessert is always enjoyable.

    2. Above all, do not build an open fire in a forest.

   3) 表示限制的过渡词but, however, although, though, yet, except for

    1. Yet there was still a chance that he would win.

    2. Except for one girl, all the hikers returned.

4) 用以举例的过渡词for example, for instance, thus, such, next

  1. For instance, a telegram often costs more than a telephone call.

  2. Thus the trip finally began.

 5) 表示递进或补充的过渡词in addition,furthermore,also,moreover,yet

  1. In addition, the tour stops in Vancouver.

  2. Furthermore, the time for registration has been extended.

 6) 表达顺序的过渡词first, second, third, afterward(s)(后来), meanwhile(几乎同时),

    thereafter(在那以后), last, finally, eventually(终于)

  1. First, you mail in an application. Second, you ask for an appointment. Third, you send

    them three personal references.

  2. Then you come to a traffic light and turn right.

 7) 用以表示比较的过渡词like, in the same way, similarly, equally important, too

  1. In the same way, we look for a good doctor.

  2. Similarly, the Thais enjoy spicy foods.

 8) 用以表示对比的过渡词unlike, in contrast, whereas, on the other hand, instead

  1. In contrast, the red fluid does not lose its color.

  2. The husband wanted a boy, whereas the wife wanted a girl.

 9) 表示让步的过渡词although, nevertheless, of curse, after all, clearly, still, yet

  1. He planned, nevertheless, to ask for a promotion.

  2. After all, you learn to cook many foods in this job.

 10) 用以表述结果的过渡词therefore, as a result, consequently,

   then,thereby,therefore,thus,hence,accordingly, so, otherwise

  1. As a result, she became the prince's bride.

  2. Consequently, we opened an account at the bank.

 11) 用以表示总结的过渡词to sum up, finally, in conclusion, at last, in short,in a word,in

    the long run,in summary

  1. To sum up, Christmas is the most important holiday.

  2. In conclusion, a consulate offers more services.

上文已经讲过,除了过渡词或词组之外,起过渡作用的还有代词、同义词、连接词和词的重复等。下面分别举例说明。

   1. 起过渡作用的代词

  例:He asked what that meant.

     We watched the hikers. They climbed slowly.

  以上两句中的深蓝体字分别起句内和句间的过渡作用。

  起过渡作用的代词在下面例子中的作用很大,没有它,这段文字就不能成立。

  It is the most talked-of subject in town. Every family in the community discusses It half a dozen times a day. You mentioned It to at least one of your friends before you came into the room today. You think about It at least once during every class. Its passage is steady. It touched everyone. What isIt? It is Time.

   2. 起过渡作用的同义词

  同义词用得好,不仅有助于文章的连贯,也增加了文采。例如下文:

  Community colleges are like the two-year colleges called junior colleges, or "j.c.'s". Both schools prepare students for four-year colleges. J.c.'s offer all the courses most four-year colleges ask their freshmen and sophomores to take. Community colleges also give such required courses. But community colleges are also like other institutions called trade schools. Both schools offer technical training. Trade schools give courses in such areas as carpentry, nursing, television repairing, or photography. Community colleges have complete technical courses for students who do not plan to go on to a university.

3. 重复词起过渡作用

  词的重复是常用的连接手法,它可强调你所要表达的意思。按方式,还可进一步分为绝对重复和相对重复。

  Gulls, as they soar, are not always searching for food but merely having fun on the wing. A gull flying along the shore is taking advantages of wind current formed when the sea air strikes the warm land and rises. Gulls also love the lower, weaker air currents that form about three feet above the waves. They ride them for hours, tipping from one current to the next. Most people think that gulls ride behind boats for the food. But garbage is only a small part of what they eat. Clams and fish make up most of their diet. The sea gulls follow boats for the tide on the thermal currents the ships create at sea.

  上面文章中的黑体字就是通过重复来起承上启下的作用,与同义词类似。

4. 平行结构起承上启下的作用

  My mother has passed along to me certain rules for getting along with others. Don't argue with parents; they will think you don't love them. Don't argue with children; they will think themselves victimized. Don't argue with spouses; they will think you are a tiresome mate. Don't argue with strangers; they will think you are not friendly. My mother's rules, in fact, can be summed up in two words. Don't argue.

  文中的don't argue反复出现,形成平行结构,有助于段落的流畅和连贯。

之五:英语写作11类常见错误分析

一. 不一致(Disagreements)

所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致 时态不一致及代词不一 致等.

例1. When one have money ,he can do what he want to .

(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么.)

剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has ;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致.

改为: Once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do)

二. 修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)

英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化.对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解.例1. I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.

剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末.

三. 句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)

在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解.可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生.

例1. There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .

剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句.

改为:There are many ways to know society ,for example ,by TV ,radio ,and newspaper.

四. 悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)

所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清.例如:At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中"at the age of ten"只点出十岁时,但没有说明” 谁”十岁时.按一般推理不可能是my grandfather, 如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了.

改为:

When I was ten, my grandfather died.

例1. To do well in college, good grades are essential.

剖析:句中不定式短语 “to do well in college” 的逻辑主语不清楚.

改为:

To do well in college, a student needs good grades.

五. 词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)

“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等.

例1. None can negative the importance of money.

剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。

改为:

None can deny the importance of money.

六. 指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)

指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.

(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)

读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.

例1. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.

剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。改为:

We can also know society by serving it ourselves.

七. 不间断句子(Run-on Sentences)

什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。

例1. There are many ways we get to know the outside world.

剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“There are many ways.” 以及“We get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。

改为:

There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或:

There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside

world

八. 措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)

Diction 是指在特定的句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。

例1. The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.

(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。)

剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)” 应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。

改为:

The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.

九. 累赘(Redundancy)

言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。如:

In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.

本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of his laziness, I like him.

例1. For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.

剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。

改为:

Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need.

十. 不连贯(Incoherence)

不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是考生常犯的毛病。

例1. The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.

剖析:The fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连贯。It 与things 在数方面不一致。

改为:

Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.

十一. 综合性语言错误(Comprehensive Misusage)

所谓“综合性语言错误”,是指除了上述十种错误以外,还有诸如时态,语态,标点符号,大小写等方面的错误。

例1.Today, Money to everybody is very importance, our’s eat, cloth, live, go etc.
