把英語句子寫活的10種方法

　　學(xué)生寫作時(shí)，如果僅局限在把內(nèi)容交代清楚的水準(zhǔn)上，只選用一些普通的、直截了當(dāng)?shù)脑~，或一律使用簡單句平鋪直敘，那么，這樣寫出來的文章就會像一碗白開水，呆板、單調(diào)，沒有可讀性。要使文章耐人尋味，有深度，同學(xué)們就應(yīng)嘗試使用一些高級詞匯或句型，以凸顯文章的亮點(diǎn)，使文章增添文采，給讀者(尤其是閱卷老師留下深刻印象)。具體說來，同學(xué)們可嘗試以下方法：

　　1. 靈活改變句子開頭

　　在通常情況下，英語句子的排列方式為“主語+謂語+賓語”，即主語位于句子開頭。但若根據(jù)情況適當(dāng)改變句子的開頭方式，比如使用倒?fàn)钫Z或以狀語開頭等，會使文章增強(qiáng)表現(xiàn)力。如：

　　(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

　　→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

　　在小山頂上有一座古廟。

　　(2) You can do it well only in this way.

　　→ Only in this way can you do it well.

　　只有這樣你才能把它做好。

　　(3) A young woman sat by the window.

　　→ By the window sat a young woman.

　　窗戶邊坐著一個(gè)年輕婦女。

　　2. 避免重復(fù)使用同一詞語

　　為了使表達(dá)更生動，更富表現(xiàn)力，同學(xué)們在寫作時(shí)應(yīng)盡量避免重復(fù)使用同一詞語來表示同一意思，尤其是一些老生常談的詞語。如有的同學(xué)一看到“喜歡”二字，就會立刻想起like，事實(shí)上，英語中表示類似意思的詞和短語很多，如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。如：

　　I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

　　→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

　　我喜歡看書，而我的兄弟卻喜歡看電視。

　　3. 合理使用省略句

　　合理恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂檬÷跃?，不僅可以使文章精練、簡潔，而且會使文章更具文采和可讀性。如：

　　(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

　　→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

　　他可能很忙，要是這樣，我以后再來拜訪。要是不忙，我現(xiàn)在可以見他嗎?

　　(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

　　→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

　　如果天氣好，我們就去;如果天氣不好，我們就不去了。

　　(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

　　→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

　　她本可申請這份工作的，但她沒有。

　　4. 適當(dāng)運(yùn)用非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)

　　非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)通常被認(rèn)為是一種高級結(jié)構(gòu)，適當(dāng)運(yùn)用非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)，會給人一種熟練駕馭語言的印象。如：

　　(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

　　→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

　　聽了這消息他們都高興得跳了起來。

　　(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

　　→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

　　由于不知道她的地址，我沒法和她聯(lián)系。

　　(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

　　→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

　　他出生農(nóng)民家庭，只上過兩年學(xué)。

　　5. 結(jié)合使用長句與短句

　　在英語寫作中，過多地使用長句或過多地使用短句都不好。正確的做法是，根據(jù)實(shí)際情況在文章中交替使用長句與短語，使文章顯得錯落有致，這樣不僅使文章在形式上增加美感，而且使文章讀起來鏗鏘有力。如：

　　At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

　　→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

　　中午我們曬著太陽吃野餐。休息一會兒后，我們唱的唱歌，跳的跳舞，還有的講笑話、下棋，大家玩得很開心。

　　6. 適當(dāng)使用短語代替單詞。

　　(1) He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.

　　→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.

　　他已決定長大了當(dāng)老師。

　　(2) He doesn't like music.

　　→ He doesn't care much for music.

　　他不大喜歡音樂。

　　(3) He told me that the question was now under discussion.

　　→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.

　　他告訴我問題現(xiàn)正正在討論中。

　　7. 恰當(dāng)套用某些固定表達(dá)。

　　(1) He was very tired. He couldn’t walk any farther.

　　→ He was too tired to walk any farther.

　　他太累了，不能再往前走了。

　　(2) The film was very interesting. Both the teachers and the students liked it.

　　→ The film was so interesting that both the teachers and the students liked it.
