中學(xué)英語(yǔ)夏令營(yíng)知道學(xué)生寫作時(shí),多數(shù)都會(huì)選用一些普通的、直截了當(dāng)?shù)脑~,或者干脆一律使用簡(jiǎn)單句平鋪直敘,那么可想而知這樣寫出來(lái)的文章就會(huì)像一碗白開水,又呆板單調(diào)又沒有可讀性。那要使文章有深度,同學(xué)們就應(yīng)當(dāng)去嘗試使用一些高級(jí)詞匯或句型,只有這樣才可以凸顯文章的亮點(diǎn),還會(huì)使文章增添文采,同時(shí)又會(huì)給讀者,尤其是閱卷老師留下深刻印象哦。那具體說(shuō)來(lái),同學(xué)們可嘗試下哪些英語(yǔ)寫作技巧呢?
1. 靈活改變句子開頭
也就是在通常情況下,所有的英語(yǔ)句子的排列方式為“主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ)+賓語(yǔ)”,即主語(yǔ)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(yǔ)或以狀語(yǔ)開頭等,會(huì)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(yǔ)
為了使表達(dá)更生動(dòng),更富表現(xiàn)力,同學(xué)們?cè)趯懽鲿r(shí)應(yīng)盡量避免重復(fù)使用同一詞語(yǔ)來(lái)表示同一意思,尤其是一些老生常談的詞語(yǔ)。如有的同學(xué)一看到“喜歡”二字,就會(huì)立刻想起like,事實(shí)上,英語(yǔ)中表示類似意思的詞和短語(yǔ)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(jiǎn)潔,而且會(huì)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(lái)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(qǐng)這份工作的,但她沒有。
