應(yīng)試必備: 英語四級(jí)級(jí)作文點(diǎn)睛
改詞擴(kuò)句
不改變?cè)涞囊馑迹瑑H通過詞匯、語法手段使句子看起來更高級(jí)、地道。下面請(qǐng)看例子:
例1
Others think that the utilization of waste products will be eliminated sooner or later with the emergence of hi-te . However, I did not consider that factor carefully. Because I hold the view that waste materials can be made good use of to help reduce the living cost.
原句:I did not consider that factor carefully.
改句:I fail to take that factor into careful consideration.
【解析】
在這個(gè)簡單句中,主要做了兩個(gè)改變,一是把did not改成fail to, 同樣的意思,可是詞匯應(yīng)用的靈活度卻大大提高。
二是把considercarefully改成了take sth into careful consideration,在考場作文中,詞組的運(yùn)用是個(gè)亮點(diǎn),而且英語中靜態(tài)居多(名詞用的多),漢語中動(dòng)態(tài)居多(動(dòng)詞用的多),在此把動(dòng)詞consider變成名詞consideration,頓時(shí)使英文更加地道。
例2
原句:
You are enthusiastic and enterprising. And you are one of the most talented and diligent in our department. You have already won 2 awards for good academic results.
改句:
You, enthusiastic and enterprising,are one of the most talented and diligent in our department,already winning 2 awards for outstanding academic results.
【解析】
我們可以看到例句中有3個(gè)簡單句,咋看上去給人一種啰嗦、累贅的感覺。但細(xì)看之下,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)3個(gè)句子的主語全部是you,因此我們就該聯(lián)想到同位語、插入語的應(yīng)用。從改句中,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)謂語從原來的3個(gè)變成了1個(gè),頓時(shí)使句子顯得高級(jí),精簡很多。其次,還有一個(gè)改動(dòng)之處為good,這個(gè)詞是常用詞,口語中用的更頻繁些,我們可以想一些同義詞例如excellent,outstanding等等。
例3
原句:
In order to live a good life, it is becoming more and more important for people to learn knowledge well. Because in this modern world, knowledge is everything.
改句:
In order to live a happy life, it is becoming increasingly important for people to acquire knowledge well, for the reason that knowledge is everything in this modern world.
【解析】
首先我們看到原句中出現(xiàn)了more and more,在四六級(jí)作文中,它可算是常客,對(duì)閱卷老師而言,不具任何吸引力,而且有落入俗套的危險(xiǎn)哦,所以在我們把它用一個(gè)簡單的副詞來替代,副詞修飾形容詞,相信會(huì)令人感覺眼前一亮。
其次,我們還要注意一個(gè)搭配問題,原句中的learn knowledge是明顯的中式英語,很多同學(xué)會(huì)誤用,正確的搭配應(yīng)該是acquire knowledge。
最后,我們有余力可以把句子通過從句進(jìn)行相連,使句子看起來更有結(jié)構(gòu)感。
