6類SAT寫作常見問題之四 動詞形式
在學生平時的SAT寫作練習中,留學的老師們通過長期的觀察與總結,發(fā)現(xiàn)了6類常見的問題,這是導致學生在考試中丟分的原因。在英語中動詞形式有多種,考生容易犯的錯誤就是對動詞在不同地方使用的形式把握不清,有的應該使用動名詞的,卻直接用了動詞原形,有的應該使用過去分詞的,卻是用了動名詞。今天我們就來看SAT寫作6類常見問題之四:動詞形式。
1、Original: So take all the above factors into account,I may not quite agree with the opinion that parents are our best teaches.
Revised:So,taking all of the above factors into account,I do not agree with the opinion that parents are our best teachers.
本段開頭的so take all 本應該是伴隨狀語成分,但作者直接用了動詞原形,這是錯誤的,應該和主句的主語I保持邏輯一致,是作者把以上的因素考慮在內(nèi)的。除此以外,原句中作者為能明確表明自己的立場,把may not quite agree改為do not agree。
2、Original:We can enjoy the art of cuisine in cooking rather than tolerating the time-consuming preparation.
Revised: We can enjoy the art of cooking rather than simply tolerate the time-consuming preparation.
rather than的前后用此應保持一致,此處rather than后的用詞要與其前面的動詞原形enjoy保持一致,故將tolerating改為tolerate。原句中還有一個用此問題,cuisine本意為烹飪,與in cooking沖突,故只保留一個cooking即可。
3、Original:Drink water with hygiene will certainly benefit the local folks a lot.
Revised:Drinking clean water will certainly benefit the local population.
原句動名詞作主語,將drink該為drinking。原句中還有詞匯表達問題:干凈的水用clean water表達恰當,不用water with hygiene。
4、Original:The rapid development of science and technology has lead to an increasing need for more relaxation in off-work time.
Revised:The rapid development of modern economies has led to an increasing need for more relaxation in off-work time.
原句中l(wèi)ead在現(xiàn)在完成時中應該用過去分詞,應該為led。
5、Original:CCTV 10 is such a channel intended to teach people...
Revised:CCTV 10 is a channe that teaches people...
原句中的intend不應用過去分詞的形式。
6、Original:They keep focused on money while friends and families slip away.
Revised:They keep focusing on money while friends and families slip away.
focus此處應該用動名詞形式,keep doing一直做某事,keep focusing on。
通過以上的分析,在SAT寫作中考生需注意以下幾點:固定搭配中的動詞形式;動名詞或動詞不定式可以作主語;不同時態(tài)、語態(tài)中的動詞形式。虛擬語氣也是SAT寫作中容易出現(xiàn)問題的地方,主要是由于考生在寫作中沒有使用虛擬語氣的意識。所以,在平時考生應該加強對虛擬語氣的了解,注意虛擬語氣中動詞的使用。
