凸顯文章亮點常用方法

寫作時，如果僅局限在把內容交代清楚的水準上，只選用一些普通的、直截了當?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，沒有可讀性。要使文章耐人尋味，有深度，同學們就應嘗試使用一引起高級詞匯或句型，以凸顯文章的亮點，使文章增添文采，給讀者(尤其是閱卷留下深刻印象)。具體說來，同學們可嘗試以下方法：

一、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)情況適當改變句子的開頭方式，比如使用倒狀語或以狀語開頭等，會使文章增強表現(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.

窗戶邊坐著一個年輕婦女。

4. The door opened and Mr Smith came in.

→ The door opened and in came Mr Smith.

門開了，史密斯先生走了進來。

二、避免重復使用同一詞語

為了使表達更生動，更富表現(xiàn)力，同學們在寫作時應盡量避免重復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。如有的同學一看到“喜歡”二字，就會立刻想起like，事實上，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：

1. I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

三、合理使用省略句

合理恰當?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。

四、適當運用非謂語結構

非謂語結構通常被認為是一種高級結構，適當運用非謂語結構，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.

他出生農民家庭，只上過兩年學。
