專四英語的寫作技巧

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”,即主語位於句子開頭. 適當使用名言警句點綴頭。但若根據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.

窗户邊坐着一個年輕婦女。

 2. 避免重複使用同一詞語

為了使表達更生動,更富表現力,同學們在寫作時應儘量避免重複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:

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

合理恰當地使用省略句,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,我以後再來拜訪。要是不忙,我現在可以見他嗎?

(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.

由於不知道她的地址,我沒法和她聯繫。

(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。

 5. 結合使用長句與短句

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,根據實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.

中午我們曬着太陽吃野餐。休息一會兒後,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.

他告訴我問題現正正在討論中。

7. 恰當套用某些固定表達

(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.

這電影很有趣,學生和老師都很喜歡。

(3) Your son is old. He can look after himself now.

→ Your son is old enough to look after himself now.

你的兒子已經長大,可以自己照顧自己了。

8. 綜合使用各類所謂的“高級”結構

(1) Now everyone knows the news. I think Jim must have let it out.

→ Now everyone knows the news. I think it must have been Jim who has let it out.

現在人人都知道這消息了,我想一定是吉姆把它泄露出去的。

(2) We had to stand there to catch the offender.

→ What we had to do was (to) stand there, trying to catch the offender.

我們所能做的只是站在那兒,設法抓住違章者。

(3) If her pronunciation is not better than her teacher’s, it is at least as good as her teacher’s.

→ Her pronunciation is as good as, if not better than, her teacher’s.

如果她的語音不比她的老師好的話,至少也不會比她老師的差。

 9. 適當使用名言警句點綴

在寫作時根據實際情況恰當地用上一兩句名言警句來點綴文章,不僅使文章顯得有深度、有智慧,而且會讓文章在評分中上一個“得分檔次”。如:

(1) As the proverb says, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Though you fail this time, you needn’t lose heart. As long as you work hard and stick to your dream, you will succeed one day.

(2) There is a proverb goes like this “Life isn’t a bed of roses.” It is ture that it is likely for everyone to meet problems and difficulties in life.

(3) In the modern world, more and more people live alone, which is not so good for our life. It is better for us to make more friends and enjoy friendship. Just as a proverb says, “A near friend is better than a far-dwelling kinsman.”

10、認真審題磨刀不誤砍柴工。

審題至關重要,考生最好先花兩三分鐘時間進行構思,既有利於理清行文思路、也避免了差之毫釐、失之千里的遺憾。所謂審題,就是通過閲讀寫作題目或所給的閲讀材料和要求,正確領會題目的含義,瞭解題目要求,為構思符合寫作要求的文章思路及框架打下基礎。審題不是僅僅瀏覽一個標題,而是要兼顧觀點、情景、標題、寫作要求等因素。只有這樣,才能真正明確寫作目的,領會寫作要求。

11、注意行文的統一性和連貫性

行文的統一性和連貫性主要體現在作文的內容和框架結構上,一篇優秀的作文應該具備這樣的特點,它也是閲卷老師評分的重要標準。按照寫作要求,一篇合格的作文由三個部分組成。具體如下:

第一部分(the first part)應明確、清楚地闡述作者的論點(thesis statement)。

第二部分(the second part)是作文的主體。該部分要求通過恰當的語篇模式(如cause and effect,comparison and contrast,等等)來論證前面提出的論點。論證的過程要做到結構嚴謹、層次分明、合乎邏輯。要在寫作中抓住中心,並圍繞中心展開討論;觀點的闡述要合乎情理,觀點之間的銜接要自然、順暢。

第三部分(the last part)是作文的結尾。一般來説,結尾部分的內容應是對前面部分的總結,因此,它應與前面部分保持論點上的一致性和統一性。結尾部分千萬不要牛頭不對馬嘴,前後無連貫性,從而破壞作文的完整性,影響考試的得分。

12、注意語言的規範性和準確性

作文的思想內容都必須通過語言形式來表達。專四作文要求語言得體、通順,無重大語法錯誤。如果作文句不成句,用詞不當,語法錯誤連篇,就很難將作者的意圖表達清楚。

在歷年考試中,好的作文跟差的作文相比,常出現如下區別:①簡單句少。②從句和連詞出現的頻率明顯更高。③更多使用各種呼應。④關鍵詞和同義、近義詞出現的頻率更高。

13、保持卷面整潔卷面應保持整潔,給閲讀老師留下良好的第一印象。

卷面書寫字跡要工整、清楚,排列要規整,不要將卷面寫得密密麻麻,字體不宜過大或過小。每段開頭都應空出四個字母的位置。標點符號的使用及書寫要規範,切不可一逗到底或沒有標點。

考前應多練習,多看好的寫作範文,爭取在較短的時間內快速提升英語寫作能力。
