随着高考书面表达命题及答题要求的提高,不少考生对书面表达不相适应的情景愈发突出,其中语言质量差是造成其文章可读性差的主要原因。对此现象,本文就遣词、造句、行文连贯等几个方面探讨提高语言质量,增加文采的几个方法,以提高学生的写作水平及写作效果。
一、遣词的技巧
1.准确贴切准确性是写作中不可忽视的一个重要方面,它直接或间接地影响到信息的准确传输。遣词能力,完全在于学生对一个单词内在含义的理解与把握。如“黑人”一词的选择,the blacks 要比Negroes好得多,因为后者含有种族歧视成分。
2.避免重复同一内容的不同表述,会彰显学生雄厚的词汇储备和灵活的表达能力,如“喜欢”,除like外,还可以用enjoy, be fond of, be crazy about, be keen on等,例:I like watching TV while she enjoys reading books.
3.选用高级词汇使用一些高级词汇或与众不同的结构会给阅卷老师留下良好的印象,且近年高考评分标准对此有明显倾向,如“掌握英语”,command English要比learn/grasp/master English好一些。
4.选词独辟蹊径俗话说,“话说三遍淡如水”,词汇的选择不应人云亦云,相反选词独辟蹊径,会给人耳目一新的感觉。如“分秒必争”,用Every minute counts. 就可能会避开大多数人使用的important 或make use of (every minute)等,效果要好得多。
5.巧“闪”妙转,迂回表达当某个单词没学或遗忘时,切忌生硬翻译,可将该词“闪”过,或用其他方式迂回表达。如要表达“汤姆买了苹果、香蕉和菠萝去看望他的老师”,又不知道“菠萝”一词该怎样说,可以写“Tom bought some apples, bananas and other fruit to see his teacher”。
二、造句的技巧
句子是表达完整思维、尤其是组成书面语篇的基本单位,其质量关乎书面表达的成败。如果满篇都是简单句,那高考作文的等级就大打折扣了。下边几种方法可以帮助同学们提高句子质量,增强表现力。
1.合并法:利用以下方法把简单句连接起来。
⑴合并为简单句
①利用非谓语形式
There’re more than fifty proposals. They will be discussed at the meeting. →There’re more than fifty proposals to be discussed at the meeting.
②利用介词短语
She appeared suddenly. Everybody was surprised. →Everybody was surprised at her sudden appearance.
③利用形容词状语
The lost boy returned home at last. He was safe and sound. →The lost boy returned home at last, safe and sound.
④利用同位语
Audrey is a mild-mannered woman. She married Thad. But Thad is a violently-tempered man.→Audrey, a mild-mannered woman, married Thad, a violently-tempered man.
⑵合并为复合句
We live in the world. The world is in constant motion and in constant change. →The world in which we live is in constant motion and in constant change.
The Chinese artists were to perform here that night. The news cheered everyone of us. →The news that the Chinese artists were to perform here that night cheered everyone of us.
⑶合并为并列句
Anna’s husband forgot her birthday. Anna was very disappointed. →Anna was very disappointed, for her husband forgot her birthday./Anna’s husband forgot her birthday; thus, she was very disappointed.
三、行文连贯的技巧
所谓行文连贯,也就是指通过使用过渡性词语来控制整个描述过程。同时我们也必须明确:并不是句子长、句型复杂,就能使行文连贯,很多代词、短语、句型都能很好地连接上下文。
1.运用关联词
⑴在同一话题上补充内容:what is more, besides, moreover, in addition等。
The rent is reasonable, and moreover, the location is perfect.
⑵表转折关系:but, however, yet, on the contrary, in contrast,whereas等。
You weren’t boring me.On the cottrary,you’re interesting me frightfully.
⑶表因果关系:since, as, because, so, thus, therefore, as a result, so that等。
These birds are very rare and therefore protected by law.
⑷表条件关系:if , on condition, as long as, unless, or else等。
I’ll come on condition that John is invited, too.
⑸表时间关系:when, while, as, after, until, as soon as, recently, since等。
It’s been years since I last saw him.
⑹表特定的顺序关系:above all, to begin with, firstly, then, finally, last but not the least等。
Firstly, I’ll mention the advantages, then I’ll talk about the disadvantages.
⑺换一种方法表述:in other words, that is to say, to put it another way等。
Your performance in the exam did not reach the required standard — in other words, you failed.
⑻进行举例说明:for instance, for example, like, such as等。
A lot of us want to leave now — Bill, for example.
⑼用于陈述事实:in fact, actually, as a matter of fact, to tell you the truth等。
To tell you the truth , who will go to the meeting is not important.
⑽对一个话题进行总结:to sum up, in short, all in all, in a word等。
In short, the film was the best I’ve ever seen.
2.运用非关联词
用代词、特殊标示词及惯用句型代替前面出现过的部分内容或句子,不仅会增加行文的连贯,而且会使文章更加简洁流畅,更合乎说英语人的口味。
⑴运用代词(it, them, this, that, one, so, etc.)
The old man says it will rain in the afternoon. If so, we will have to stay at home.
⑵运用特殊标示词(do, to, not)
He asked me to buy him a book and I did so.
My sister said that Li Hua has won the first place in the match. But I suppose not.
⑶运用惯用句型
Li Ping can dance but he cannot sing. So it is with Wang Hai./It is the same with Wang Hai.
Such was Albert Einstein, a man of achievements, deep thoughts, but with simple habits. 此句型用于描述人物或事件的作文,做为结束语,对全文有很好地概括作用。
四、体现思想性的技巧
新标准对写作的要求增加了情感因素,在准确流畅表达要点的同时,适当增加句子的感情色彩,增加一些人情味,可使文章读起来更亲切,更好地传达信息。
1.恰当使用程度词程度词的使用,可以准确地体现作者的语气及感情色彩。如Not only Huaihe River, but also many other rivers have been polluted seriously. “seriously” 一词的使用,使作者对河流污染的无比担忧跃然纸上。
2.巧用动词时态不同时态,会给人传递不同的心情体验。试比较:
I expect you to visit our school soon. (心情一般) →I am expecting you to visit our school soon! (心情急切)
I’m missing you very much. (此时的心情) →I have been missing you since we parted last year. (长时间的心情)
She is late for English class again.(厌烦情绪一般) →She is always late for English class.(语气特别厌烦)
3.活用语法结构
Never before could we easily find information with just a click.
Without the Internet,we wouldn’t have enjoyed our life so much.
4.注意体现感情色彩的特殊句式
How hard they find it to tear themselves away from computer games!
It was our powerful government that saved the serious situation!
The Internet does enable people to communicate with each other more easily and quickly.
书面表达能力的提高无捷径可走,只有坚持不懈地进行有效写作的训练,同时课外广泛阅读原汁原味的英文材料,并注意收集和背诵经典的范文佳句,才能在高考中写出质量上乘、文采斐然的文章。
