12月英语四六级短文写作亮点设计A(2)

2008-12-01 
写作亮点设计.


  1. To be a three good student is always a symbol of achievement for the Chinese students.

  2. To be an all-round student is always a symbol of achievement for the Chinese students.

  【分析】a three good student在此是表示“三好学生”,中国人都能看懂,但却令外国人费解,是典型的“中国式英语”;而恰当的表达应该是“an all-round student”,或用比较直白的方式将其译为“an excellent student in all aspects”。

  5.避免口语化

  六级作文除个别应用文以外,基本都属于较正式的书面文体,因此在写作时要避免使用口语化的词汇,具体遣词时要注意以下几点:

  1)避免使用缩写形式,比如 do not不要写成don’t,it is不要写成it’s。

  2)避免使用方言俚语,比如a whole 'nother(完全不同的)或flip side(另一面,反面)等。

  3)避免使用非标准化的表述方式,比如gonna, wanna之类的口语。

  4)尽量使用单词而不是短语,比如用investigate要优于用look into,用determine要优于make up one’s mind,因为相对单词来说,短语更加口语化,而且不够精练。

  5)不要总使用常用的、口语色彩较浓的词汇,比如many, about, do之类的词。
【例5】

  1. Many college students are gonna take part in CET-4.

  2. Many college students would like to take part in CET-4.

  【分析】be gonna与would like to都可以表示“想要或打算…”,但be gonna是口语中的非正式用法,不能出现在书面文体中。

  6.避免赘言啰嗦

  考生在写作时要有意识地使用同义词、同根词或上、下义词来取代上文中出现过的词汇以避免重复和啰嗦,以求文采。

  【例6】

  1. With the publication of the novel, he became famous as the greatest writer living then, and he has been more and more famous as a major American author ever since. He is now also becoming more and more famous with Chinese readers.

  2. With the publication of the novel, he became famous as the greatest writer living then, and his reputation as a major American author has been on the increase ever since. He is now also becoming more and more popular with Chinese readers.

  【分析】第1段中表示“闻名”使用的都是同一个词“famous”,给人感觉单调乏味,缺少文采;而第2段中则使用了“famous”、“reputation”和“popular”三个词性不同、意义接近的词来表达“闻名”的意思,而且“on the increase”和“more and more”表达的也是同样的意思,这样就避免了用语的重复,表达灵活生动,颇具文采。
