【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。

  二、遣词用语形象生动

  文章的形象生动是由多方面因素决定的,遣词用语也是一个重要的方面。要做到选词形象生动,主要应注意以下几个方面:

  1.选用具体明确的词

  在特定的语境下,要根据表“情”达“意”的需要,尽量选用含义比较形象具体的词来取代那些含义比较抽象的词,也就是要从一般趋于特定、由抽象趋于具体、由模糊趋于明确。

  【例7】

  1. No one saw the bank being broken into.

  2. No one witnessed the bank being broken into.

  【分析】see表示“看,看见”,意思比较抽象,范围较大;而witness则强调“亲眼目睹”,描述的动作更为具体生动,更符合“目睹银行抢劫”这一具体的语境。

  2.利用不同的词类

  英语和汉语在词性的运用上有很大区别,但很多考生往往受汉语思维的影响,经常完全依据汉语的词性对译英文,导致作文中出现多个谓语动词集结的错误或造出来的句子十分生硬死板。因此,考生在平时训练时一定要注意摆脱汉语思维的束缚,学会根据具体的语境活用不同的词类,这样才能写出地道生动的句子。

  1)抽象名词的使用

  【例8】

  1. They are written in plain language so that everyone can read when they want to entertain or relax themselves.

  2. They are written in plain language so that everyone can read for entertainment or relaxation.

  【分析】第2句中用抽象名词entertainment和relaxation代替了第1句中的动词entertain和relax,将时间状语从句简化成介词短语,使句子表达更加简洁地道。

  2)形容词的使用

  【例9

  1. Piracy has become a phenomenon that can be seen everywhere.

  2. Piracy has become a prevailing phenomenon.

  【分析】第2句中用具体的形容词prevailing代替了第1句中的定语从句,更加形象生动地描述了这种现象。
