3)介词短语的使用
【例10】
1. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price though their quality is relatively poor.
2. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price despite their relatively poor quality.
【分析】第1句中的让步状语从句并不强调动作,只是一种存在的事实,因此第2句用介词短语“despite…”代替了该从句,句子结构更加简化,表达上更加体现出英语味道。
3.动态动词的使用
要做到选词形象生动,还要注意选择具有动态意义的词,这些表示具体动作的动态动词往往比be, there be, make, need等静态动词更有活力,可以达到更好的写作效果。
【例11】
1. There are various answers among different groups of people.
2. Answers vary among different groups of people.
【分析】第1句中使用的there be句型属典型的静态表达,第2句中则使用了动词词组take place,明显比第1句多了一分动态的生气。
4.注意词语的感情色彩
英语中许多词带有自己的感情色彩,有褒义词、中性词和贬义词之分。选词时必须注意这种区分,否则会因褒贬失宜而造成用词不当,影响句子的准确表达。
另外,除了褒贬之分,词语还带有很多其他的感情色彩,如有的明快,有的凝重,有的有讽刺意味,有的带有幽默色彩,如能够恰当运用,无疑会使表达更加形象生动。
【例12】
I am firm, you are stubborn, he is pig-headed.
【分析】firm, stubborn和pig-headed三个词都有“不轻易改变决定”的意思,firm是通常是褒义词,意为“坚定”,stubborn通常是中性词,意为“固执,执着”,而pig-headed通常是贬义词,意为“顽固,僵化”,使用时要注意根据具体的语境选择合适的词。
三、开头结尾突破常规
1.开头的写法
文章的开头除了要表明主题外,还有一个重要的任务就是吸引阅卷老师的注意。因此,开头一定要具有与众不同的吸引力,这样才能给阅卷老师留下深刻的印象。下面介绍几种实用有效的开头方式及常用句型:
1)现象法
所谓现象法,就是在文章开头就指出某种社会现象或问题。这种开头方式在六级写作中十分常见,主要应用于现象解释型作文和问题解决型作文。
