英语四级写作高分训练月计划第三周:星期二(1)
星期二 如何合理搭配长短句
在实际写作中, 一味地采用长短句都是不可取的,长短句应交替使用。英语的句子主要可分为简单句、并列句和复合句三种。一般来说,写作中是以简单句为基础,配以适当的并列句和复合句。简单句也可长可短,一般会加些附属成分,如分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语和副词短语等。
一、长句的用法
长句含有许多修饰语,适合表达准确而复杂的思想,解释观点或理论,描写细致的事物。写作时,考生要注意前后句子之间是否存在联系,善于发现简单句之间的关联,用恰当的连接词将简单句连接起来,组成准确地道的复杂长句,增加文章的气势。
如:
原句:Lies do harm to those who are being told . Lies also do harm to those who tell them .
优化:Lies not only do harm to those who are being told , but also do harm to those who tell them .
原句:Natural resources are very limited . They will be exhausted in the near future . It is not true . But it becomes a major concern around the world . This is a widely accepted fact .
优化:It is widely accepted fact that there is a major concern around the word for the exhavstion of limited natural resources in the near future , though it is unlikely to be true .
