句子重心——精准、地道的表达

句子的重心在主干

从「句子 = 主干 + 修饰」知道,修饰是围绕主干而展开的。

eg. 看在我的面子上,你就帮帮他。(这里主句是「你就帮帮他」)

句子的重心在转折后

转折后的内容才是重点,这点和做阅读是一致的。

举例:

  • Although the environment has become better, there are still many problems. (强调问题很多)
  • Although there are still many problems, the environment has become better. (强调环境变好)
  • The environment has become better, but there are still many problems. (强调问题很多)

句子的重心在主语

假如我们需要写一句内容为:号召人们多坐公交车,以此来减少污染。

这句话要强调的是「坐公交」或者「减少污染」

第一招 主动转被动

People do A → A be done

Public transport should be taken as much as possible to reduce pollution.

Pollution can be reduced if taking public transport becomes more prevalent.

第二招 动词名词化

People do → Do 的名词形式/Doing

Taking public transport contributes to reducing pollution.

The reduction of pollution results from taking public transport.


总结

复杂句子中,表意重心在主句。

多个分居中,重心在转折后。

单个句子中,重心在主语。

常用套句总结——体现结构与语言

套版的存在是因为:问法固定了,回答问题的结构也就相对固定了;结构固定了,体现结构的语言也就会反复出现。

以内容为主,适当使用套版,可以锦上添花。

接下来总结观点句表达的套版。

1. 被动语态 / 主语从句

It is widely accepted that X is good.

It is/ It has been +

widely/ unanimously/ prevalently/ commonly/ convincingly +

know/ accepted/ believed/ argued/ agreed/ recognized +

that...

比如 It has been unanimously believed that X is good.

2. 非限定性定语从句的特殊用法

X is good, which is widely known.

As is/can be +

widely/ unanimously/ prevalently/ commonly/ convincingly +

know/ accepted/ believed/ argued/ agreed/ recognized

例如:As is widely known, X is good.

3. 主语从句 + 形容词

It is convincing that X is good.

It is +

completely/ absolutely +

obvious/ convincing/ crystal clear/ undeniable/ evident +

that...

4. 主语从句 + 名词

It is an evident fact that X is good.

It is a/ an

obvious/ convincing/ crystal clear/ undeniable/ evident +

fact/ truth/ argument/ saying +

that...

5. 被动语态 + 同位语从句

A convincing argument can be made that X is good.

A/ An +

obvious/ convincing/ crystal clear/ undeniable/ evident +

fact/ truth/ argument/ saying +

can be made/ found/ supported +

that...

6. 介词短语

As an evident fact, X is good.

As a/an +

obvious/ convincing/ crystal clear/ undeniable/ evident +

fact/ truth/ argument/ saying

7. 主语从句 + 最高级

What impressed me (the) most is that X is good.

What is (the) most noticeable is that...

The most impressive benefit is that...

The most noticeable fact is that...

注意,最高级的套句只适用于第一个论点。(最重要的观点通常被放在首位)

替换词的使用——写作中的“一键 P 图”

写作质量低下的原因可能是因为中文不好,解决方法——中文带动英文。

  1. 用词要场景化、具体化,比如“有很多树木” → “茂盛的树木”
  2. 用非成语解释成语,比如“当学生毕业时” → “当学生们准备踏入社会时”、“当学生们即将离开校园时”(这里的成语是说常规的语言,这里比较正式的名称叫做「同义转述」paraphrase)
