浅谈四六级写作的“七项基本原则”

2010年四级听力考试总结

经典句型备考2010年12月CET4 

  句子是由词或短语按语法规则组成,表达一个完整意思的语言单位。好的英语句子应该是结构意思正确完整,连贯流畅,言简意赅。但是如果一篇文章中所有的句子都是结构单一(以主语开头,采用"主-谓-宾"或"主-谓-表"的结构)、长短均等的话,句子写得再好,文章也是单调呆板,缺乏生气。要克服这种句式"单一"现象,可以通过变换句子开头以及句式两种手段。

  一、句子开头多样化来源:www.examda.com

  写作时最常见的是用名词或代词构成的主语作为句子的开头。除了主语外,句子中还有以下几种成分可以作为句子的开头。

  1.以同位语作为句子的开头。试比较下列两个句子:

  A. Xiao Wang, our monitor,will attend the meeting.

  B. Our monitor, Xiao Wang, will attend the meeting.

  句A以主语Xiao Wang开头,句B以同位语Our monitor开头。

  2.以单个修饰语作为句子的开头。

  这个修饰语可以是形容词、分词或副词。试比较下面几组句子:

  A. She is young and ambitious, she works hard to get the job.

  B. Young and ambitious, she works hard to get the job.

  句A以主语She开头,句B以形容词短语Young and ambitious开头。

  C. The girl entered the room gracefully.

  D. Gracefully, the girl entered the room.

  句C以主语The girl开头,句D以副词Gracefully开头。

  E. The students reached the top of the mountain exhausted.

  F. Exhausted, the students reached the top of the mountain.

  句E以主语The students开头,句F以过去分词Exhausted开头。

  3.以短语修饰语作为句子的开头。

  短语修饰语可以是介词短语、不定式短语、分词短语以及独立主格结构。试比较下列各组句子:

  A. A beautiful girl stood in front of me.

  B. In front of me stood a beautiful girl.

  句A以主语A beautiful girl开头,句B以介词短语In front of开头。

  C. The students worked hard to pass the exam.

  D. To pass the exam, the students worked hard.

  句C以主语The students开头,句D以不定式短语To pass the exam开头。

  E. He was confused about the problem and went to ask for his teacher.

  F. Confused about the problem, he went to ask for his teacher.

  句E以主语He开头,句F以过去分词短语Confused about开头。

  G. You may go home after you finish your homework.

  H. Your homework finished, you may go home.

  句G以主语You开头,句H以独立主格结构Your homework finished开头。

  4.用从句作为句子的开始。试比较下列句子:

  A. I will attend your lecture if I am free.

  B. If I am free, I will attend your lecture.

  C. We all know she is famous.

  D. That she is famous is known to us all.

  句A和句C以主语开始,句B和句D以从句开始。

  值得注意的是句子的开头与句子所需强调的意义密切相关。改变词序有时会导致句子意义的细微变化。因此,在特定的上下文中决定是否改变某一句子的词序时,不仅要考虑我们所要表达的意思(如为了强调句子中的某个成分,将正常语序中较晚出现的成分移到句首),还要考虑是否有利于上下文的衔接过渡以及句子是否均衡等。

  二、句式的多样化

  句式多样化是对一篇好的文章的基本要求。要做到这一点,首先要对英语句子有充分的了解。英语句子种类很多,句法结构丰富多彩。通常可以按照以下标准对英语句子进行分类:

  1.根据使用目的的不同,将句子分为陈述句,疑问句,祈使句和感叹句。

  (1)陈述句说明一个事实或是陈述说话人的看法。例如:

  A. He must have finished his homework.

  B. She is a diligent student.

  (2)疑问句提出问题。例如:

  A. Does she know English?

  B. What did you do last night?

  (3)祈使句用来表示请求,命令,叮嘱,邀请,劝告等。例如:

  A. Have a cup of tea.

  B. Don't smoke.

  (4)感叹句表示说话时的惊讶,喜悦,气愤等情绪。例如:

  A. What an interesting film!

  B. How beautiful it is!

  2.根据语法结构的不同,将句子分为简单句,并列句,复合句以及并列复合句。
