2010 高考英语写作辅导十六天第一天:造句的两大技巧【芝麻开门】句子是文章的基本单位
成功的作品是由清晰而合乎语法规则的句子组成的
然而一个好的句子除了能够准确表达作者的意思,还需要简洁生动,这是在考试中获得高分的法宝
一、句子要简洁A hero is nothing but a product of his time
写作要求精练,因为,简洁的表达能起到更加强调的作用
我们要写出效果好、影响大的文章,就要想方设法 1)避免使用空洞、多余的短语;2)避免过多地使用较长的句子结构,如并列句和从属句等;3)避免不必要的重复
请看下面各例:1)Owing to the fact that I had a lot of work to do, it wasn’t possible for me to accept their invitation
本句要表达的意思很简单,可是一堆空洞的短语使句子显得很累赘,改为下面的句子就简洁明了多了
I was too busy to accept their invitation
2) He is a man who is honest, who always pays his just debts, and who observes the golden rules in his dealings with others
英语中比较重要的从属概念可用从句的形式表达,其它次要的概念常用词或短语来表达,因为句子比短语显得更重要
过多地使用从句会把次要的与主要的概念混为一谈,削弱句子的重点
该句可改为:He is an honest man who always pays his just debts, and who observes the golden rules in his dealings with others
