实例讲解托福高分作文的写作技巧言简朴实原则是行文主张不写啰嗦或绚丽的字眼(flowery or wordy),一句能用两个字,绝不多加一个。 例如:At this point in time, we should pull together for our goal. (现在我们应该为我们的目标团结一致)这句话中 At this point in time 表示现在,我们完全可以用 now 来代替。 Despite the fact that my English is not very good, I am not discouraged.(虽然我的英语不好,但我不灰心。)这句话中 despite the fact tha t= although = though, 因此我们完全可以改成 Although my English is not very good, I am not discouraged. In the majority of cases, he likes to ride bike to the office. (他通常喜爱骑单车到办公室)。很简单的一句话,完全可以写成 He usually likes to ride bike to the office. 平常我们所说的用词多样化和地道并不是体现在这些时间副词或者是完全可以简化的啰嗦句型上,而是指有用性极强的词如动词和形容词,比如: Original: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and help you to understand other peoples feelings and learn to be kind. Revised: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social experience and help you to understand other peoples feelings and learn to be considerate. add,kind 表达的含义都比较宽泛。add 可以指数量上的增加,也可以指程度的加强,对于丰富经验、增加知识这个意思,用 enrich 会使表达更准确。kind 从字面意义上讲是好的、善良的,用 kind 来形容人无法具体地表现出一个人的性格特征到底怎样,原句中是想表达考虑周到、体贴入微的特点,要准确表达这个含义应选择 considerate。 另外,我们常见的一些累赘用词表现在句意的理解上,比如: He has had many years of (actual) experience in business. (他有多年经商的经验) actual 是多余的,因为 experience 已经有 actual 的意味了。 We assembled (together) all the parts for our radio. (我们装好收音机的零件)assemble 本身就有 together 的意思,因此 together 是多余的。 此外还有,in reference to=about; draw to close=end;...
