英语写作中抽象名词的运用命题人说，好作文在于好句子。这给我一个疑惑：作文到底是重形式还是重内容。昨天和汪少华教授闲聊，他说肯定要重内容，但这不是形式和内容之争，因为形式也是内容 。你要把一个句子写好，必然要丰富很多内容，形式展开的过程也是内容的充实过程。这个逻辑很不错，下面我就命题人提到的作文好句子的五个标准最后一个： 关注抽象名词来谈谈。说起抽象名词，下面请看一个例子：请翻译：如果我们看电视太多，这会会影响学习。正常是：If we watch too much TV, it will affect our study.进阶一下：If we are exposed to too much TV, it will affect our study.再进阶：Being exposed to too much TV will affect our study.以上似乎已经够了，其实不然：Heavy exposure to TV will affect our study.这个句子就很耐看了。记住：英语是重名词的语言，尤其是抽象名词。因为英语重视物质的属性，这是希腊文化的传统。为了让大家更好理解，下面我总结了一下，但我要强调的是： 写作到了考虑抽象名词的层次，那平时作文应该从不少于 18 分了，否则要慎用！【例句】1. Heavy exposure to TV will affect one’s study.看电视太多会影响学习。2. Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small plastic cards.然而广告公司大做广告，让越来越多的人相信这种小塑料卡的好处.3. Reluctance to retire was associated with anticipated deprivations, mainly of money rather than of attachment to work.人们不愿退休与他们预想中将要失去很多东西有关，其中主要是失去赚钱的机会，而不是丧失对工作的依恋之情。4. A five-day week has found an immediate welcome and much popularity ever since.五天工作制立即受到了人们的待遇欢迎和拥护。【规律】不同位置的抽象名词运用规律主语位置：the absence of, the abundance of, the acceptance of, the analysis of, the anticipation of, the arrival of, the invention of, the awareness of, his concern of, the criticism of, the demand, his eagerness, the examination of, his explanation of, the exploration of, his praise of, the failure of, the gr...
