英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作技巧:學(xué)說(shuō)有用的廢話
編者按:英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作是需要技巧的,我經(jīng)常對(duì)學(xué)生說(shuō):很多時(shí)候我們需要說(shuō)廢話,因?yàn)閺U話也有用.有情趣的人通常會(huì)說(shuō)廢話.因此,英語(yǔ)作文里需要點(diǎn)綴一些廢話。
定義法(definition)
必要時(shí)應(yīng)對(duì)讀者可能不熟悉的單詞、術(shù)語(yǔ)、概念下定義, 主要包括以下幾種方法:
1 )運(yùn)用同義詞或詞組來(lái)釋術(shù)語(yǔ)或新詞。
例如:
Recovery is defined as returning to a normal state.
2)用定語(yǔ)從句為名詞或術(shù)語(yǔ)下定義。
例如:
A generator is a device which produces electricity.
3)外延式定義,用同義詞定義或用句子定義。其特點(diǎn)是先解釋術(shù)語(yǔ),然后用實(shí)例說(shuō)明。
例如:
Poetry is a branch of literature which explores ideas, emotions, and experiences in a unique form and style. Poetry depends on precise and suggestive wording. In other words, a poem says much in little space.
有時(shí)候,明知有些詞不需要解釋,但是為了后面的主題句作鋪墊,偶爾也借用一下解釋法。例如:
School is a place where we have more than academic work, therefore, we have outdoor activities quite often.
如果沒(méi)有劃線部分,是不是就單調(diào)多了?
