第一篇:新東方考研英語金牌資料寫作(7-8部分)
第七部分
不忘最后讀一遍
40分鐘的寫作,時間再緊,也要留出兩三分鐘的時間把文章通讀一遍,進行必要的修改。不要說我們初學寫作的人,就是大作家寫完一個章節或一部小說后都要反復讀上幾遍。在限時、緊張的寫作中,出現錯誤,尤其是語言上的錯誤是不可避免的。如果把這些錯誤留在那里,不得到改正,就會影響整篇文章的質量。閱卷人雖然不大會按你文章中語言錯誤的累計數目進行扣分,但錯誤,尤其是一些幼稚的錯誤,會給閱卷人員留下不好的印象,從而影響文章的分數。
那么修改應注意哪些方面呢?從結構方面來說:(1)看一看中心思想是不是突出?文章中有論述和材料是否都圍繞著這個中心思想展開?如發現個別句子或例子游離于中心思想之外,甚至與中心思想發生沖突,就應把它從文章中去掉。(2)看一看段與段之間,句與句之間是否連貫?銜接是否自然,或給人一種斷裂、跳躍的感覺?如發現這種情況,就要加一個句子或一些詞,或改變一下說法,以求文章的連貫。
但就修改來說,是主要還是放在語言上,即語法和詞匯上。
以下各例中,a)表示錯誤的或不宜提倡的句子,b)表示正確的或值得模仿的句子。
1.動詞謂語的時態是否有錯
例 1
a)We college students had enough time to take a parttime job, no matter how busy we
were...b)We college students have enough time to take a parttime job, no matter how busy we are...命題作文一般都是議論文,而寫議論文一般都是用現在時態。只有舉例,提到過去的事才會用到過去時。
例 2
a)Riding bicycles had more advantages than taking a bus.b)Riding bicycles had more advantages than taking a bus.考生中用過去時寫作與他們教材課文體裁(大多為敘述文、說明文)和平時寫作練習(大多寫個人經歷的故事)有關,也與他們過度概括有關,認為所有文章都用過去時。
例 3
a)There are so many countries using English that it had been regarded as an international
language.b)There are so many countries using English that it has been regarded as an international language.在論述同一事情,即發生在同一時間里的事時,前后半句或相鄰的幾句在時態上要保持一致。
2.主語和謂語,名詞和代詞,以及人稱是否保持一致
例 4
a)The eating habit of Chinese people have changed in the past decade.b)The eating habit of Chinese people has changed in the past decade.不管主語和謂語隔開多遠,主語當中還有修飾成分,謂語要和真正的主語在數上保持一致。
例 5
a)Now fruits and vegetables can be seen everywhere when it is in season.b)Now fruits and vegetables can be seen everywhere when they are in season.例 6
a)I feel proud to come to our university.b)I feel proud to come to this university
our和主語 I不一致,或把 our改成 my,或改成 this。而這里用 this 較妥。
3. 修飾語是否放在正確的位置上
例 7
a)Without television, people can't get information which comes from other parts of the world immediately.b)Without television, people can't immediately get information which comes from other parts of the world.a)句子,immediately 顯然放錯了位置。是“得到迅速從各地傳來的消息”,還是“迅速得到從各地傳來的消息”?意思含糊不清。
例8
a)At the age of six, my father began to give me English lessons.b)When I was five years old, my father began to give me English lessons.a)句子,At the age of six 放在這個位置上,變成了“我父親六歲的時候”。改變說法,可以解決這個問題。
例 9
a)To improve one's writing skill.regular practice is necessary.b)To improve one's writing skill, one must make regular practice.不定式短語的邏輯主語決不是regular practice,為了把邏輯關系表達清楚,要么把不定式短語改成If one wants to improve his writing skill,要么把主句改成one must make regular practice.4.表示相同的意思,是否用了平行語法結構
例 10
a)With the computer, one can do shopping, banking and read at home.b)With the computer, one can do shopping, banking and reading at home.can do shopping, banking and read at home, 用語法平行結構來衡量,用動詞原形 read是不妥的,為了和 do shopping, do banking 保持結構上平行,接下來的一個內容要用do reading.例 11
a)Nowadays, people not only eat enough food, but also eat better.b)Nowadays, people not only eat more, but also eat better.用 not only...but also, both...and, whether...or, either...or, as well as, along with等能連接兩個成分的連詞,前后兩個成分在結構上要保持一致。用 eat enough food, eat better不如用 eat more, eat better,都用副詞。
例 12
a)Participating in sports is good for our physical health, and through it we can also train our character.b)Participating in sports is good for our physical health, and it is also beneficial to our character-training.在說同樣的事時,相鄰的句子盡可能在語法結構上保持一致。
5.用代詞時,指代是否清楚
例13
a)Sometimes teachers will inform students of the heavy burden they have to bear.b)Sometimes a teacher will inform students of the heavy burden he has to bear.they 即可指代teachers, 也可指代 students,明顯的是指代不清。其實只要把其中一個名詞變成單數,用he和 they分別代不同的名詞,就清楚了。因為 a teacher也可泛指所有教師。
例14
a)Someone believes that the teacher's task is to give students knowledge, which may not be true.b)Someone believes that the teacher's task is to give students knowledge, a notion which may not be true.which指代什么不清楚,指 knowledge,還是指前面整個句子?如果指 Someone believes,最好用 a notion或an idea歸納一下整個句子的意思,然后引出從句。
例15
a)People have been fighting against the influence of TV commercials, but it often proves useless.b)People have been fighting against the influence of TV commercials, but the effort often proves useless.it 指什么?如指influence,則在 it often proves useless 這個句子中顯然不通。寫作人知道it指人們的努力,但effort 這個詞前面沒有出現過,就不能用it。
6. 相鄰的句子,是否避免了不必要的結構轉變
例16
a)While we reuce the number of vehicles, the speed of traffic can be increased.b)While the number of vehiles is reduced, the speed of traffic is increased.兩個非常相關的意思,不要一個使用主動結構,一個使用被動結構。
例17
a)Each of us may take a parttime job to help support ourselves, but if you spend too much time on it, your study will be affected.b)Each of us may take a parttime job to help support ourselves, but too much time spent on it, our studies will be affected.前半句用each of us和ourselves,后半句卻用you和 your study,應一致起來。
7.可數名詞與不可數名詞是否用得正確
例18
a)TV presents us with many useful informations.b)TV presents us with a lot of useful information
還有evidence, advice, knowledge等都是不可數名詞,都不能用復數。另外,many, a great number of, another, few 等只能與可數名詞配用。而a great amount of, a great deal of, less, much, 等應與不可數名詞配用。
例19
a)Making our cities greener is not an easy work.b)Making our cities greener is not an easy job.work 用作可數名詞是“作品”這類意思,而表示“工作”時,不可數。同樣,在 Word has been sent out that those who cheat on exams will be punished.這個句子中,要用單數word表示“信息”。
例20
a)Each people has his own opportunities.b)Each person has his own opportunities.people作“人民”、“人們”解時,是集體名詞,不能與each配用。a people或 peoples表示民族、國家。在正式語體中也不能說 less people,而應說 few people。
8.冠詞是否用得正確
例21
a)Book knowledge is important, but we should also learn something in the society.b)Book knowledge is important, but we should also learn something in society.用定冠詞the, 是特指意義,而這里沒有這個特指意義。同樣,在When I was in the high school, I always have a beautiful picture of the college life 中,兩個the都應去掉。
例22
a)If there were no electirc power, we would have to do everything by the hands.b)If there were no electric power, we would have to do everything by hand.表示用手(by hand), 走路(on foot), 上課(in class), 上學(go to school), 住院(at hospitable)等,都不用定冠詞。
例23
a)If there were no electric power, factory would stop producing goods, car, bus and train would stop running.b)If there were no electric power, factories would stop producing goods;cars, buses and trains would stop running.用可數名詞時,要么前面有冠詞(the, a, an)或代詞(his, her, my), 要么以復數形成出現。不能像中文名詞那樣沒有語法變化。
9.句子的主謂賓是否齊全。
例24
a)TV now plays an important role in our daily life, Because we cannot live without it.b)TV now plays an important role in our daily life.because we cannot live without it.中文用“因為”引出的句子可以獨立,但英語不行,作為從句,只能附屬主句。
例25
a)There are many ways to contact with society.For example, join in clubs, taking parttime jobs and helping the poor.b)There are many ways to contact with society, for example, joining clubs, taking parttime jobs and helping the poor.for example 引出的應是句子,如 For example we may join clubs, take part-time jobs and help the poor。有時也可不自立為句,跟在一個句子后面,借用主語。
例26
a)If no electricity, all activities such as watching TV and seeing movies will be impossible.b)If there is no electricity, all activities such as wathcing TV and seeing movies will be impossible.if no electricity(如果沒有電),但句中的no不是動詞,也就是說這個從句缺了謂語。
10.過渡詞是否用得合適
例27
a)Because some college graduates could not find a better job, so they decided to continue to read for a second degree.b)As come college graduates could not find a better job, they decided to continue to read for a second degee.漢語可以說 “因為......所以”, 但英語不能連用“because...so”.例28
a)Although an opportunity is rare, but we must be ready to seize it.b)Although an opportunity is rare, we must be ready to seize it.同樣,漢語可以說“雖然......但日”,而英語要么用although,要么用 but, 兩者不能同時用。
11.詞語的搭配是否正確
例29
a)We students should learn/study as much knowledge as possible.b)We students should acquire/obtain as much knowledge as possible.“學習知識”是考生作文中經常要表達的,但不少人用錯。英語中能和knowledge 搭配的是obtain, acquire, gain等。
例30
a)With a rise in the number of cars and buses, traffic in Shanghai has become more and more crowded.b)With a rise in the number of cars and buses, traffic in Shanghai has become increasingly heavier.traffic不和 crowded搭配,說 “交通擁擠繁忙”,應說 traffic is heavy/busy.如同中文里的“速度快”,英語不說 “The speed of cars is fast/quick.” 而是說“The speed of cars is high/fantastic.”或“cars are much faster.”
例31
a)People begin to eat more vice food.b)People begin to eat more non-staple foodstuff.副總統是vice presidents, 副食品應是 non-staple foodstuff, 而副經理、副教授、副作用分別是 assistant managers, associate professors, side effects,搭配不同。
12.詞語是否用得得當
例32
a)Actually, traffic jams have effected our daily life.b)Actually, traffic jams have affected our daily life.表示“不良影響”,動詞用affect, 而不是effect。
例33
a)When old problems are solved, new problems will rise.b)When old problems are solved, new problems will arise.rise 是“起來”、“上升”的意思,arise 才是“出現”的意思。
例34
a)There are many factors leading to changes in people's diet.At first, people can afford expensive food.b)There are many factors leading to changes in people's diet.First, people can afford expensive food.At first 是“起先”的意思,暗示后來情況完全兩樣。表示“首先”,要用first。就如 highly 和 high 是兩個同的意思,前者是作“非?!苯?,后者是“高”的意思。Women have risen high in social status.不能用 highly。13.是否重復使用了表示意思的詞語
例35
a)In my opinion, I believe the present educational system is in need of reform.b)In my opinion, the present education system is in need of reform.I believe 的意思已包括在In my opinion 里了,用一個就可以了。
例36
a)The reason why people choose to live in the country is because there is no pollution nor noise there.b)The reason why people choose to live in the country is that there is no pollution nor noise there.reason, why, because 都是指同一意思。至少要去掉一個。
例37
a)People try to find a solution to solve the problem.b)People try to find a solution to the problem.14. 介詞是否用得正確
例38
a)After four years, we all graduated from college and entered society.b)Four years later, we all graduated from college and entered society.用過去時時,表示四年以后,應用four years later,而不是 after four years。用于表示將來的四年后,也不用after,而是用介詞 in,如“We will all graduate in four years”。
例39
a)Many college students have a strong desire to be independent on their parents.b)Many college students have a strong desire to be independent of their parents.“依靠”的意思是用dependent on,但“不依賴、獨立”卻要用 independent of。
15.詞性是否用得正確
例40
a)The computer like TV, it has both advantages and disadvantages.b)Like TV, the computer has both advantages and disadvantages.表示“像”,like是一個介詞,這里誤作了動詞。
例41
a)Obviously, our country would stop develop if no electricity.b)Obviously, our country would stop developing in there were no electricity.這里,develop 應該用動名詞developing,而且 no不是動詞,說“沒有”,應當用 there is not(no)或have(has)not
例42
a)Riding bicycles conveniences my work.b)Riding bicycles is convenient to my work.convenience 不是動詞。表示“方便”,可用be convenient to的結構。
16.句子是否有明確的主語
例43
a)Unlike the movie, TV shows on continuously, and doesn't need to pay an extra money.b)Unlike the movie, TV shows on continuously, and one doesn't need to pay an extra money.doesn't need to pay an extra money 的主語是什么?顯然不是TV。漢語可以說:電視可以一直看下去,無需再花什么錢。把主語省去,但英語一定要有明確的主語。
例44
a)Too easy or too difficult is no good for us.b)The books which are too easy or too difficult are no good for us.Too easy or too difficult是形容詞短語,不能作主語,盡管漢語可以說“太容易或太難對我們都不利”。因此,加上The books which are,主語就有了。
例45
a)Reading books can acquire knowledge.b)Through reading one can acquire knowledge.看上去句子有了主語:Reading books,但這是假主語,因為acquire knowledge 的主語需是人。漢語的主語和謂語的關系可以是主題和評論的關系,可以說讀書能獲得知識。但英語不行,一定要有邏輯主謂關系。
17.一個句子是否確保只有一個動詞
例46
a)People think go to the movie will cost a lot of money.b)People think that going to the movie will cost them a lot of money.漢語一個句子里可以集結幾個動詞,形成連動結構:“到那里去看電影響”或兼語結構“叫我去看電影”,但英語不能這樣用。
例47
a)There are many people take part in sports and games now.b)Many people take part in sports and games now.同樣,漢語可以說:有許多人參加體育活動。但英語一個句子只能保留主要動詞,或用從句動詞:“There are many people who take part in sports and games now.”。
例48
a)Although difficulty is exist, but we can overcome it.正:Although difficulty does exist, we can overcome it.“困難是存在的”,英語不能用“is exist”。(順便指出,用了Although,就不能用but。)
18.表達是否符合英語的習慣
英語不僅在語言上有差異,在文化上也有不同。英語有某種說法,漢語里不一定有一模一樣的說法。好多東西是漢語特有的,英語是無法表達的或我們還無法表達。碰到這種情況,我們采取放棄的辦法,要是像例49所示的幾個句子那樣,硬要表達,不僅意思不清,還會鬧出笑話。
例49
a)We should put out hearts into the study.b)We young people are now living in sugar water.a)In a society where men are heavy and women are light, women cannot enjoy full equality.a)Peopl set off firecrackers to congratuate the red and white happy things.a)We should advocate five talks and four beauties.這五個句子都是“中國式英語”,請讀者修改成地道的英語。

Cross out the unnecessary wording:
Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an interesting Italian professor of philosophy who teaches courses at the University of Pisa in Italy.Athough I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten over the long years his special qualities.First of all, I was impressed from the beginning by his complete devotion to teaching his students.Because his lectures were always well-prepared and invariably clearly delivered, a great many students always swarmed into his classroom, filling the classroom to capacity.His many followers also appreciated the fact that he thoroughly believed in what he taught to students and that he was always intellectually stimulating to hear.Furthermore he could be counted on in every class session to explain his ideas in an imaginative way, introducing such various aids to student understanding as oil paintings, phonograph records, pieces of sculpture, and guest lecturers who were invited to speak to the class.Once he even sang a song in class before the students' eyes in order to illustrate a philosophical point.Second, I admired the fact that he would confer with students at almost any time outside of the classroom or talk with them on the telephone.Drinking coffee in the snack bar after having taught a class, he would easily make friends with students with great ease.Sometimes he would issue a challenge to a student to join with him in a game of chess.At other times, he would quite readily join groups of students to discuss subjects raging broadly from astronomy to scuba diving.Many young people visited him at one time or another in his office for academic advice;others came to his home for the purpose of social evenings.Finally, I was favorably impressed and attracted by his lively wit.He believed that no class hour is a success unless during it, the students and the professor have a reason to join together to share several chuckles and at least one loud laugh.Through his inimitable and captivating sense of humor, he made learning much more enjoyable and much more lasting.If it is true, as it seems to be, that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, then my friend is without question truly a wise man.Probably the best example he could possibly have given to us of his wit is this interesting idea with which he once ended a lecture:“ It is as dangerous for man to model himself upon his invention, the machine, as it would be for God to model himself upon His invention.”

paragraph development
(1)列舉法(Listing)
例1.Advertisement can be beneficial to people.First, it is informative and can help people buy and sell goods.Second, it can widen people's knowledge, and make people more experienced.Finally, people can enjoy themselves in watching those funny and interesting advertisement programs.例2.There are mainly two opinions on the relationship between man and machines.Some people believe that it will be possible for automatic machines, especially electronic computers, to replace man completely in the future.Others, however, argue that man is the decisive factor in production and the potential of man's intelligence is practically unlimited.列舉常用的表達方法有:first, second, in the first place, first of all, to begin with, in the second place, next, also, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what is more, beyond that, for one thing, for another, finally.(2)舉例法(Exemplification)
例1.Pollution is becoming more and more serious all over the world.For example, the poisonous gas sent off by factories and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe.Again waste water keeps pouring into rivers and lakes;as a result, any water lives are dying out.Furthermore, everywhere we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed.Pollution is, in fact threatening our existence.例2.In the past, a good student refers to one who was only good at studies.For example, in the school, what the school master cared about was how well the student did in his school subjects.It did not matter whether a student had good health or not as long as he got the top marks.At home, again before leaving for school, the parents would again and again tell their children to study hard and try to get good grades.As a result, many students showed little interest in anything else.舉例法常用的表達方法有:for example, for instance, as an example, as a case in point, as an illustration, such as, namely, that is, like, say.(3)因果法(Cause and Effect)
Nowadays there is often a misunderstanding between parent and child.The most obvious reason for this lack of communication is that they grew up at different times and therefore have different likes and dislikes for the things around them.Also the parent is often too busy to listen patiently to the explanation of the child when there is a misunderstanding.Both of them take it for granted that there is a “generation gap.”
原因與結果常用的表達方法有:because, because of, as, since, for, owing to, due to, on account of, on the ground of, as a result of, thus, so, consequently, hence, therefore, accordingly, as a result, for this reason, as a consequence, on that account, it follows that等
(4)對比和比較法(Comparison and Contrast)
The younger generation is essentially different from the older generation.The world of older people has vanished, and they do not understand all of the problems of the modern world.On the other hand, the younger people have grown up with these problems, and they are deeply concerned about them.The older generation still controls the power in business organizations, government, and education.The young people want to make changes in these areas to fit the needs of modern society.In order to reconcile their differences, both generations must realize that the world has changed, and that new responses are necessary for many of the problems of society.對比比較常用的表達方法有:similarly, likewise, in the same way, equally important, like, both, the same as, in common, on the contrary, on the other hand, otherwise, unlike, in contrast, whereas, rather than, conversely, instead, by contrast等。
(5)分類法(Classification)
There are three kinds of book owners.The first has all the standard and bestsellers unread, untouched.This deluded individual owns woodpile and ink, not books.The second has a great many books--a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean as the day they were bought.This person would probably like to make books his own, but is restrained by a false respect for their physical appearance.The third has a few books or many--every one of them dog-eared and dilapidated, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled in from front to back.This man owns books.Exercise 7
