第一篇：如何寫出地道的英文文章及什么是英文思維

如何寫出地道的英文文章以及如何是英文思維

寫在前面的話：這篇文章是已經(jīng)在中英同聲傳譯崗位工作九年的CindySSS師姐關于英文寫作的一些小心得，在轉(zhuǎn)到這里的過程中，我進行了一些小修改，比如把喬治奧威爾的六原則的翻譯貼在了這里。寫作不是一蹴而就的事情，需要經(jīng)過長期有意識的訓練。這是師姐的博客地址：http://cindysss.com/ 首先明確目的，需要寫什么類型的文章，業(yè)務郵件、商業(yè)企劃書、新聞稿件還是小說散文。每個類型，你需要看的文章和學習的方式側(cè)重都不一樣。

其次是方法，想到的是幾點需要注意的地方，當然并不完全。不是說你做到了以下這幾點，一周后就能夠?qū)懗隽骼氐赖挠⑽膩恚亲龅搅诉@些，日月有功，慢慢的就會看到自己的進步。

1.用英文思考，就算是只知道幾百個單詞，也要用英文思考，這樣才有可能產(chǎn)生語感。這是最最基本的要求。

2.大量閱讀。看自己感興趣的東西，不一定需要很難。《哈利波特》可以《冰與火之歌》也行，StephanKing或是現(xiàn)代愛情小說也沒有什么不可以（盡量找當代的東西）。這個階段其實還是培養(yǎng)語感。

3.寫。其實并不需要一開始就追求「地道」，或是「文采」。初學者如果一開始就把目標定在這里，就會自覺不自覺地在不清楚怎么用的情況下使用「看起來很牛」的詞或是句子。像是學開車一樣，一開始的目標并不是要學成漂移，而是安安穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地在保證自己和他人安全的前提下到達自己的目的地。

最重要的原則，是寫下來的東西一定要清楚明白。開始的時候請少用，甚至不用從句，永遠不用自己不認識的詞。如果一定要用新詞，要查英英詞典（桌子椅子這種性質(zhì)的名詞除外）看例句，把副詞搭配和用法都弄清楚了才能用。Thesaurus一定要和英英字典結(jié)合著用。寫完之后，請通讀(可以讀出聲來)幾次，把明顯的單復數(shù)、時態(tài)和人稱錯誤都改好。段和句子都分好。看看整篇文章的邏輯清不清楚。這看起來很簡單，但是其實「地道」最基本的要求，就是讓別人能夠明白你想要表達的意思。

《經(jīng)濟學人》網(wǎng)站上寫作風格指引很好，引用了喬治奧威爾的六個基本要求，雖然是英文但是非常非常簡單易懂，建議大家直接點進去看看http://www.tmdps.cn/styleguide/introduction。

【1.不要使用隱喻、明喻，以及其他你從報刊上看到的比喻手法。2.在能用小詞的地方絕不使用大詞。3.如果可以剔除一個詞，剔除之。4.能用主動語態(tài)的不用被動語態(tài)。

5.如果你能從日常英語中找到合適的對應的詞，絕不使用外國短語、科學詞語和一些專門的行話。

6.如果按規(guī)則會說出粗野的話，立即打破上述規(guī)則。】 4.進步

有三四年中，一個星期至少會有兩三個早上，我會坐在電腦前面打開當天的NewYorkTimes,找出自己感興趣的文章，仔細閱讀，把覺得不錯或是一直不知道怎么說的表達方式記在一個legalpad里面，第二天再看一次，不時再翻一翻。（現(xiàn)在也該這么做的，實在是懶了）。把一個意思的不同表達方式都慢慢匯集到一起。在適合的時候用上。（而你不一定用NewYorkTimes,還是看你需要寫哪個類型的東西，可以是匯豐財報，也可以是wired。）

這么做下來，寫出來的東西應該就會越來越地道，重要的還是堅持,實在是懶的話，把「最重要的原則」那段列出來的幾點做到，你的讀者應該已經(jīng)會很感動了。

.................................................11.05....................................................................................關于奧威爾六原則的問題。有很多同學反映，這六原則似乎有點過時了，在國內(nèi)諸多的應試作文中大多追求各種從句、復雜句以及華麗的辭藻，句子能寫多復雜就寫多復雜。時過境遷，一些原則可能確實有所爭議，我的意見也是兼聽則明，偏聽則暗。前陣子《中國好聲音》很火，劉歡老師在點評選手時常說一句話：“唱歌時不要去秀技巧，而是用心去挖掘感情。”另外，我還想引用一句話，每個設計師或多或少都有這樣一個夢想：tocreateanenormousobjectdrawnasfaintlyaspossible.見山是山，見山不是山，見山又成山。為了迎合國內(nèi)閱卷老師，寫復雜點也無可非議。

.................................................11.05....................................................................................英語思維的問題。同樣引用師姐的話。

人在思考的時候，用的是「思維的語言」，這種語言語法相對簡單，也相對模糊。而在需要輸出的時候，我們才把這個「思維的語言」「翻譯」成自己要說的語言。所以，在學習母語的時候，我們是將「思維的語言」和母語對應起來。

而在學習外語的時候，我們需要做的事情，是將「思維的語言」和外語對應起來。但是有很多人，因為母語很直接和顯性，所以不知不覺地，把母語和外語對應，這樣的話，等于你要說一句外語，要先從「思維的語言」生成意思，再「翻譯」到母語，再「翻譯」成外語。這樣，對于外語規(guī)則的學習，就變成了基于母語，而不是更本能的基于「思維的語言」。我總是覺得，所謂的「擅于」學什么東西。只是人本能學習這樣東西的方法，正好貼近這樣東西的本質(zhì)而已。

說了這么多，其實并沒有直接回答「如何培養(yǎng)英語思維？」的這個問題。因為我覺得英語思維不是「培養(yǎng)」出來的，而是一個開關，有，還是沒有。是逼著自己做出來的。如果要有的話，就要從Thisisanapple開始，硬逼著自己把「思維的語言」——母語——英語的這條通路，改成「思維的語言」——英語。這是個漫長慢慢練習的過程。

......................................................11.05.........................................................................關于思維養(yǎng)成的事情。

有同學反映問英語思維該如何養(yǎng)成，其實一言以蔽之便是：輸入，輸入，大量的輸入！我覺著張曉楠老師的這篇文章就很不錯《如何邊學邊寫提高英語寫作水平》雖然張曉楠老師的出發(fā)點是練習寫作，但是在我看來，也是一種很好的練習英文思維的方法，我把部分內(nèi)容摘抄如下：

【模仿寫作。模仿寫作類似于、但不同于漢譯英。模仿寫作要求文章本身是原汁原味的英語文章，同時有比較地道的漢語翻譯。我們在訓練的時候，先不要看英語原文，而是看著翻譯過來的漢語，先把它翻回英文。之后再和英語原文對照。有比較就有鑒別。通過這種比較，我們就能夠感覺出，同樣一個意思，人家用那個詞，那樣的句型表達，為什么比自己寫的好。這比單純的背誦人家寫好的英語范文，或者自己埋頭苦寫，不去積累，效果要好很多。這個方法很簡單，但對于提高寫作水平非常有效。】

第二篇：英文文章

Explore Nanjing, host of 2014

Youth Olympics

The 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing are only a few days away.As the world tunes in to the international event, the host city has a chance to highlight its unique charm and fascinating history.Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, does not see the flow of international travelers that Beijing and Shanghai do.With a blend of the modern and traditional, Nanjing has a proud history of being “the ancient capital of six dynasties”.Royal summer retreats of Chinese emperorsTaking a summer escape away from hot and stuffy air is not a modern idea.At a time when air conditioning and the refrigerator were not even a summer dream, traveling to a place for milder weather and cooler water seemed more important to people, including for the emperors.Like clockwork, many emperors would stay at a summer resort with their concubines and ministers during the hottest months each year.Here we take a look at some of the summer resorts lived by the royal families, which now can be enjoyed by ordinary people.Boeing 787 to serve Xiamen Air A Boeing 787, the first of its kind for Xiamen Air, will land at Xiamen Airport in Fujian province on Aug 31 after completing its first test flight on Aug 12 in Seattle, US.The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first mid-sized long-range airliner in aircraft history.As Xiamen Air’s first wide-bodied aircraft, the Boeing 787 can fly 14,232 kilometers and enable Xiamen Air to open more non-stop air routes.Xiamen Air has ordered six Boeing 787 planes.The second one will be delivered in October and the other four are scheduled for delivery next year.Xiamen Air is the third airline company in China to introduce the Boeing 787, following China Southern and Hainan airlines.Xiamen Air currently has 106 planes.The new Boeing 787 will initially be used for domestic flights and later serve international routes, as the airline hopes to expand its international service.The new plane will first fly between Fuzhou and Beijing in September, and then fly to North America and Europe after approval.

第五篇：感恩節(jié)文章(英文)

Theology 2 D 11.17 Yuxuan Li Theology Newsletter for Thanksgiving/Advent

I’d like to spend the next few days focusing on Thanksgiving.That’s right, Thanksgiving.Yes, I know that the official American holiday falls on the fourth Thursday in November, not the third Monday.So, yes, I know that I’m a week early.But I’d like to begin to offer some thoughts on Thanksgiving, even though we won’t be sitting down to a Turkey dinner for another 240 hours or so.Why start a conversation about Thanksgiving now? I do not mean in any way to undermine the specialness of the traditional holiday.I think it’s great that the United States continues to set apart a day a year for giving thanks.And I think it’s doubly great that most of us still believe that Thanksgiving is a day for actually giving thanks to God, not just a time for feeling nebulously thankful while filling our faces with a Turkey dinner and watching football on TV.My hope is that by writing about Thanksgiving a week and a half early, I might actually enhance your celebration of Thanksgiving, not detract from it.Thus, today’s post will be the first of several on giving thanks.There is a danger, I believe, in identifying one day a year as Thanksgiving Day.It’s the danger of implying that thanks is due on this day, but not on others.We face a similar danger, for example, when we designate the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.Shouldn’t children honor their mothers more than once a year? Similarly, shouldn’t we be thankful more often than once a year on the fourth Thursday of November? As a Christian, I would argue that giving thanks to God is important because it honors God.I would also argue that Scripture calls for consistent gratitude among God’s people.But, there is also case for gratitude that doesn’t depend on biblical theology.In fact, it appeals to common sense and even self interest.To put the matter bluntly: Gratitude will improve your life.Gratitude magnifies our experience of the good things in life, enabling us to enjoy them more thoroughly.Gratitude also helps us to endure the hard things in life with dignity, perhaps even with humor.Gratitude is like savoring a fine meal, enjoy every bite, rather than racing through a meal as if it’s some sort of race.Let me offer a person example of what I’m talking about here.I was able to go to college because I received generous financial aid.My father had been unemployed for several years so our family resources were limited.Harvard expected me to earn a fair amount of money through working, both during the summers and the school years.I was also required to take out a reasonable loan.But the majority of my tuition, room, and board was covered by a grant from the school.This was not a merit-based scholarship, I might add.I’m not bragging here.Harvard’s assistance was based on financial need, of which I had plenty.
