 HYPERLINK 美联英语提供：美联英语：四六级增强写作语句表现力的方法 　　纵观多年来国家四、六级英语作文考试，考生作文成绩欠佳的主要原因除了准确性和连贯性差之外，语句软弱无力也是不容忽略的一个方面。因此在英语写作教学中，如何增强语句表现力的问题必须引起我们足够的重视，以提高学生写作的表达质量。为此，笔者结合自己的写作教学实践，针对该项技能的训练提出了一些切实可行的有效做法，供广大同仁和者参考借鉴。 ? 　　一、避免使用语意弱的 be 动词。 ? 　　1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如： ? 　　Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. ? 　　Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. ? 　　2、将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如： ? 　　1) Weak: The team members are good players. ? 　　Revision: The team members play well. ? 　　2) Weak: One worker s plan is the elimination of tardiness. ? 　　Revision: One worker s plan eliminates tardiness. ? 　　3、在以 here 或 there 开头的句子中，把 be 动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如： ? 　　1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion. ? 　　Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists. ? 　　2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered. ? 　　Revision: The books you ordered have arrived. ? 　　二、多用语意具体的动词，保持句意简洁明了。例如： ? 　　1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk. ? 　　Better: My supervisor sauntered past my desk. ? 　　2、Poor: She is a careful shopper. ? 　　Better: She compares prices and quality. ? 　　三、尽量运用主动语态。例如： ? 　　1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity. ? 　　Better: Charity has supported the organization. ? 　　2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate. ? 　　Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate. ? 　　四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语。例如： ? 　　1、Wordy: My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk. ? 　　Improved: My little sister prefers chocolate milk. ? 　　2、Wordy: We are in receipt of your letter and intend to followyour recommendations. ? 　　Improved: We have received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation. ? 　　3、Redundant: We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire. ? 　　Improved: We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire. ? 　　4、Redundant: My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in different stores. ?
