一、以下四種手段是增加句子復(fù)雜性的常見方法,也是得高分的“亮點”。
1.改變句子的開頭方式,不要一味地都是主語開頭,接著是謂語、賓語,最后再加一個狀語。可以把狀語置于句首,或用分詞做狀語等。
[原文]we met at the school gate and went there together early in the morning.
[修正]early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.
[原文]the young man couldn't help crying when he heard the bad news.
[修正]hearing the bad news,the young man couldn't help crying.
2.在整篇文章中,避免只使用一兩個句式,要靈活運用諸如倒裝句、強調(diào)句、主從復(fù)合句、分詞狀語等。
①強調(diào)句
[原文]my parents praised ah fu warmly. it had saved my little sister bravely.
[修正]my parents praised ah fu warmly. it was our brave ah fu who had saved my little sister bravely.
②由what等引導(dǎo)的從句,此處的what相當(dāng)于中文的“所……”,有很大的概括力,如:
[原文]we had to stand there to catch the offender.
[修正]what we had to do was (to) stand there, trying to catch the offender.
what china has achieved in recent years is known through the world.
china is no longer what it used to be.
③由with或without引導(dǎo)的短語。如:
he sat in a chair with a newspaper in the hand.
④分詞短語。如:
satisfied with the result, he decided to go on with a new experiment.
⑤倒裝句。如:
only in this way can we achieve our goal.
never before have i seen such a wonderful film.
⑥省略句。如:
if so, victory will be ours.
you can make some changes wherever necessary.
⑦對比,這是中文中也常用的方法。如:
failure is not a crime, but failure to learn from failure is.
when i play, i feel excited, and after it i feel relaxed.
3.通過分句和合句,增強句子的連貫性和表現(xiàn)力。
[原文]he stopped us half an hour ago. he made us catch the next offender.
[修正]he stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.
[原文]we had a short rest. then we began to play happily. we sang and danced.
some told stories. some played chess.
[修正]after a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing,telling jokes and playing chess.
4.學(xué)會使用過渡詞。如:
①遞進: then(然后), besides(還有), furthermore(而且), moreover(此外)等。
②轉(zhuǎn)折: however(然而), but(但是), on the country(相反), after all(畢竟)等。
③總結(jié): finally(最后), at last(最后), in brief(總之), in conclusion(最后)等。
④強調(diào): indeed(確實), certainly(一定), surely(確定), above all(尤其)等。
⑤對比: in the same way(同樣地), just as(正如), on the one hand…on the other hand(一方面……另一方面……)等。
5.注意使用不同長度的句子。
二、對于“較復(fù)雜的詞匯”,可以從以下幾個方面著手。
1.注意使用詞組、習(xí)語來代替一些單詞,以增加文采。如:
[原文]a new railway is being built in my hometown.
[修正]a new railway is under construction in my hometown.
2.使用一些很有“洋味”的單詞。如:
thank you for sharing the time with us.
the way he views the world is very practical.
3.避免重復(fù)使用某一單詞或短語。如:
[原文]i like reading while my brother likes watching television.
[修正]i like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.
