1、避免使用反問句、設(shè)問句。特別是作者也沒有答案的問題。
例如: What’s the objective of the information? Is it to make people more confused and astray? I partly agree with the author’s contention that the enormous and otiose information sometimes render people lose their way and fail to consider question penetratingly and originally.
在作文的開頭就扔出兩個(gè)問題,然后接下來的陳述卻與問題基本毫無干系。作為讀者,首先要考慮那兩個(gè)問題的答案到底是什么,然后才能往下讀。這些在中文里可能會(huì)被評(píng)作“引人入勝”的好詞好句,在英語的論文寫作里面,可以說是最大的敗筆之一。如果你一定要問問題的話,那就改成陳述句式,例如:Whether this issue is right or wrong? 可以改成:It has been a controversial issue that.....
2、避免集中使用"Be"動(dòng)詞,包括is, are, has been, have been, etc.
即使GRE考題statement里面有很多"Be"動(dòng)詞,你也要避免照抄,因?yàn)閟tatement是淺顯地告訴你一個(gè)idea,而不是向你展示writing。
例如:What is the purpose of education? Some people may say that the purpose of education should be to create a totally academic environment that separates from the outside world, for, they think, this situation allows students to focus on their academic research work without being disturbed by practical concerns. In fact, this suggestion is harmful to the scientific research work.
這是某一篇文章的開頭。我們現(xiàn)在只是分析語法問題。作者除了要注意不要使用疑問句以外,還有很重要的一點(diǎn):總共兩三句話,出現(xiàn)4個(gè)"Be"動(dòng)詞。這種寫法,在英語里面被稱作"non-act"的動(dòng)詞。"Be" 僅僅表示一種狀態(tài),例如:"i am here", "you are there". 對(duì)于母語者來說,"Be"動(dòng)詞其實(shí)就是寫在紙上,而沒有任何感情色彩。所以應(yīng)該盡量避免成篇累牘地使用。我們的例子可以改為:
Some people argue that the purpose of education lies in its strength in creating a totally academic environment separated from the outside world. They think this situation allows students to focus on academic research by excluding outside disturbance from practical concerns. However, this suggestion in fact does harm to the scientific research work.
我們可以看到,使用了lie in, exclude, do harm to以后,句子更有色彩了。
