隨著人們經(jīng)濟水平的提高,對于很多家庭來說,留學(xué)不再是一個可望而不可及的事情,許多人都想要留學(xué),那其中讓雅思寫作更簡潔完美的三個建議?針對這個問題,下面中國教育在線小編就來和大家分享一下。
然而,考試大雅思專家認為:一味地追求句子的長度有時反而會犧牲句子的可讀性,特別是對一些基礎(chǔ)一般的學(xué)生來說,有時生硬地追求長句反而破壞了句子的句法準確性。下面我們就來看一些例子,體會一些寫得并不成功的長句和如何修改的建議:
建議一: 避免空洞的單詞和詞組
1. 一些空洞的單詞或詞組根本不能為句子帶來任何相關(guān)的或重要的信息,完全可以被刪掉。比如下面的句子:
When all things are considered , young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
這句話當(dāng)中的“ when all things are considered ”和“ in my opinion “都顯得多余。完全可以去掉。改為:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2. 有些空洞和繁瑣的表達方式可以進行替換,例如:
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“ due to the fact that ”就是一個很典型的繁瑣的表達方式的例子,可以替換,簡化為下面的表達方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
建議二: 避免重復(fù)
1.盡量避免重復(fù)使用同樣的詞匯?;蛘哂械臅r候雖然詞匯沒有重復(fù),但意思卻有重復(fù)。這時候可以做一些簡化的工作。例如下面這個例子::
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size。
large 對一個farm來說就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改為:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large。
更簡潔的表達方式為:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm。
2.有時一個詞組可以用一個更簡單的單詞來替換,例如:
My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents farm。這里的over and over again就可以改為repeatedly,顯得更為簡潔:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents farm。
建議三:選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z法結(jié)構(gòu)
選擇合適的語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以使句子意思的.表達更為精確和簡練。雖然語法的多樣性也很重要,但選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z法結(jié)構(gòu)仍然是更為重要的考慮因素。以下原則是在考慮選擇何種語法結(jié)構(gòu)時可以參考的原則:
1.一個句子的主語和謂語動詞應(yīng)該能夠反映句子中的最重要的意思。例如:.
The situation that resulted in my grandfathers not being able to study engineering was thathis father needed help on the farm。
從意思上來分析,上面這句話需要表達的重要的概念是“grandfathers not being able to study”,而在表達這個概念時,原句用的主語是situation,謂語動詞是was,不能強調(diào)需要表達的重點概念,可以改為下面這句話:
My grandfather couldnt study engineering because his father needed help on the farm。
2.避免頻繁使用“there be”結(jié)構(gòu),例如下面的句子:
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard workfor my grandfather。
可以改為:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day。
更簡潔的句式為:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily。
3.把從句改為短語或單詞。例如:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearestuniversity and was in an area that was remote。
簡介的表達方式為:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university。
4.僅在需要強調(diào)賓語而不是主語的時候,才使用被動語態(tài)。例如:In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked
by my grandfathers family。
本句不夠簡潔的原因是本句的重心應(yīng)該是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfathers family”,而使用了被動語態(tài)后,仿佛重心變成了cows和hay。下面的表達方式是主動語態(tài),相對來說更簡潔一些:
In the fall, my grandfathers family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked thehay。
5.用更為精確的一個動詞來代替動詞短語,例如下面這句話:
My grandfather didnt have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends。Stand around doing nothing其實可以用一個動詞來表達,即loiter:
My grandfather didnt have time to loiter with his school friends。
6.有時兩句話的信息經(jīng)過組合完全可以用一句話來簡練地表達,例如:
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses ofrunning a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree。
兩句話的信息可以合并為下面這句更為簡潔的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone payfor a university degree。
