五、多實(shí)少虛原則

寫文章還是應(yīng)該寫一些實(shí)際的東西,不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實(shí)詞,少用虛詞。

比如表示“很好”,不應(yīng)該之說“nice”這樣空洞的詞,應(yīng)該使用一些諸如:generous、humorous、interesting, smart、gentle、warm-hearted、hospitable 之類的形象詞。

再比如: 走出房間,直譯是:walk out of the room;但是小偷走出房間應(yīng)該說:slip out of the room;小姐走出房間應(yīng)該說:sail out of the room;小孩走出房間應(yīng)該說:dance out of the room;老人走出房間應(yīng)該說:stagger out of the room。所以多用實(shí)詞,少用虛詞,文章將會大放異彩!

六、 多變句式原則。

1) 加法(串聯(lián)):最保險的寫長句的方法就是“串聯(lián)”,可以在任何句子之間加“and”, 但最好是前后的句子又先后關(guān)系或者并列關(guān)系。此外,其它短語可以用:besides、furthermore、likewise、moreover

2)轉(zhuǎn)折(拐彎抹角):批評某人缺點(diǎn)的時候,我們總習(xí)慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優(yōu)點(diǎn),然后轉(zhuǎn)入正題,相關(guān)短語:despite that、still、however、nevertheless、in spite of、despite、notwithstanding

3)因果(so, so, so):因果短語:then、therefore、consequently、accordingly、hence、as a result、for this reason、so that

4)失衡句(頭重腳輕):其實(shí)就是主語從句,表語從句,賓語從句的變形。舉例:This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同樣主語、賓語、表語可以改成如下的復(fù)雜成分:When to go、Why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一舉):定語從句和同位語從句或者是插入語:The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don't enjoy that book you are reading. Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going. 其實(shí)很簡單,同位語——要解釋的東西刪除后不影響整個句子的構(gòu)成;定語從句—借用之前的關(guān)鍵詞并且用其重新組成一個句子插入其中,但是whom or that 關(guān)鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句):文學(xué)作品中最吸引人的地方莫過于此,如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話,引用一個個的排比句,一個個得對偶句,一個個的不定式,一個個地詞,一個個的短語,如此表達(dá)將會使文章有排山倒海之勢:Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. 要想寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
