距離今年的四級考試僅剩下三個月的時間了,英語不好的人一定要提前開始備考,尤其是作文方面,是需要積累的。今天我們就為大家整理了大學(xué)英語四級作文之句子寫作,一起來看一下吧。

  我們在前面曾提過學(xué)生的作文主要有以下幾個方面的問題:

  第一、英語底子太薄。

  第二、詞匯量太小,且對已學(xué)詞匯記憶不清。

  第三、表達思想不清楚。 下面我們以考生的實際作文來進行一下分析。

  1) Some one consider that fresh water will not touch it's end.(96年1月,2分)

  2) One man's life lack of money, he will impossible to live on. (95年1月,5分)

  3) As is know, that there are much fake commodities in today's society.(97年12月,6分)

  這里引述的例句與考生通篇作文的寫作水平是一致的,其中5、6分的例句具有典型性,代表了近乎中等水平考生的寫作水平。從這些例句中不難看出,中等水平的考生,事實上也包括中上等水平的考生,在寫作上存在的主要問題是表達思想不清楚。

  表達思想不清楚的主要原因是考生作文中嚴(yán)重漢化的英語,即中式英語,比如: "man can live happiness", "Man is iron, and food is steel.", "Women are half side sky."。此外,語言錯誤的普遍性和嚴(yán)重性十分驚人,比如,主謂不一致,名詞單復(fù)數(shù)不分,動詞時態(tài)語態(tài)濫用,常用詞拼寫錯誤比比皆是。這些嚴(yán)重地影響了思想的表達。考試實踐表明,多數(shù)考生在寫作上的主要欠缺不是系統(tǒng)的寫作理論和方法,而是最基本的單句寫作能力。

  文章無論長短,都是由句子組成的,句子是表達思想的最基本的單位。因此,句子是否能寫得正確、達意和清楚,將直接影響整篇文章的寫作質(zhì)量。大學(xué)英語四、六級考試和研究生入學(xué)英語考試的實踐都表明,考生寫作成績長期得不到明顯提高的主要原因是欠缺寫好單句的能力。

  為改變這種狀況,我們將從剖析考生作文中的典型病句入手,對寫作測試中的基本句子結(jié)構(gòu)和寫法進行評議和分析,來幫助考生進一步提高句子寫作能力。

  一、 "There be"結(jié)構(gòu)

  考生病句:

  There are many people like to go to the movies.

  2. There are different kinds of vegetables can be bought on the market by people.

  正確表達:

  There are many people who like to go to the movies.

  2. There are different kinds of vegetables that people can buy on the market.

  這兩個例句的錯誤比較有普遍性,因為在歷次考試中有不少考生不能正確運用there be這一最常用的句式。在這種結(jié)構(gòu)中,there是引導(dǎo)詞,沒有實際意義。be在句中作謂語,有時態(tài)和數(shù)的變化。

  例如:

  There was no school in the village at that time. (=there was not a school……)

  注意:在否定句中,否定詞用no,也可用not a或not a后接單數(shù)名詞,not a 后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞,no后面的名詞單復(fù)數(shù)都可以。

  2. There is not a moment to be lost.

  3. There are many people rushing into the cities every year.

  4. There are many things we can do to prevent traffic accidents.

  5. There is no use holding back the wheel of history.

  從以上例句還可看出,句中的主語后面可接多種修飾語,如介詞短語、不定式短語、定語從句、分詞短語等等。這無疑使該結(jié)構(gòu)增加了表現(xiàn)力,使句子表達內(nèi)容更加豐富。 在運用這一結(jié)構(gòu)時,考生最容易犯的錯誤是在there be之后又用了一個動詞作謂語,使句子結(jié)構(gòu)出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重錯誤。這里列舉的考生的典型錯誤均屬這種情況,對此我們在寫作中要格外注意。

  二、 比較結(jié)構(gòu)

  考生病句:

  Comparing with the bike, the car runs much faster.

  2. The climate in Walton is colder than other cities.

  正確表達:

  Compared with the bike, the car runs much faster.

  2. The climate in Walton is colder than that of other cities.

  評議與分析:許多考生在作文中用compare或than表示比較,但相當(dāng)多的表達有誤。

  在例1中,對兩個事物進行比較的句式為Compared with A, B……,只能用compare的過去分詞,不能用現(xiàn)在分詞,因為B是分詞的邏輯主語,只能被比較。在例2中,考生誤將"天氣"與"城市"進行比較,而二者沒有可比性,只有將后者改為"其他城市的天氣"才符合邏輯,很顯然,考生的錯誤是受了漢語表達習(xí)慣的影響。

  比較結(jié)構(gòu)是常用結(jié)構(gòu),正確地使用這一結(jié)構(gòu)可以使文章的句式增加變化,有利于提高寫作成績。一般說來,考生若能恰當(dāng)、正確地運用這一結(jié)構(gòu),其寫作成績應(yīng)在5分以上。

  下面是比較結(jié)構(gòu)的一些常用的表達方法。

  同級比較

  1) In 1998 we produced as many cars as we did in the previous five years.

  2) We have accomplished as much in the past three years as would have taken ten years in the past.

  2. 比較級

  1) Children now enjoy better medical treatment than before.

  2) We can live longer without food than we can (live ) without water.

  三、 表達原因的結(jié)構(gòu)

  考生病句:

  The real reason to our failure is not far to seek.

  2. The reason for this is because some people want to earn plenty of money without working hard.

  正確表達:

  The real reason for our failure is not far to seek.

  2. The reason for this is that some people want to earn plenty of money without working hard.

  評議與分析:

  以上兩個病句分別引自92年1月和97年12月四級考試的考生作文。從遣詞造句上看,這兩位考生具有一定的寫作能力,not far to seek, plenty of money以及without working hard等均運用正確、恰當(dāng)。但令人遺憾的是,第一位考生不知道reason不與to搭配而應(yīng)接介詞for,第二位考生犯了一個中國學(xué)生常犯的錯誤,就是用because引起表語從句,because這個詞不能引起表語從句,在本句中只能改用that才正確。

  掌握好表達原因的結(jié)構(gòu)是十分重要的,幾乎所有的寫作試題都要求寫原因或可以寫原因。在大學(xué)英語四、六級考試、研究生入學(xué)英語考試以及TOEFL考試中,寫作的文體基本上是議論文,而議論文的基本模式是擺事實、講道理,講道理就是說明原因。寫作測試的文體決定了表達原因結(jié)構(gòu)的重要性。

  英語中用來表達原因這一概念的結(jié)構(gòu)有多種。我們可用as , because, since, seeing that, considering that, now that, not that……等詞組引出表示原因的從句。例如:

  Now that we have seen these great achievements with our own eyes, we feel more proud than ever of our country.

  2. Professor Liu is strict with us because he wants us to make rapid progress.

  3. Since we live near the sea, we enjoy a healthy climate.

  4. Pollution is still a serious problem, not that we don't have the ability to solve it, but that some people have not realized the consequences of the problem.

  我們還可以借助某些詞語用簡單句表達原因結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:

  The reason for this change is quite obvious.

  2. Diligence is the key factor of success.

  3. Idleness is the root of all evils.

  4. He was ashamed to have made the mistake.(=He was ashamed that he had made the mistake. =He was ashamed because he had made the mistake.)

  除了上述的例句外,英語中還有很多或易或難的表達原因的結(jié)構(gòu)。我們在進行寫作訓(xùn)練的時候,不能滿足于一知半解,要講究書面語言的正確性和準(zhǔn)確性。比如,because是最常用的引導(dǎo)原因從句的連詞,語氣最強,表示直接的原因,若because置于句首,后面的主句不能再用so.用as引導(dǎo)的原因從句語氣較弱,所說明的原因是附帶的,而since表示的原因暗示著是稍加分析之后才能推斷出來的原因。

  四、 否定結(jié)構(gòu)

  考生病句

  Some people think we needn't to worry about fresh water.

  2. Nowadays many people don't like to go to the movies, too.

  正確表達:

  Some people think we needn't worry (或don't need to worry) about fresh water.

  2. Nowadays many people don't like to go to the movies, either.

  評議與分析:

  例句1選自96年1月四級考生作文,例句2選自92年1月六級考生作文。例句1 的錯誤在于該考生混淆了need作為情態(tài)動詞和作為普通動詞的用法。

  need作為情態(tài)動詞時,主要用于否定句,后面的動詞不帶to, needn't worry,作we的謂語。need作為實意動詞時,可用于肯定句、否定句和疑問句,don't need to worry 中的to worry作don't need的賓語。例句2的錯誤在于該考生混淆了too和either的區(qū)別,這兩個詞都表示"也"的意思,但是在英語中too, also只能用于肯定句,而either只能用于否定句。

  否定結(jié)構(gòu)除了在助動詞、情態(tài)動詞,be和have后面加not之外,還有許多不含not的否定結(jié)構(gòu)。若能正確使用他們,文章會顯得生動活潑,增加寫作的閃光點。下面我們就來看看:

  含有否定意義的詞匯和短語

  以下列舉的詞和詞組本身就具有否定的含義,因此無需用否定詞。

  介詞against, beyond, but, except, without,……

  形容詞和動詞absent, deny, differ, different, fail, free, ignore, miss, refuse, the last, used to, reluctant, lack, want,……

  短語keep……from, protect……from, prevent……from, let alone, at a loss, in vain, instead of, out of the question, rather than, too……to, by no means, anything but,……

  我們看以下例句:

  1) Women fail to get the equal rights in some countries.

  在一些國家里婦女沒有得到平等的權(quán)利。

  2) This is by no means the best way to solve the problem of energy crisis.

  這不是解決能源危機的最好的辦法。

  3) We should protect trees from being destroyed.

  我們應(yīng)保護樹木,不讓它們受破壞。

  4) In old China we could not make a nail, let alone(make) machines.

  在舊中國,我們連一個釘子都造不了,更不用說制造機器了。

  2. 含有半否定意義的詞語

  barely, hardly, few, little, rarely, scarcely, seldom, not all, not everyone, not everything,……具有半否定的意義。例句:

  1) We could hardly see any fresh vegetables in winter on market several years ago.

  幾年前在冬天市場上很難見到新鮮蔬菜。

  2) These young people know little about how to choose good books to read.

  這些年輕人幾乎不知道如何挑選優(yōu)秀的書籍來讀。

  3. 不含否定意義的否定結(jié)構(gòu)

  有些詞和詞組形式上是否定結(jié)構(gòu),但其含義是肯定的,比如:cannot but, can't help, no sooner……than, not……until, in no time, none other than, nothing but,等等。例句:

  1) We can't but face the reality.

  我們只有面對現(xiàn)實。

  2) These old buildings will be replaced by modern apartment buildings in no time.

  這些舊建筑將很快為現(xiàn)代化的公寓所代替。

  4. 否定結(jié)構(gòu)的倒裝語序

  我們有時為了強調(diào)而把否定詞和詞組放在句首,這時句子結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)倒裝。例如:

  1) On no account should we follow blindly.我們決不應(yīng)當(dāng)盲從。

  2) No where has the world ever seen such great enthusiasm for learning as in our country.沒有任何其他地方有我國這樣高的學(xué)習(xí)熱情。

  五、 含有it的結(jié)構(gòu)

  考生病句:

  As is known to all of us that science and technology play an important role in the

  development of society.

  2. It is known to us, practice makes perfect.

  正確表達:

  It is known to all of us that science and technology play an important role in the

  development of society. (或:As is known to all of us, science……)

  2. It is known to us that practice makes perfect. (或:As is known to us, practice……)

  評議與分析:

  例句1是93年12月六級考試11分作文的評分樣卷句子,例句2選自97年1月四級考試作文。很顯然,兩個考生混淆了it和as的用法。如果用it作形式主語,后面的主語從句必須由that引起;如果用as,則后面不能用that,因為as是關(guān)系代詞,代表practice makes perfect.

  It 在英語中是個相當(dāng)活躍的代詞,在寫作中我們常要使用它。以下幾種用法應(yīng)熟練掌握,并能靈活運用。

  作形式主語

  It is necessary for us to master a foreign language skillfully. It makes difference whether

  we could purify the air or not.

  2.作形式賓語

  We find it rather difficult to prevent people from doing that. Modern science has made it

  possible for babies to grow healthily and for people to live longer.

  3.引導(dǎo)強調(diào)句

  It is only by this way that we can achieve success. It was then that people began to realize

  the importance of controlling population.

  從語法結(jié)構(gòu)來看,上述的句子都不難,或者可以說是考生相當(dāng)熟悉的。然而在寫作考試中,多數(shù)考生缺乏運用自己已掌握的句式的意識,而以自己頭腦中拼湊的中式英語取而代之。其實,只要能恰當(dāng)?shù)剡\用上述的任何一個句式,考生的作文就會出現(xiàn)閃光點,就會取得比較好的成績。

  以上就是為大家整理的大學(xué)英語四級作文之句子寫作的相關(guān)內(nèi)容,希望能夠?qū)Υ蠹矣兴鶐椭K募壍臅r間比較緊張,有的人甚至來不及寫作文,這就影響了成績,掌握了好的句子,寫起來也會快一點。
