英語寫作:好的段落
在平平淡淡的日常中,大家一定都接觸過一些使用較為普遍的段落吧,段落是文章中最基本的單位。內容上它具有一個相對完整的意思;在文章中,段具有換行的標。那么什么樣的段落才是好的段落呢?下面是小編幫大家整理的英語寫作:好的段落,僅供參考,歡迎大家閱讀。
1.完整
完整是就段落中心的內容而言。為了使一個段落的內容完整,它所有的句子必須都圍繞著一個中心主題進行敘述。中心主題往往由一中心句點出,即所謂的主題句。主題句或中心句可置于段首,也可置于段中或段末。請看下面的例子:
One of the central preoccupations of the arts and humanities is the observation of human beings. Painters and sculptors create images of the human form; writers tell stories or compose poems about human experience; musical artists give melodic contours to the human spirit; historians and philosophers ponder the essential qualities of human civilization and nature. And in our own lives, in our own ways, we spend a great deal of our energy and attention on our fellow creatures, being in families and other kinds of relationship, observing people with curiosity and interest in the course of the day, thinking about and forming our own character-deciding what kind of person we wish to be-as we grow.
-- Don Knefel
2.連貫 連貫是指段落的結構是否有條理。一個段落中的句子應該條理清晰,層次分明,銜接自然流暢。只有做到這些,讀者才能跟上作者的思路,明白他要講的意思。
3.過渡
在一個段落里,即使所有的句子意思都清楚并且邏輯順序排列正確,但是如果缺乏句與句之間恰當的過渡,整個段落的連貫性仍會受到影響。
以下幾種方法可以用來加強句與句之間的連貫性:
(1)使用平行結構;
(2)重復一個詞或一個詞組;
(3)在復指上一句提到的名詞時使用代詞;
(4)段落中名詞和代詞的人稱和數量保持一致;動詞時態也須保持一致。
(5)使用過渡詞語:
1)用于按空間展開的段落之中的連接詞和過渡詞有:
above; before me; here; on the left; across from; below; in the distance; on the right; adjacent to; beyond; nearby; opposite to
2)用于按時間順序展開的段落之中的連接詞和過渡詞有:
first, second, etc. ; soon; eventually; in the meantime; then; thereupon; at the same time; next; thereafter
3)用于按分析法展開的段落之中的連接詞和過渡詞有:
first, second, etc. ; now; for the first time; but; as a result; furthermore; finally; at last; moreover
4)用于按比較法展開的段落之中的連接詞和過渡詞有:
another; furthermore; moreover; equally important; too, also; at the same time; besides; then; accordingly
5)用于按對比法展開的段落之中的連接詞和過渡詞有:
on the contrary; different from/ in contrast; on the other hand; to; despite; in spite of; unlike; nevertheless
這期的作業:
1. 下面列出的是一個中心句和九個有關的句子。把句子按最佳順序重新排列,并據此寫出一段話。中心句應為該段的首句:
中心句: Since I began living in an apartment and going to school, my biggest problem has been the housework.
1.Cooking my food is a bigger problem.
2.The worst problem is doing my laundry.
3.Cleaning the apartment is not too bad; although it takes time away from my studies; at least when I finish the apartment looks nice.
4.Sometimes the food is burned, sometimes it is not cooked enough, and sometimes I have not measured correctly, so the food tastes terrible.
5.Shopping for my food is more difficult because I don't know the English names of many foods, and often I have to spend extra time asking for help.
6.The laundromat is far from my apartment, and I waste much valuable time.
7.I have never had to cook before, and usually the results are discouraging.
8.Mostly I am embarrassed as I sit in the laundromat with all the women, and so I wait until all my clothes are dirty before I do this horrible task.
9.I also have trouble with the complicated instructions, so occasionally I end up with pink socks or a shirt that is too small.
Today's Recommend:
請看下面的段落,注意作者是如何使用以上四種方法寫出了一個內容連貫、生動流暢的段落的。
Americans are queer people: they can't play. Americans rush to work as soon as they grow up. They want their work as soon as they wake. It is a stimulant-the only one they are not afraid of. They used to open their offices at ten o'clock; then at nine; then at eight; then at seven. Now they never shut them. Every business in America is turning into an open-all-day-and-night business. They eat all night, dance all night, build buildings all night, make a noise all night. They can't play. They try to, but can't. They turn football into a fight, baseball into a lawsuit, and yachting into machinery. They can't play. The little children can't play; they use mechanical toys instead-toy cranes, hoisting toy loads, toy machinery spreading a toy industrial depression of infantile dullness. The grownup people can't play; they use a mechanical gymnasium and a clockwork horse. They can't laugh; they hire a comedian and watch him laugh.
--Stephen Leacock
