英语书面表达在高考中日益显得重要,高考书面表达已不只局限于把话说清楚,把意思表达完整,而是要给我们的句子润色,让我们的句子靓起来。如何让我们的英语句子靓起来呢?很多人都强调用连词、介词等词汇手段迅速提高语言水平。但这种方法需要一定的积累,也需要一定的基础。而我觉得通过对低级句型的改造,可以迅速达到这一目的。
◆强调句:可以轻松地将时间、地点、原因、方式等类型的状语从句转变为强调句。
It was not until I arrived home that I realized I had left the bag on the shop counter.
It was then that I realized the importance of English.
◆倒装句:只要句中有介词短语或状语从句,便可将其提前,变成倒装句。
only when I turned right at the crossing did that car crack towards me.
only by this means can he escape from the big fire.
◆with引导的伴随结构:可以将状语从句或并列句中的其中一个分句变成with结构。
With the sun lighting brightly and the birds singing clearly, I went to school in high spirits
He always likes to sleep with the windows open.
◆巧妙地使用非谓语动词:可以将状语从句或并列的动词简化为非谓语动词。
Hearing that, the driver’s wife quickly added that her husband often talked nonsense after drinking. (低级形式:When he heard that, ……)
◆恰到好处的被动句:适合应用于较简短的句子,这样显得语言简洁生动,宾语一般是nothing、anything、everything等不定代词。
Searched all my pockets, but nothing was found。
◆感叹句:通常用于开头结尾活跃文章气氛,凡是“I feel ……”之类表达感情的句子皆可如此改造。
How terrible I felt today! I failed again in the math exam.
◆高级定语从句:若定语从句中的动词带有介词,只需将介词移至先行词后。
We came to a place to which they had never paid a visit before.
