一.變換主語改變表達句式
例1:她按時到校上學。動態(tài)句:She attends school regularly.靜態(tài)句:Her attendance at school is regular.例2:他擁有一所房子。動態(tài)句:He possesses a house.靜態(tài)句:He is in possession of a house.技巧小結(jié):中文習慣動詞占優(yōu)勢,但是英語里面靜態(tài)詞匯(名詞、介詞、副詞、形容詞等)占優(yōu)勢。所以在寫作時同學們應該考慮英語句子靜態(tài)特征的表達。
二.用抽象名詞做主語
例3:她的樸素衣著使他顯得更美。具體句:Her simple dress adds to her beauty.抽象句:The simplicity of her dress adds to her beauty.例4:溫暖的房間使我昏昏欲睡。具體句:The warm room made me sleepy.抽象句:The warmth of the room made me sleepy.技巧小結(jié):中文表達重具體,英文表達重抽象。
三.主被動變換
例5: 我永遠忘不了這個教訓。人稱主語:I will never forget the lesson.物稱主語:The lesson will be rooted in my memory forever.例6: 不同的團隊成員對工作有不同的態(tài)度。人稱主語:Different team members have different attitudes towards work.物稱主語:Attitudes towards work vary from person to person.技巧小結(jié):英語主語常用人稱和物稱兩種形式表達。物稱主語注重“什么事發(fā)生在什么人身上”,人稱主語側(cè)重“什么人怎么樣”。
It is / was + 被強調(diào)的某個句子成分+ that / who + 句子。強調(diào)句型可以用來強調(diào)句子中除了謂語之外的成分,起到比較明顯的加強語氣的作用,比如:I went to the Palace Museum in 1997.這個句子如果強調(diào)時間,就可以變?yōu)椋篒t was in 1997 that I went to the Palace Museum.如果直接運用,句子也沒有顯得特別出彩,如果同學們可以用強調(diào)句型和其它從句一起使用,就會起來比較好提升作用:比如我們探討“人口老齡化”的問題,想表達“老齡化日益嚴重的問題讓全球的政府都很擔擾”,可以寫為:It is the fact that the population aging problem is getting more and more prevalent that makes all the governments concern all over the world.上面句子里面的the population aging problem is getting more and more prevalent是fact的同位語從句。
