篇1:我的英文写作的经验举例分析

全文共 3306 字

+ 加入清单

一、英语写作的特点.

The characteristics of formal writing

1.名词化趋势

I do not eat much.-->I am a light eater.

The clock on the desk reminds me of time.-->I put a clock on the desk as a reminder of time.

We once cried, laughed and disappointed.-->There were moments of tears, moments of laughter, and moments of disappointment.

注意:名词化趋势的句子当然还有动词, 目的是尽量把表达句子中心意思的那个词汇用名词表达.符合英文的习惯.

2.无灵主语(区别于被动语态)

我们中文写作中,习惯以人做主语,而英文则相反,习惯以物做主格.

More and more young students studied further in the past two decades.

-->The past two decades witnessed a growing number of young students for further study.

Looking out of the window, you will have a nice view.

-->A glance out of the window offers you a nice view.

注意: 名词化趋势和无灵主语常常是相结合的.

3.被动语态

这一点大家比较熟悉,不详细讲.比如:

Great efforts should be made to…..

What can not be denied is that….

二、句式的写作:

Main features of English sentences:

1.长短句结合

Love is patient and kind. It is never jealous, boastful, proud or rude. It keeps no record of wrong that others do. It always protects, always fruits, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.

一般来讲,总结性的句子应当使用短句,而说理的句子应用长句.

2.并列复合句

这种句子属于十分难写的句子,也举一个例子:

He who wants to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for me will save it.

3.单一复合句

也就是我们常说的各种从句,不再举例.

三、Variety of sentences:

1. ”-ing & -ed” groups

e.g.

(1)Standing by the riverside, the Master sighed,” May time go on and on like this, never ceasing day and night.”

(2)Reviewing what one has learned and gaining new insights, one is fit to be a teacher.

(3)Compared with the tradition, modernity is more dynamic.

2. ”to do” groups

e.g.

To spend too much time in study is sloth; to use them too much for ornaments is affectation; to make any judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of the scholar.

3. adverb

Simply, amazingly, absurdly, broadly, practically and so on

e.g.

Intelligently applied to daily life, modern technology will surely bring benefits to the well-being of the human race.

4.介词短语

In pursuit of, in spite of (注意平时自己的收集)

e.g.

In pursuit of excellence, ever pushing up the limit, life consists in the hope born of despair.

5.主语从句

e.g.

What China needs is not more morals, but more prisons for politicians.

句子的变化还有 It is self-evident(adj) that…….和There be 这样的句子

6.倒装

(1)将一些否定性含义的副词和短语在句首,用倒装会使句子生色不少.

Never before has such a high standard been achieved.

Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.

(2)为使描绘更加生动,与介词同形的副词可以移动到句首,而把主语放到谓语后面去.

Following the roar, out rushed a tiger from the bushes.

In came a pretty girl he had never seen before.

四、插入语

插入语可以是一个小词,也可以是一个同谓语的形式.

1.先看一个小技巧:(对there be 句型均有效)

There is, recently, a debate amongst educators that……

通俗的讲,在老外眼里,主语与谓语离的越远,句子的档次越高.

2.插入语后面再接上一个定语从句;

Direct experience, a necessary means to recognize the world, which differs from knowledge acquired from books, is a major step to the cognitive world.

再看几个同谓语从句的例子:

1.Television, one of the most pervasive and persuasive technologies, marked by the rapid growth and drastic change, has a profound impact on people’s lives.

2.Courage, a basic quality that every human being is supposed to possess when facing a dilemma, is highly cherished among young people.

3. Convention, generally accepted practice especially with regard to social behavior, has now been increasingly challenged.

平时要多积累这样的句型,使之变成自己的语言.

Tip:对同谓语的解释尽量宽泛一些,有利于句子的拉长.

对于入语加定语从句开头.

就是说:将题目中的中心词拿出来,进行宽泛的解释.

这一方法对很大一部分的考题都是有效的.

以上就是我的一点总结,希望对大家会有所帮助.

With human beings on Earth since then, we continue to evolve at the same time has been hurt those lovely animals. They did not at fault, they are only in accordance with the laws of nature live in peace. But since the existence of mankind , their homes become increasingly small. Some animals have even become extinct.

In the extinction of animal, the thylacine is the worst. Thylacine in a long time ago to live in the vast prairie, they have been very happy, carefree. Since the arrival of human beings have changed their lives. Due to the large number of human enclosure, livestock grass makes less and less change to many herbivores to move to other grasslands. This herbivorous animals to eat the wolf bag, there is no food. They steal human animals. Farmers would hate the wolf from the bag, see a killing one, on this last one wild thylacine was also killed. When people should be aware of extinct thylacine, the protection of the park began last a thylacine, it thylacine only 48 days before the final days. And 48 days later, the Forever thylacine disappeared from the Earth, the Forever!

Of course, not all animals are extinct human killing, some changes in the environment are not suited extinction. However, the extinction of some animals, human beings have an unshirkable responsibility. Since ancient

times human beings have been cruel to those animals alone, human deprivation of their right to live.

Now seems to have been aware of the extinction of an animal hazards. In order to make money, what people are willing to do so, they sell fur animals, shopping malls, the meat of animals sold to restaurants. But we can not shirk all responsibility to the heads of traders, consumers also have the responsibility, if there is no consumer demand then the traders will not take the risk. Human beings are still eating wild animals. For example: the snake. If the extinction of the snakes, rats would wantonly breeding, then how do we ... ...

So each has its biological significance of the existence, they are in the natural law of survival. If a broken food chain, then another will wantonly breeding animals, and even a threat to humanity, we bear in mind the

protection of animals. The protection of animals is to protect human beings themselves!

参考译文:

自从地球上有了人类以后,我们在不断地发展进化的同时也在不断的伤害着那些可爱的动物们.他们没有过错,他们只是根据自然界的法则和平的生活着.可是自从有了人类的存在,他们的家园变的越来越小.有些动物甚至已经灭绝了.

在灭绝的动物里,袋狼算是最惨的了。在很久以前袋狼生活在广阔的大草原上,它们过的很快活,无忧无虑。自从人类的到来改变了它们的生活。由于人类的大量圈地,饲养牲畜使得绿草变地越来越少,许多食草动物迁徙到别的草原上。这样以草食性动物为食的袋狼就没有了食物。它们便去偷人类饲养的动物。农场主便痛恨起了袋狼,见一个杀一个,就这样最后一只野生袋狼也被杀死了。当人们意识到袋狼就要灭绝时,才开始保护公园里的最后一只袋狼,这只袋狼才过了最后48天的好日子。而48天后,袋狼永远的从地球上消失了,永远的!

当然不是所有灭绝的动物都是人类杀死,有的是不适应环境的变化而灭绝的.但是某些动物的灭绝,人类有着不可推卸的责任。人类自古以来就一直残忍地对待着那些动物们,人类剥夺了它们生活的权利.

现在人们似乎还没有意识到一种动物的灭绝的危害。为了赚钱人什么都愿意做,他们把动物的皮毛卖到商场,把动物的肉卖到餐馆。但是我们不能把一切责任都推卸到商贩的头上,消费者也有责任,如果没有消费者的需求那么商贩也不会铤而走险。人类还在吃着野生动物。比如:蛇。如果蛇灭绝了,老鼠会大肆繁殖,到那时候我们该怎么办……

因此每一种生物都有它存在的意义,它们都在以自然的法则生存。如果生物链的一头断了,那么另一种动物就会大肆繁殖,甚至威胁到人类,大家记住保护动物。保护动物就是保护人类自己!

What an amazing and moving story. That movie teaches you so much about life and the meaning of it. That life isnt as bad as most people feel. Forrest Gump, the innocent man can impact so many lives with his innocence. The meaning of the movie to me is that everyone needs to have a better outlook on life. That we need to appreciate more of the little things and not let the big things hold us back. Although life may throw us trials and tribulations like a box of chocolates, we just have to bite into it and get through it even if we dont like it. I just love this movie.

篇17:同情心英文作文

全文共 3918 字

Weve all heard the quote, Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we arent careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.

Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery.

In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.

The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.

I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient.

The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how shes feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little empathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain.

The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident.

She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.

Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so stand-offish with me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.

We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.

We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.

This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being an empathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being empathetic meant.

To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.

The cashier checking me out at the grocery store who seemed rude and in a hurry? Who knows what was going on in his day, week, life? Maybe he recently lost a spouse or a child. Maybe he has experienced compounded losses. I had no way of knowing what this man was going through. Who was I to judge him?

I am a 15-year-old student in junior Grade 3. Though I am occupied with my

study, I would like to spend time on my hobbies, such as playing the piano,

surfing the Internet.

One of my favorite hobbies is reading. Reading has been in my life for many

years, since I began to learn characters. It can not only kill the time, but

also, more important, help improve my comprehension ability. When reading, I can

learn a lot. Reading Shakespears works, I know how Hamlet looks like. Reading

Socrates, I can see how great ancient Greek philosophers are. Reading Lu Xun, I
