篇4: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.

Dear Mr. Seaton,

Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to

London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other

famous sights. If Id gone alone, I couldnt have seen nearly as much, because I

wouldnt have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still

remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.

During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the

afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive

for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to

Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never

forget.

Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

篇10:贴春联的由来英文

spring couplets, a chinese new year decoration, are an integral part of chinas new year. their beginnings go back as far as the origins of new years festivities.

春联,是中国新年的装饰,没有春联,春节就不完整。春联的来历就要说到新年的来历

according to legends in the chinas ancient past there was a monster known as nian who often came down from the mountains to eat livestock and locals. it was discovered that he was afraid of the color red and so red paper was placed around doors and windows of houses and poems for good luck were added to them. the houses with the red paper were avoided by the monster, so its inhabitants were spared. the tradition has continued until today.

根据中国古代历史传说中记载,有一个叫“年的”怪物经常从山上到村子里吃牲畜。后来人们发现这个怪物怕洪泽,所以就在门上,窗户上贴红纸,红纸上面还写一些增加转运的诗。这样,怪兽害怕贴满红纸的屋子,所以这个风俗被流传了下来,一直直到今天。

couplets are traditionally painted with black ink on two pieces of red paper which is then hung on either side of a door.

对联传统的来讲是用黑墨在两张红纸上写字,然后贴在门的两侧。

one half is hung on either side. there is an extra piece of paper painted with words of prosperity hung above the door frame. traditionally the couplets are poems consisting of two lines of either four or five characters. they are painted from top to bottom, right to left.

一边贴张。另外还有一个横批写着意味繁荣之意之字贴在门框的上方。传统的对联,上联合下联是4个或5个字,是一对诗。写对联一般是从上到下,从右到左。

different couplets have different themes. for farmers the couplets are meant to bring bounty to them, whereas businessmens couplets are meant to bring money. traditionally scholars would paint couplets and give them to their friends, relatives, and the public. many people choose to create their own couplets. many times door god or the character "fu"is added to doors along with the couplets.

不同的对联有不同的主题。比如,给农民的对联是带来好收成,商人挣跟多钱。传统学者会自己写对联赠予朋友或亲人。许多人会自己设计属于自己的对联。门神和福字一般都是和对联配套的贴在门上的。

21 June 2006

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.

Useful Expressions:

Here are some instructions and suggestions.

May I suggest that we meet at the gate of the university?

Id like to suggest you should visit London for at least two days on your way to Scotland.

Considering your present situation, I propose that you should apply for the post.

What I want to suggest is ...

My suggestion is that. . .

If you. .. , you had better. . .

篇17:享受英文,悦读原著

全文共 628 字

据说,在英语流行开来的时候,许多欧洲人纷纷开始学习。目的很明确:读英语小说原文。一方面,这是一种审美的需求,另一方面,这也是社会阶层的划分依据:从此,身边的人分为两种,即能读英语小说原著的,和不能用英语阅读小说的人。在这样的目的驱使下,可想而知学习效率会如何之高。

最近在学习英国文学史,下载了海量的英美小说和诗歌。可以这么说,不读小说,不知英文的精妙,不读诗歌,不知英文的优雅与靓丽。

当下国人学习英语的目标,个人认为,不是纯粹的审美层面的。或是为了高考、大学英语四六级之类的等级考试,或是为了留学考试。真正静下心来,读一首英文诗歌,或许你会爱上英文的。

可以说,我的英语学习是为“雪耻”,小学的时候英语考试睁眼瞎,题都读不懂。到了初中,凭借优秀的语文和数学成绩,进入了英语实验班——是的,有一些滑稽。于是,在老师的悉心、严格的教学下,在我的努力下,英语终于按部就班地提高起来。中考英语以146分位居年级第一,进入了理想的直升班。

现在回想起来,简单的动机,为我打下了坚实的英语基础。当时,最开心的事情,就是每周的英语考试,可以读到新鲜热辣的时文。

不过,与那些英语原版世界名著相比,英语说明文就显得黯然失色了。当然,那些来自于《时代》周刊的英文消息,是很值得玩味的。至今记得那篇略显晦涩的对乔伊斯《尤利西斯》的报道。

今天,又窝在家里听英国文学史,打开一本诗集,顿时沉醉其中。

如果,能够以审美的维度,重新审视英语学习,我想,大家对英语学习的兴致,大概会浓厚很多了。

篇19:星星英文

If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summer‘s day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense overhead,and when looking high up in a direction opposite to the sun。

晴空万里的夏日,如果我们观察一下天空,且背向太阳,极目仰望,就会发现头顶上空的蓝色最纯净,最浓郁。

Near the horizon it is always less bright,while in the region immediately around the sun it is more or less yellow. The reason of this is that near the horizon we look through a very great thickness of the lower atmosphere,which is full of the larger dust particles reflecting white light,and this diluter the pure blue of the higher atmosphere seen beyond,and in the vicinity of the sun a good deal of the blue light is reflected back into space by the finer dust,thus giving a yellowish tinge to that which reaches us reflected chiefly from the coarse dust of the lower atmosphere。

靠近天边,色彩往往较暗淡,太阳周围的地方则略呈黄色。这是因为我们向天边望去时,目光要穿过极厚的低空大气层,其中布满颗粒较大的尘埃,反射出白光,这就冲淡了天际高空大气层的纯蓝色。在太阳附近,大 量蓝光则由细微的尘埃反射回太空。这样,主要由低空大气层的粗粒尘埃反射到地面的光线,便带有浅黄色。

At sunset and sunrise,however,this last effect is greatly intensified,owing to the great thickness of the strata of air through which the light reaches us. The enormous amount of this dust is well shown by the fact that then only we can look full at the sun,even when the whole sky is free from clouds and there is no apparent mist。

不过,在日出日落时,由于光线到达地面南非要穿过厚厚的大气层,这种反射效果大大增强了。只有在这种时候,我们才可以直视太阳,即使万里长空没有一点云彩,不见一丝雾霭。这就充分显示了低空尘埃的数量之大。

篇20:愚人节英文优秀作文

全文共 2400 字

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexicos counterpart of April Fools Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoes untied, or I accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fools Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
