一篇優秀的高考英語作文除了在選詞方面的講究之外,非常重要的一點就是句式結構的多樣性和靈活性。也就是說,僅僅運用基本的句型,即使不出現錯誤,也很難體現文章的表現力,因而很難得到高分。高考英語作文的評分標準也明確規定,五檔作文要求考生運用較多的語法結構,而由于運用較為復雜的語法結構所導致的少許錯誤是可以理解的。由此可見,句式結構的熟練運用是提高高考英語作文的重要途徑。下文將介紹三類增強英高考語作文表現力的句式結構。
一、使用倒裝句、強調句以改變句子的單調性
例句1:只有當你意識到學習的重要性你才會投入足夠的時間
譯文一: You will put in enough time when you realize the important of learning.
譯文二: Only when you realize the importance of learning will you put in enough time.
例句2:信念和決心讓我有了今天。
譯文一:Faith and determination has brought me where I am.
譯文二:It is faith and determination that has brought me where I am.
二、運用并列句、感嘆句、省略句使句式結構靈活多樣
例句1:我父親熱愛讀書,我母親也熱愛讀書。
譯文一:My father and my mother are both fond of reading.
譯文二:My father is fond of reading, and so is my mother.
例句2:老師引領我們走進一個多彩的世界。
譯文一:Our teachers lead us to a colorful world.
譯文二:What a colorful world our teachers lead us to!
例句3:必要時你還可以向校長求助。
譯文一:When it is necessary you can turn to the schoolmaster.
譯文二:You can turn to the schoolmaster when necessary.
三、利用定語、狀語及名詞性從句以增強句式的緊湊性
例句1:杭州因西湖而聞名,西湖的水清澈美麗。
譯文一:Hangzhou is well-known for the West Lake. Its water is clear and beautiful.
譯文二:Hangzhou is well-known for the West Lake, of which the water is clear and beautiful.
例句2:雖然我還年輕,我卻禁不住要關心家事。
譯文一:Although I am young, I can't help concerning myself with family affairs.
譯文二:Young as I am, I can't help concerning myself with family affairs.
例句3:讓我感到困惑的是我莫大的付出到頭來是徒勞無功。
譯文一:My great effort turned out to be in vain, so I was really confused.
譯文二:What confused me was that my great effort turned out to be in vain.
結語:通過以上的實例不難看出,同一個思想的表達可以采用不同的句式結構。而不同句式結構的運用也能給讀者帶來不一樣的感受。在高考英語作文中,熟練而又準確地運用較為復雜的句式結構是取得高分的一個重要途徑。
adj. 徒勞的,無效的,自負的,虛榮的
