新托福寫(xiě)作應(yīng)該如何提高?作為一門(mén)國(guó)外類(lèi)的考試的一部分，寫(xiě)作時(shí)候的用詞表達(dá)就非常重要。恰當(dāng)而富有特色的表達(dá)往往能夠增加詞匯的鮮活力。我們常常在看老外的文章時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們的一篇文章用，名詞出現(xiàn)的概率相當(dāng)?shù)母摺２粌H如此，對(duì)名詞喜愛(ài)的程度更是到了把動(dòng)詞都要名詞化，而且經(jīng)常性的使用抽象名詞，因此在寫(xiě)作時(shí)，如果能夠投其所好，自然能夠得到加分。

簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)，名詞化即是動(dòng)詞或形容詞被用作名詞的現(xiàn)象。比如動(dòng)詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞：discovery->discovery, move->movement, refuse->refusal,又比如形容詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞：careless->carelessness, difficult->difficulty, intense->intensity.那么什么情況下，我們需要進(jìn)行名詞化呢?

A.謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)部分

原句：I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.

名詞化：I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.

B.結(jié)合被動(dòng)形式

原句：If people decide without enough persuasive information,…

名詞化：If a decision is made without enough persuasive information,…

C.取代諸如從句中"the fact that"的用法

原句：The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.

名詞化：My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.

更好的名詞化：a. When I denied his accusations, I impressed the jury.

b. In denying his accusations, I impressed the jury.

D.名詞化部分用在there is/are的后面

原句：We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.

名詞化：There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.

原句：The floods considerably eroded the land.

名詞化：There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.

然而，有些時(shí)候，在我們的新托福寫(xiě)作方式中認(rèn)為理所應(yīng)當(dāng)使用"名詞化"時(shí)，老外認(rèn)為是沒(méi)有必要的。比如：

A. 名詞化部分跟在動(dòng)詞后面

原句(名詞化"冗余")：The police conducted an investigation into the matter.

改后：The police investigated the matter.

B.名詞化部分作為主語(yǔ)

原句：Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.

改后：We discussed a tax cut.

C.連續(xù)進(jìn)行名詞化

原句：a. First, she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.

b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.

改后：First, she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.

D.連接部分名詞化

原句：Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.

改后：They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.

原句：The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.

改后：Even though the motor housing was unstable, the research staff completed the field trials.

因?yàn)橹袊?guó)的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣是在組句中以動(dòng)詞為主，因此在新托福寫(xiě)作的過(guò)程中，如何轉(zhuǎn)到地道的表達(dá)對(duì)大家來(lái)說(shuō)可能是一件比較困難的一件事，不過(guò)任何事情只要做了，就有可能發(fā)生。相信同學(xué)們勤加苦練必然能有所收獲。
