如何靓化英语写作
要想写出漂亮的文章,必须从写好句子着手。

而写好句子,必须熟悉英语句式的特点。

还有知道英语句子和汉语句子之间的差别。

汉语句子讲究简洁、明了。

在外形上可以比作一根竹子,每个句子就是其中的一节。

而英语句子重视句子与句子之间的逻辑关系。

在外形上可以比作一串葡萄,一根主干加上很多的分支。

要写出地道的英语句子,就要遵循英语构句的原则。

1.把句子中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。

例如:
Weak: Tom’s father is a worker. He works in a factory.
Better: Tom’s father, a worker, works in a factory.
2.将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。

例如:
Weak: The team members are good players.
Better: The team members play well.
3. 在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。

例如:
Weak: Here are the books you ordered.
Better: The books you ordered have arrived.
4.用并列连词(and, but, or等)或分号(;)把两个或两个以上的简单句连在一起构成。

例如:
Weak: You help him. He helps you.
Better: You help him and he helps you. 或You help him; he helps you.
5.用介词替代动词。

介词表示状态,with, without, against, for 都可以取代汉语中相应的动词。

如:
Weak: China is a large country. It has long history.
Better: China is a large country with long history.
6. 用介词替代从句。

如:
Weak: When you come to the second traffic, turn right.
Better: At the second traffic light turn right.
7.用定语从句合并两个简单句子。

Weak: He bought a pen yesterda y. It doesn’t work well.
Better: The pen he bought yesterday doesn’t work well.
8.用关联词合并两个简单句。

Weak: He enjoys playing football. He also enjoys playing basketball.
Better: He enjoys not only playing football but also basketball.
类似的关联词有:both…and…; neither…nor…; either…or…
9.改变句子的语态。

汉语重视主动句,而英语重视被动句。

Weak: He has made much progress in his English.
Better: Much progress has been made in his English.
10.使用短语替代动词。

在句子中使用短语能为文章增添色彩。

Weak: Our city has changed a lot in the past five years.
Better: Great changes have taken place in the past five years in our city.
改变后的句子用短语take place 代替的了change,并且将主动语态改为被动语态。

11.使用不定式。

不定式表示即将发生的动作。

Weak: We will discuss this problem at the meeting that will be held tomorrow.
Better: We will discuss this problem at the meeting to be held tomorrow.
改变后的句子将原句中的定语从句that will be held 改为了to be held。

简化了原句,同时也让体现了句子层次性,逻辑性的特点。

12.使用分词。

动词的分词有两种:过去分词和现在分词。

过去分词表示主动,现在分词表示被动。

Weak: She walked out of the lab and many students followed her.
Better: She walked out of the lad followed by many students.
13.恰当使用逗号,充分发挥标点符号的语法功能。

句号表示一句话内容的终结,而逗号表示一个暂时的停顿,这句话的内容还没有完成。

如:It has some fantastic sights, including the Eiffel Tower and Note Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world.这个句子中使用了两个逗号,第一个逗号后面使用了动词ing形式,表示状态。

第二个逗号后面是一个介词短语,对前面的名词进行解释说明。
