雅思学习制胜兵法:怎样写出地道的英语作文?

在接触英美人士的过程中,有时候你会发现这种所谓的表达差异性:同样是在说明一件事情,native speaker 的表达给人的感觉要灵活简洁很多,比如要表达“他参加了竞赛”,一般人想到的可能是 "He took part in the competition ",但老外的说法可能是"He entered for the competition", “他肯定要60岁了”很可能不是"He must be nearly 60 years old" 而是"He must be going on for 60",类似的情况还有很多。

我们可以得到的启发是:要写出地道文章的第一步并不是一味追求所谓的大词难词,而是要先把最简单的小词和短语给学好用好。

我们有必要回头去重新学习我们曾经“熟视无睹”的单词。比如"see"这个单词看起来似乎人畜无害?但如果你去翻翻朗文词典的话会发现它有几十条释义,有些搭配你可能见都没见过,更别说用了,比如see through,see over sth ,see about sth,see sb/sth out 等,而这些我们认为陌生的短语和表达,可能会在母语人士的文章中被大量应用。

这些“看起来很简单但我就是写不出来”的东西,才是我们需要积累的东西。

应该怎样去积累这些表达?

大量阅读是一个方法,通过阅读,发现好的表达,然后一步步积累下来,这是最正常的做法。但在这里我想说的是一种比较“极端”的方法:读词典。

词典确实是可以拿来读的,类似于上面提到的这类简单词,我们完全可以把词条通读一遍,留意一下有哪些新鲜的搭配和用法,有些可能会让你大开眼界“居然还能这样用”。

当然这里并不是要叫你拿一部大砖头词典一个个单词去翻去查,这样下来谁都会崩溃的。

我用技术手段做了一点微小的工作,用一种更加巧妙的方式来读词典。具体思路是这样的:

1.确定有多少值得注意并认真掌握的单词

2.把这些单词在词典中对应的释义导出来

对于第一个问题,我参考了目前比较流行的柯林斯五星词频理念,将柯林斯五星,四星以及三星共计1000多个单词提取出来,做成词汇表,这些单词就是值得我们重点掌握的小词。有了词汇表之后,我们还需要把这些单词在词典中的释义提取出来。换句话说,其实这是一本词汇书,而且还是定制版的。

怎么使用?你可以将它放到手机平板或者电脑上,建议把词汇书通读一遍,碰到好的表达就截图或者做标记,方便日后复习。

词汇书的下载链接我放在文末,如果你想自己制作词汇书的话也可以参考这篇文章:有哪些相见恨晚的学单词方法?

除了读词典之外,大量阅读“地道”的英文材料也是一个好方法。

这里我给“地道”下的定义是:话题贴近日常生活(比如日常衣食住行,生活感悟等),实用性较高。

但这种材料并不好找。《经济学人》这类外刊并不一定合适,因为他们是严肃的政经材料,用来准备雅思托福作文肯定没问题,但当涉及到与日常生活相关话题时却并不一定管用,假如现在让你用英文写一下自我介绍,你总不能用《经济学人》那种君临天下指点江山的文风来写吧。

在这里推荐一些比较好的材料:贴近生活的原版畅销书以及电影剧本。

之所以要强调是“贴近生活的原版畅销书”,是因为原版书也分很多类,比如经典名著(像 1984, The Great Gatsby ),商业读物,名人传记,青春文学小说等。年代过于久远的经典以及专业性太强的读物并不适合,我们需要的读物应该是话题喜闻乐见,用词鲜活地道的作品。从这个标准来看,不少畅销小说可以满足这个特点,比如 Gone Girl, The Time Traveler's Wife 。

另外一个需要着重介绍的材料是电影剧本。

电影字幕相信很多人都听说过,但了解电影剧本的就比较少了。剧本除了包含台词(字幕)之外,还带有人物动作的说明,剧情背景以及剧情进度的说明等。比起看电影学英语,我更加推荐“读剧本学英语”——因为剧本中包含了电影中所有台词,而且还带有大量背景说明,看完电影再读剧本的过程就相当于把电影场景又脑补了一遍,在这个过程中对台词的理解会大大加深,各种鲜活的表达也能更加深刻地记忆。

我记得盗梦空间(Inception)在电影开头有这样一个场景:在梦境中 Nash 走到了窗边,拨开窗帘观察外面的情况。如果让你来写这个场景,你会怎么写?

剧本中是这样写的 " Nash moves to the window, parts the curtains." 是的,part 在这里居然还可以当动词用,而且用得非常自然。脑补完电影中的场景之后,相信你对 part的动词用法再也忘不了了。

而这样的例子在剧本中往往大量出现,一部电影的剧本读下来笔记都能写好几页了。希望通过看电影学英语的同学可以尝试下这种方式,找几部之前看过的电影,下载对应的剧本去认真读一读,并做好笔记,然后再重新看一遍电影,这样收获会比单纯看电影大很多。

需要下载剧本的同学可以按 "电影关键词+movie script" 的方式搜索,比如 "Inception movie script",或者可以去IMSDb(The Internet Movie Script Database)这个网站下载,

总结:

要像母语人士一样写出地道的文章并不是一件简单的事情,它需要大量的素材积累,最简单的小词和短语也一定要学好用好,在这个基础上,多接触不同的英文材料,比如各种贴近生活的原版书,各种电影电视剧本,从这些材料中积累对于母语人士而言最自然的表达,才能慢慢写出地道的英文。

Q&A:写得地道的文章一定是好文章吗?

不一定,地道与否是衡量一篇文章好坏的重要标准,但并不是唯一标准——思想和逻辑同样重要。实际情况是,对于雅思写作来说,即使让一名野生老外来写,也不一定能够拿高分。因为比起浅层次的表达,思想与逻辑才是最难掌握的东西。除了追求语言表达地道之外,文章做到逻辑严密,思想深刻,才是我们最终的目标。

Weahter a large family is a good thing or not is a very popular topic which is often talked about not only by city residents but by farners as well.

2.There is no denying the fact that…无可否认,空气污染是一个极其严重的问题:城市当局应该采取有力措施来解决它。There is no denying the fact that air pollution is an extemerely serious problem:the city authorities should take strong measures to deal with it.

3.As is known to all,…众所周知,假冒伪劣商品损害了消费者的利益。As is known to all,fake and inferior commodities harm the interests of consumers.(=do a lot of harm to the interests of comsumers)

雅思写作技巧之如何突出句子的重点

有效的句子要有重点,并且要突出重点。

句子的重点可以通过下列方法,加以突出:

1. 把重点摆在句首或句尾。

一般而论,最显眼的位置是在“句尾,其次是在句首,中间的位置最平淡,乏善可陈。例如:

(1) Incorrect grammar and improper construction invariably distract readers'attention.

(2) The history of vocabulary is, in many ways, the record of civilisation.

把重点放在句尾是种“吊胃口”的方法,读者或听者非得读完或听完整句不可。

2. 在复杂句里,把主句放在从句之后。

除了名词从句和形容词从句之外,因为它们位置较固定,副词从句中有几种的位置灵活,可以在主句之前出现,

也可以跟在主句之后。通常我们就把这样的副词从句提前,重点则放在后头的主句,如(3b):

(3a) I came upon an old classmate when I went to town yesterday.

(3b) When I went to town yesterday, I came upon an old classmate.

副词短语更是如此,如 (4b):

(4a) Steel is commonly used to make knives, razors and other useful tools because of its durability.

(4b) Beacuse of its durability, steel is commonly used to make knives,razers and other useful tools.

3. 把较重要或有分量的词语放在后头,如(5b)和(6b):

(5a) I was delighted and amused by the classical opera

(5b) I was amused and delighted by the classical opera.

(6a) That singer's life was tragic and brief.

(6b) That singer's life was brief and tragic.

4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。例如:

(7) Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed.

(8) Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education?

5. 必要时,重复重要的语词或概念。

例如:

(9) Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity,

and he likes their silence.

(10) ...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the

nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays.

6. 尽量用主动说态,因此(11b)比(11a)好:

(11a) A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone.

(11b) A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head.

7. 适当时候,可用倒装句和平行句,如:

(12) Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest

lived seven dwarfs.

(13) Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred.

(14) Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent.
