七。措词毛病(Troubles in Diction) Diction 是指在特定句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲、斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。 病句:The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution. (农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。) 剖析:显然,考生把obstacles障碍、障碍物误作substance物质了。另外the increasing use(使用的不断增加)应改为abusive use(滥用)。 改为:The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution. 八。累赘(Redundancy) 言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。 病句1:In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him. 剖析:本句的the fact that he is lazy系同谓语从句,我们按照上述能用词组的不用从句。 改为:In spite of his laziness, I like him. 病句2:For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need. |
