描写文是一种用语言对客观世界加以艺术和主观描绘的一种文体。它把对某一物体、人物、地方或景色的印象和了解细腻地表达出来，在读者面前再现它们的形象。它的特点是其描写的具体性、生动性和创造性。描写的细节要能表达主题。同时，应该注意描写的顺序，可按照空间位置顺序、时间顺序，一般到特殊或特殊到一般顺序，递升到递降或递降到递升顺序。这里重点介绍人物描写和地点描写。 1.人物描写文(description of a person) 对人物形象外部特征进行描绘，对于人物性格和人物形象的完整体现，有着重要的烘托作用。人物描写的功能多种多样，可以刻画人物性格特征，表现人物精神面貌，披露人物内心活动，揭示人物身份境遇，显示人物性格变化，突出作品主题思想。为使描写形象逼真、线条清晰、性格鲜明，作者要善于观察，调动丰富的想象力和敏锐的判断力，抓住描写对象的独特之处，并精于语言技巧，用生动活泼的语言再现人物鲜明的形象和性格。例如： Mariak Anagian was a woman I would never forget.She was ninety-two years old when I met her，a gentle，diminutive lady in European dress.Her face was deeply lined，and hercoarse grey hair had yellowed with the years.She spoke in aquivering voice that was half English and half American.Her gnarled hands testified to the years of hard work on the farm in her homeland.Yet in her dark eyes and in her gentle manner there was a childlike simplicity as she told me her tale.I thought，She has the wisdom that comes with years of experience，and the gentle purity of a childa wonderful but strange combination of traits.(Adapted fromWriting English as a Second Language) |
