第十三单元 推展段落方法之五举例法 13.1举例法 举例法（examples）也是推展主题的主要方法。举例法有两种形式，一种是首先陈述自己的观点，然后举出一个或多个例子阐明观点；另一种是先举一个很长的例子，然后转入例子所要阐明的观点。 读下面段落： Courage is the willingness to take a risk when the outcome is uncertain，and when the risk taken may involve harm，loss，or danger to the one taking it.The courageous person fears no one and nothing.He or she is undaunted by danger or peril.He or she will venture boldly into an uncertain situation，hardly giving a thought to the harm or consequences which may result to his or her person. 以上段落的缺点是乏味、含糊，不能向读者表达作者关于courage的看法。请看下面重写后的段落。 示范段落13-1 Courage is the willingness to take a risk when the outcome is uncertain，and when the risk taken may involve harm，loss，or danger to the one taking it.For example，in a Los Angeles suburb，a twelve－year－old girl ran into a burning house to rescue her baby brother，pulled him unconscious out of the burning bedroom，and dragged him down the stairs and outside to safety.This was arousing display of courage.The girl had been safe outside the flaming house when she remembered her sleeping brother.Disregarding her personal safety，she plunged into the flaming house to save him. |
