对很多中国托福考生来说，写作文等于中译英。 在英语水平还未达到一定高度之前，考生们的英文写作通常都会受习惯的思维方式和中文句式的影响，最终写成了不土不洋的中式英语，结果就是让考官们一头雾水，老师们哭笑不得。 【案例1】 原文：Environmental protection has more and more gotten the attention of the countries around the world, and the best way of environmental protection has become the focus of the debate。 修改：Environmental protection has drawn increasing attention of the countries around the world, and people have been debating about the best way to protect the environment。 解析： (1)受到越来越多的关注原文用has more and more gotten the attention，是典型的中文直译，不符合英文的行文习惯，应改成has drawn increasing attention。 (2)has become the focus of the debate即成为讨论的焦点，但更地道的英文表达可以人为主语，如：...people have been debating about the best way to protect the environment。 【案例2】 原文：Gradually improved public awareness of environmental protection and insufficient environmental protection measures have been very difficult to reverse the trend of ecological and environmental degradation。 |
