(1) 具体性原则 在具备一定词汇量的条件下,具体的表达比泛泛而谈的内容更能引起读者的共鸣。例如:当描述一个具体事物或人时,类似a nice/good man的表达让人感觉很空洞,我们可以用有个性的、具体的词描绘一个人,如kindhearted(好心的);generous(慷慨的;大方的);easygoing(随和的)等。 ①I will have my own family probably with a lovely child. ②It was with sincerity and faithfulness that we created a harmonious atmosphere. (2)新颖性原则 写作时恰当得体地使用高中学过的、别人可能想不到的词汇,会给阅卷人耳目一新的感觉。但是需注意:既要避免使用俗词,又要避开冷僻词汇。 ①In the coming three years,our school life will be difficult. →In the coming three years,our school life will be challenging. ②So long as we hold fast to our ideals and never give up,we are sure to achieve success. →So long as we hold fast to our ideals and never give up,we are bound to achieve success. (3)短语优先原则 多使用词组、习语来代替一些单词,以增加文采。 ①Developing a good habit is also important. →Developing a good habit is also of importance. ②As the number of English learners is increasing,it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. →As the number of English learners is on the rise,it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. ③I was going to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car,which drove off quickly. →I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car,which drove off quickly. |
