英语写作:句子的重点可以通过下列办法,加以突出:
1. 把重点摆在句首或句尾。
通常而论,最显眼的地方是在“句尾,第二是在句首,中间的地方最平淡,乏善可陈。比如:
Incorrect grammar and improper construction invariably distract readers'attention.
The history of vocabulary is, in many ways, the record of civilisation.
把重点放在句尾是种“吊胃口”的办法,读者或听者非得读完或听完整句不可。
2. 在复杂句里,把主句放在从句之后。
除去名词从句和形容词从句以外,由于它们地方较固定,副词从句中有几种的地方灵活,可以在主句之前出现,也可以跟在主句之后。一般大家就把如此的副词从句提前,重点则放在后头的主句,如:
I came upon an old classmate when I went to town yesterday.
When I went to town yesterday, I came upon an old classmate.
副词短语更是这样,如 :
Steel is commonly used to make knives, razors and other useful tools because of its durability.
Beacuse of its durability, steel is commonly used to make knives,razers and other useful tools
3. 把较要紧或有分量的词汇放在后头,如和:
I was delighted and amused by the classical opera
I was amused and delighted by the classical opera.
That singer's life was tragic and brief.
That singer's life was brief and tragic.
4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。比如:
Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed.
Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education?
5. 必要时,重复要紧的语词或定义。
比如:
Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity, and he likes their silence.
...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays.
6. 尽可能用主动说态,因此比好:
A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone.
A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head.
7. 适合时候,可用倒装句和平行句
如:
Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest lived seven dwarfs.
Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred.
Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent。
