如何使自己的托福作文寫作更加地道化?下面小編整理了以下內(nèi)容,歡迎參考!
我們常常在看老外的文章時會發(fā)現(xiàn),他們的一篇文章用,名詞出現(xiàn)的概率相當?shù)母。不僅如此,對名詞喜愛的程度更是到了把動詞都要名詞化,而且經(jīng)常性的使用抽象名詞,因此在寫作時,如果能夠投其所好,自然能夠得到加分。
簡單說,名詞化即是動詞或形容詞被用作名詞的現(xiàn)象。比如動詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞:discovery->discovery, move->movement, refuse->refusal,又比如形容詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞:careless->carelessness, difficult->difficulty, intense->intensity。那么什么情況下,我們需要進行名詞化呢?
A.謂語動詞的賓語部分
原句:I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.
名詞化:I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.
B.結(jié)合被動形式
原句:If people decide without enough persuasive information,...
名詞化:If a decision is made without enough persuasive information,...
C.取代諸如從句中“the fact that”的用法
原句:The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.
名詞化:My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.
更好的名詞化:a. When I denied his accusations, I impressed the jury.
b. In denying his accusations, I impressed the jury.
D.名詞化部分用在there is/are的后面
原句:We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.
名詞化:There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.
原句:The floods considerably eroded the land.
名詞化:There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.
然而,有些時候,在我們的新托福寫作方式中認為理所應(yīng)當使用“名詞化”時,老外認為是沒有必要的。比如:
A. 名詞化部分跟在動詞后面
原句(名詞化“冗余”):The police conducted an investigation into the matter.
改后:The police investigated the matter.
B.名詞化部分作為主語
原句:Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.
改后:We discussed a tax cut.
C.連續(xù)進行名詞化
原句:a. First, she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.
b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.
改后:First, she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.
D.連接部分名詞化
原句:Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.
改后:They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.
原句:The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.
改后:Even though the motor housing was unstable, the research staff completed the field trials.
因為中國的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣是在組句中以動詞為主,因此在新托福寫作的過程中,如何轉(zhuǎn)到地道的表達對大家來說可能是一件比較困難的一件事,不過任何事情只要做了,就有可能發(fā)生。相信同學(xué)們勤加苦練必然能有所收獲。
