高中英語議論文的寫作,大多有具體要點(diǎn)(即論點(diǎn)或論據(jù))的限定,所以并不需要如何地縱橫捭闔,如何地旁征博引。但是,麻雀雖小,五臟俱全,一篇100來字的議論文,同樣必須邏輯嚴(yán)密,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,語言洗練,必須論有中心,言而有據(jù)。以下筆者試從篇章結(jié)構(gòu)、句子修辭和詞匯運(yùn)用等三個(gè)方面來談一談寫好一篇小議論文的基本方法和技巧。
一、篇章結(jié)構(gòu)
(一)先有規(guī)矩,然后才能從心所欲,不逾矩
議論文的寫作,住往從正反兩方面來論述,且都有其約定俗成的議論模式,即從“主題句一正面論述,反面論述一結(jié)論”四大塊去營造文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)(四塊論)。例如,某題目要求論述“學(xué)校規(guī)定‘課間學(xué)生只能呆在自己的教室里'對(duì)嗎?”這一話題。如果作者認(rèn)為學(xué)校的規(guī)定不對(duì),他就應(yīng)該在文章第一塊(段)亮出自己的觀點(diǎn):There? is? currently? much? discussion? about? whether? students? should? stay? in? their? own? classrooms? or? not? during? break? times.Personally? I? believe? that—.而第二塊應(yīng)該從正面論述“課間不能只呆在自己的教室里”的理由。比如可以說:I? would? argue? that? break? times? are? our? only? opportunity? to? choose? what? we? want? to? do.? 第三塊則從反面觀點(diǎn),即“課間只能呆在自己的教室里”出發(fā),批駁對(duì)方觀點(diǎn)或進(jìn)一步闡述己方觀點(diǎn)。例如可以說:Another? reason? why? people? say? that? students? have? to? stay? in? their? own? classes? at? break? times? is? that? it? would? be? difficult? to? organize? dinners。最后一塊(段)則用不同的語言再次強(qiáng)調(diào)已方觀點(diǎn)。乍一看去,議論文“四塊論”仿佛有“八股文”的嫌疑,但“四塊論”符合人的認(rèn)知規(guī)律,所以值得多多模仿和操練。
(二)圍繞中心論述,確保論述的內(nèi)容直接為主題服務(wù)
在上例中,“學(xué)生課間時(shí)不能只呆在自己的教室里”是主題句,論述時(shí)應(yīng)該緊緊圍繞它。有的同學(xué)在寫的時(shí)候先說“學(xué)生若課間被允許到其他班級(jí)活動(dòng),就可以交到更多的朋友”,然后又說“交到更多朋友就可以學(xué)到更多知識(shí)”,“學(xué)到更多知識(shí)就可以為社會(huì)做出更大的貢獻(xiàn)”……這種論述方式貌似環(huán)環(huán)相扣,承前啟后,實(shí)則是中心渙散的流水賬,說到最后,不僅讀者會(huì)一頭霧水,連作者自己都會(huì)忘了自己在說什么。
(三)確立并寫好論點(diǎn),并將其置于每一段的段首
整篇文章有整篇文章的中心論點(diǎn),每一段落有每一段落的分論點(diǎn)。選取論點(diǎn)時(shí)要問一問自己:這一論點(diǎn)是否會(huì)讓自己信服?如果—個(gè)論點(diǎn)連自己都說服不了,就要放棄它。段落論點(diǎn)的呈現(xiàn)不能羞羞答答,猶報(bào)琵琶半遮面,也不能深藏不露,讓讀者去總結(jié)和歸納,而必須在文章開篇或段落開頭就亮出來。論點(diǎn)置于篇首或段首,才能綱舉目張,也是確保不跑題的前提。以下兩個(gè)例子中,第一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)松散,群龍無首,令讀者不知所云;而第二個(gè)例子則中心突出,章法嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。請(qǐng)看:
1.Firstly,it? is? very? convenient? in? daily? life.There? are? many? shops? and? supermarkets? in? a? city.I? can? buy? everything? I? need? easily? in? these? places.When? I? am? sick,I? can? easily? see? a? doctor? in? any? clinic? or? hospital.Transport? services? are? good? in? a? city.when? I? want? to? go? somewhere,I? can? take? a? bus,a? train? or? something? else.There? are? also? many? kinds? of? entertainment? in? a? city.Public? buildings(such? as? libraries)and? parks? can? easity? be? found? in? a? city,too.
2.First.it? is? convenient? and? comfortable? to? live? in? a? city.To? begin? with,there? is? good? housing? in? a? city,as? all? the? houses? and? flats? are? well-equipped? with? good? facilities? and? surrounded? by? modern? amenities? such? as? places? of? entertainment,public? libraries? and? parks.
而中心句的寫法也有講究。中心句必須能高度概括所在段落的論據(jù),它的關(guān)鍵詞應(yīng)該在每—個(gè)論據(jù)中都有重復(fù)或適當(dāng)體現(xiàn)。那種無關(guān)痛癢的敘述或說明性的句子,是不適宜用作中心句的。例如:
1.Students? always? feel? relaxed? and? happy? during? breaks.(敘述性句子)
2.Break? times? are? scheduled? for? about? 10? minutes.(說明性句子)
以下即是論述“學(xué)校規(guī)定‘課間學(xué)生只能呆在自己的班級(jí)里'對(duì)嗎?”的一篇學(xué)生習(xí)作:
Although? some? people? believe? that? students? should? stay? in? their? own? classrooms? during? break? times,I? would? like? to? argue? that? we? should? be? allowed? to? spend? break? times? in? another? class.
The? most? important? reason? for? believing? that? is? that? many? students? have? friends? in? other? classes.We? spend? all? day? in? our? own? classroom,and? break? times? are? the? only? time? we? have? to? spend? with? other? friends.It? can? become? very? tedious(令人厭倦的)to? have? to? spend? even? more? time? with? the? same? people.
A? further? reason? for? allowing? student? to? choose? where? they? spend? their? break? times? is? that? it? would? stop? arguements.If? students? are? forced? to? spend? time? with? classmates? who? are? not? good? friends,they? can? annoy? each? other.This? leads? to? problems? that? have? to? be? sorted? out? by? teachers.
Teachers? argue? that? we? all? should? stay? in? our? own? classes,because? it? is? then? easier? to? know? what? is? going? on.They? say? that? it? is? difficult? to? keep? track? of? students? when? they? are? walking? round? the? corridors.However,students? could? be? given? the? chance? to? choose? a? different? classroom? to? spend? the? whole? break? time? in.That? would? mean? that? there? would? not? be? any? students? in? the? corridors.
As? I? have? explained,although? it? might? be? a? little? easier? to? manage? when? everyone? stays? in? their? own? classroom,it? would? make? break? times? happier? for? all? students? if? they? were? allowed? to? choose? where? they? spent? their? time.
這篇范文符合“四塊論”的基本模式,正反論述兼顧,結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),中心突出。
二、句子修辭
(一)應(yīng)用修辭,增強(qiáng)說服力
適當(dāng)采用比喻、頭韻(即連續(xù)數(shù)個(gè)單詞的頭音或頭字母相同)、夸張等修辭手法,采用幽默、平行結(jié)構(gòu)等寫作手法,可以把道理說得更加透徹,把觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)得更加鮮明,把平淡的內(nèi)容表現(xiàn)得更加生動(dòng),從而更好地傳遞信息,增添文采,激發(fā)讀者的共鳴。例如:
1.Many? people? have? tried? a? thousand? times? before? they? achieve? their? goals.(夸張) ?
2.Only? a? madman? would? choose? to? live? in? a? modern? city.(夸張)
3.Our? life? would? be? like? soup? without? salt? or? flowers? without? sunlight.(比喻)
4.The? best? way? is? to? reduce,reuse? and? recycle.(頭韻)
5.For? children.the? Internet? is? another? way? to? waste? more? hours.(幽默)
6.If? you? want? to? earn? a? satisfactory? grade? in? the? training? program,you? must? arrive? punctually,you? must? behave? courteously,and? you? must? study? conscientiously.(平行結(jié)構(gòu))
值得注意的是,比喻等修辭格的使用及諺語等的引用關(guān)乎作者對(duì)英語文化的理解,因?yàn)樗鼈冊(cè)谟⒄Z中的意義往往與我們的理解大相徑庭,很容易誤用。只有多多學(xué)習(xí),認(rèn)真分析它們的應(yīng)用環(huán)境,使用起來才能錦上添花。如果沒有十分的把握,切不可生搬硬套,否則會(huì)適得其反。
(二)表達(dá)到位,才能言之成理
通常,作者對(duì)自己論述的觀點(diǎn)是清楚的,但在將觀點(diǎn)傳達(dá)給讀者時(shí),往往因?yàn)橛迷~不準(zhǔn)確,邏輯欠嚴(yán)密,或因受中國式思維的干擾而令表達(dá)不到位,結(jié)果使讀者如墮五里霧中。作者應(yīng)站在讀者的立場(chǎng)上考慮問題,始終牢記“讀者明不明白”才是判斷寫作是否成功的最重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。請(qǐng)看以下幾個(gè)表達(dá)不到位的例句及其改正方法。
1.They? gave? me? what? I? need,but? not? what? I? want.
析:want可譯為“想要”。從漢語角度看,整個(gè)句子是流暢的,但從英語的邏輯上看,want與need的意義極易混淆,因此整個(gè)句子意義表達(dá)不到位,含糊不清??梢愿臑椋篢hey? have? given? me? what? I? need? but? not? What? I? often? ask? for.
2.Maybe? there? are? also? some? disadvantages? of? living? in? a? city,but? I? think? they? are? less? important.I? feel? convenient? and? comfortable.
析:句子后半部分的邏輯關(guān)系未交代清楚,令人有“前言不搭后語“的感覺??梢愿臑椋篢heere? are? surely? disadvantages? of? living? in? a? city,too,but? they? are? less? important? and? tend? to? be? de-emphasized.For? the? sake? of? the? advantages? mentioned? above,I? prefer? to? live? in? a? city.
3.Different? people? have? different? choices.Some? people? like? living? in? a? city? and? some? people? like? living? in? a? village.
析:Choice的含義十分寬泛,因此與后面的like不相稱,應(yīng)改為:Different? people? have? different? likes? and? dislikes.Some? like? to? live? in? a? city,others? like? to? live? in? a? village.
4.The? people,the? society? and? so? on? were? quite? different? from? now.
析:The? people,the? society依然不足以讓讀者完全理解要論述的話題,可改為:The? peopIe,the? society? and? other? aspects? of? life? were? quite? different? from? now.
5.Thieves? should? be? sentenced? for? what? they? have? done. ?
析:使用sentence未免言過其實(shí),應(yīng)改為:Thieves? should? be? punished? for? their? wrongdoing.
(三)簡(jiǎn)潔洗練,要言不煩
語言簡(jiǎn)潔有力,文風(fēng)干凈利落,是議論文的重要特征之一。應(yīng)該指出的是,好句子并不以長(zhǎng)短論英雄,長(zhǎng)句未必不簡(jiǎn)潔,短句未必不哆咳。作者在寫作時(shí),只要力求做到“章無冗段,段無冗句,句無冗詞”,就可改變當(dāng)斷不斷、拖泥帶水的現(xiàn)象。
1.The? Are? No? Good? Reasons? Why? Boys? and? Girls? Should? Not? Be? Treated? Equally.
析:此為一標(biāo)題句,此作者濫用雙重否定,從而使句子過長(zhǎng)。宜改為:Boys? and? Girls? Should? Be? Given? Equal? Treatment.
2.For? instance,I? knew? how? to? communicate? with? other? people? and? how? to? look? after? myself.The? most? important? thing? was? that? I? learn? to? be? independent.
析:從意義上講,look? after? myself與independent關(guān)系緊密,可以合在一起。句子可改為:For? instance,I? knew? how? to? communicate? with? others? and? how? to? look? after? myself? as? an? independent? girl.
3.Moreover,as? some? girls? study? harder? than? boys,they? may? be? even? superior.
析:moreover后若繼續(xù)用從句,就會(huì)干擾讀者的思維??筛臑椋篗oreover,some? girls? are? very? dilgent.As? a? result,they? may? prove? superior? to? ordinary? boys.
4.What? I? mean? to? say? is? that? well-intentioned? law-makers? sometimes? make? fools? of? themselves.
析:what從句并未提供新信息,故可刪去。句子可改為:Well-intentioned? law—makers? sometimes? make? fools? of? themselves.
三、詞匯運(yùn)用
(一)多用書面語,少用口頭語
相對(duì)口頭語而言,書面語更能增添文章的厚重感和讀者對(duì)文章的信任感。下列每一組句子中,第二句都使用了書面語言,用詞更加規(guī)范,因而比前一個(gè)句子略勝—籌。
1.We? still? have? the? social? problems.
The? same? social? problems? still? exist? today.
2.For? me,there? is? no? need? for? further? protection? of? woodlands.
As? far? as? I'm? concerned,further? protection? of? woodlands? is? not? needed.
3.With? the? development? of? computer? technology,? commercial? information? exchange? is? becoming? easier.
Computers? have? greatly? influenced? business? communication.
4.Everything? has? two? sides? and? this? problem? is? quite? the? same.
Everything? has? two? sides? and? this? issue? is? not? an? exception.
(二)使用連接詞
在句子間使用連接詞,能使文章脈絡(luò)更加清晰,邏輯關(guān)系更加流暢。例如:
1.The? water? was? polluted.As? a? result,the? fish? died.
2.However,others? think? we? should? have? junk? food.
3.On? the? other? hand? packaging? can? have? many? disadvantages.
4.Firstly? many? people? die? of? passive? smoking(被動(dòng)吸煙)and? secondly? it? can? aggravate(使……惡化)lung? diseases.
相關(guān)的連接詞還有:On? the? contrary,all? in? all,in? short,generally,worse? still,on? the? other? hand,in? conclusion,as? a? consequence,hence,also,personally,furthermore,definitely,surely,undoubtedly,obviously,additionally,in? addition,moreover,consequently,clearly,besides,as? well,likewise,in? my? opinion,for? the? sake? of,last? but? not? the? least,to? begin? with,firstly(first),etc.
很多時(shí)候,一些常用的句式或句子也能承上啟下,使相關(guān)的信息得到巧妙的過渡和銜接。例如:
The? main? reason? is? that…
I? can't? agree? more.
Another? thing? we? can't? forget? is? that…
There? is? every? reason? to? believe? that…
As? we? all? know…
總而言之,一篇好的議論文,總是在結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯和語言等方面略勝一籌。
?
一、篇章結(jié)構(gòu)
(一)先有規(guī)矩,然后才能從心所欲,不逾矩
議論文的寫作,住往從正反兩方面來論述,且都有其約定俗成的議論模式,即從“主題句一正面論述,反面論述一結(jié)論”四大塊去營造文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)(四塊論)。例如,某題目要求論述“學(xué)校規(guī)定‘課間學(xué)生只能呆在自己的教室里'對(duì)嗎?”這一話題。如果作者認(rèn)為學(xué)校的規(guī)定不對(duì),他就應(yīng)該在文章第一塊(段)亮出自己的觀點(diǎn):There? is? currently? much? discussion? about? whether? students? should? stay? in? their? own? classrooms? or? not? during? break? times.Personally? I? believe? that—.而第二塊應(yīng)該從正面論述“課間不能只呆在自己的教室里”的理由。比如可以說:I? would? argue? that? break? times? are? our? only? opportunity? to? choose? what? we? want? to? do.? 第三塊則從反面觀點(diǎn),即“課間只能呆在自己的教室里”出發(fā),批駁對(duì)方觀點(diǎn)或進(jìn)一步闡述己方觀點(diǎn)。例如可以說:Another? reason? why? people? say? that? students? have? to? stay? in? their? own? classes? at? break? times? is? that? it? would? be? difficult? to? organize? dinners。最后一塊(段)則用不同的語言再次強(qiáng)調(diào)已方觀點(diǎn)。乍一看去,議論文“四塊論”仿佛有“八股文”的嫌疑,但“四塊論”符合人的認(rèn)知規(guī)律,所以值得多多模仿和操練。
(二)圍繞中心論述,確保論述的內(nèi)容直接為主題服務(wù)
在上例中,“學(xué)生課間時(shí)不能只呆在自己的教室里”是主題句,論述時(shí)應(yīng)該緊緊圍繞它。有的同學(xué)在寫的時(shí)候先說“學(xué)生若課間被允許到其他班級(jí)活動(dòng),就可以交到更多的朋友”,然后又說“交到更多朋友就可以學(xué)到更多知識(shí)”,“學(xué)到更多知識(shí)就可以為社會(huì)做出更大的貢獻(xiàn)”……這種論述方式貌似環(huán)環(huán)相扣,承前啟后,實(shí)則是中心渙散的流水賬,說到最后,不僅讀者會(huì)一頭霧水,連作者自己都會(huì)忘了自己在說什么。
(三)確立并寫好論點(diǎn),并將其置于每一段的段首
整篇文章有整篇文章的中心論點(diǎn),每一段落有每一段落的分論點(diǎn)。選取論點(diǎn)時(shí)要問一問自己:這一論點(diǎn)是否會(huì)讓自己信服?如果—個(gè)論點(diǎn)連自己都說服不了,就要放棄它。段落論點(diǎn)的呈現(xiàn)不能羞羞答答,猶報(bào)琵琶半遮面,也不能深藏不露,讓讀者去總結(jié)和歸納,而必須在文章開篇或段落開頭就亮出來。論點(diǎn)置于篇首或段首,才能綱舉目張,也是確保不跑題的前提。以下兩個(gè)例子中,第一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)松散,群龍無首,令讀者不知所云;而第二個(gè)例子則中心突出,章法嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。請(qǐng)看:
1.Firstly,it? is? very? convenient? in? daily? life.There? are? many? shops? and? supermarkets? in? a? city.I? can? buy? everything? I? need? easily? in? these? places.When? I? am? sick,I? can? easily? see? a? doctor? in? any? clinic? or? hospital.Transport? services? are? good? in? a? city.when? I? want? to? go? somewhere,I? can? take? a? bus,a? train? or? something? else.There? are? also? many? kinds? of? entertainment? in? a? city.Public? buildings(such? as? libraries)and? parks? can? easity? be? found? in? a? city,too.
2.First.it? is? convenient? and? comfortable? to? live? in? a? city.To? begin? with,there? is? good? housing? in? a? city,as? all? the? houses? and? flats? are? well-equipped? with? good? facilities? and? surrounded? by? modern? amenities? such? as? places? of? entertainment,public? libraries? and? parks.
而中心句的寫法也有講究。中心句必須能高度概括所在段落的論據(jù),它的關(guān)鍵詞應(yīng)該在每—個(gè)論據(jù)中都有重復(fù)或適當(dāng)體現(xiàn)。那種無關(guān)痛癢的敘述或說明性的句子,是不適宜用作中心句的。例如:
1.Students? always? feel? relaxed? and? happy? during? breaks.(敘述性句子)
2.Break? times? are? scheduled? for? about? 10? minutes.(說明性句子)
以下即是論述“學(xué)校規(guī)定‘課間學(xué)生只能呆在自己的班級(jí)里'對(duì)嗎?”的一篇學(xué)生習(xí)作:
Although? some? people? believe? that? students? should? stay? in? their? own? classrooms? during? break? times,I? would? like? to? argue? that? we? should? be? allowed? to? spend? break? times? in? another? class.
The? most? important? reason? for? believing? that? is? that? many? students? have? friends? in? other? classes.We? spend? all? day? in? our? own? classroom,and? break? times? are? the? only? time? we? have? to? spend? with? other? friends.It? can? become? very? tedious(令人厭倦的)to? have? to? spend? even? more? time? with? the? same? people.
A? further? reason? for? allowing? student? to? choose? where? they? spend? their? break? times? is? that? it? would? stop? arguements.If? students? are? forced? to? spend? time? with? classmates? who? are? not? good? friends,they? can? annoy? each? other.This? leads? to? problems? that? have? to? be? sorted? out? by? teachers.
Teachers? argue? that? we? all? should? stay? in? our? own? classes,because? it? is? then? easier? to? know? what? is? going? on.They? say? that? it? is? difficult? to? keep? track? of? students? when? they? are? walking? round? the? corridors.However,students? could? be? given? the? chance? to? choose? a? different? classroom? to? spend? the? whole? break? time? in.That? would? mean? that? there? would? not? be? any? students? in? the? corridors.
As? I? have? explained,although? it? might? be? a? little? easier? to? manage? when? everyone? stays? in? their? own? classroom,it? would? make? break? times? happier? for? all? students? if? they? were? allowed? to? choose? where? they? spent? their? time.
這篇范文符合“四塊論”的基本模式,正反論述兼顧,結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),中心突出。
二、句子修辭
(一)應(yīng)用修辭,增強(qiáng)說服力
適當(dāng)采用比喻、頭韻(即連續(xù)數(shù)個(gè)單詞的頭音或頭字母相同)、夸張等修辭手法,采用幽默、平行結(jié)構(gòu)等寫作手法,可以把道理說得更加透徹,把觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)得更加鮮明,把平淡的內(nèi)容表現(xiàn)得更加生動(dòng),從而更好地傳遞信息,增添文采,激發(fā)讀者的共鳴。例如:
1.Many? people? have? tried? a? thousand? times? before? they? achieve? their? goals.(夸張) ?
2.Only? a? madman? would? choose? to? live? in? a? modern? city.(夸張)
3.Our? life? would? be? like? soup? without? salt? or? flowers? without? sunlight.(比喻)
4.The? best? way? is? to? reduce,reuse? and? recycle.(頭韻)
5.For? children.the? Internet? is? another? way? to? waste? more? hours.(幽默)
6.If? you? want? to? earn? a? satisfactory? grade? in? the? training? program,you? must? arrive? punctually,you? must? behave? courteously,and? you? must? study? conscientiously.(平行結(jié)構(gòu))
值得注意的是,比喻等修辭格的使用及諺語等的引用關(guān)乎作者對(duì)英語文化的理解,因?yàn)樗鼈冊(cè)谟⒄Z中的意義往往與我們的理解大相徑庭,很容易誤用。只有多多學(xué)習(xí),認(rèn)真分析它們的應(yīng)用環(huán)境,使用起來才能錦上添花。如果沒有十分的把握,切不可生搬硬套,否則會(huì)適得其反。
(二)表達(dá)到位,才能言之成理
通常,作者對(duì)自己論述的觀點(diǎn)是清楚的,但在將觀點(diǎn)傳達(dá)給讀者時(shí),往往因?yàn)橛迷~不準(zhǔn)確,邏輯欠嚴(yán)密,或因受中國式思維的干擾而令表達(dá)不到位,結(jié)果使讀者如墮五里霧中。作者應(yīng)站在讀者的立場(chǎng)上考慮問題,始終牢記“讀者明不明白”才是判斷寫作是否成功的最重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。請(qǐng)看以下幾個(gè)表達(dá)不到位的例句及其改正方法。
1.They? gave? me? what? I? need,but? not? what? I? want.
析:want可譯為“想要”。從漢語角度看,整個(gè)句子是流暢的,但從英語的邏輯上看,want與need的意義極易混淆,因此整個(gè)句子意義表達(dá)不到位,含糊不清??梢愿臑椋篢hey? have? given? me? what? I? need? but? not? What? I? often? ask? for.
2.Maybe? there? are? also? some? disadvantages? of? living? in? a? city,but? I? think? they? are? less? important.I? feel? convenient? and? comfortable.
析:句子后半部分的邏輯關(guān)系未交代清楚,令人有“前言不搭后語“的感覺??梢愿臑椋篢heere? are? surely? disadvantages? of? living? in? a? city,too,but? they? are? less? important? and? tend? to? be? de-emphasized.For? the? sake? of? the? advantages? mentioned? above,I? prefer? to? live? in? a? city.
3.Different? people? have? different? choices.Some? people? like? living? in? a? city? and? some? people? like? living? in? a? village.
析:Choice的含義十分寬泛,因此與后面的like不相稱,應(yīng)改為:Different? people? have? different? likes? and? dislikes.Some? like? to? live? in? a? city,others? like? to? live? in? a? village.
4.The? people,the? society? and? so? on? were? quite? different? from? now.
析:The? people,the? society依然不足以讓讀者完全理解要論述的話題,可改為:The? peopIe,the? society? and? other? aspects? of? life? were? quite? different? from? now.
5.Thieves? should? be? sentenced? for? what? they? have? done. ?
析:使用sentence未免言過其實(shí),應(yīng)改為:Thieves? should? be? punished? for? their? wrongdoing.
(三)簡(jiǎn)潔洗練,要言不煩
語言簡(jiǎn)潔有力,文風(fēng)干凈利落,是議論文的重要特征之一。應(yīng)該指出的是,好句子并不以長(zhǎng)短論英雄,長(zhǎng)句未必不簡(jiǎn)潔,短句未必不哆咳。作者在寫作時(shí),只要力求做到“章無冗段,段無冗句,句無冗詞”,就可改變當(dāng)斷不斷、拖泥帶水的現(xiàn)象。
1.The? Are? No? Good? Reasons? Why? Boys? and? Girls? Should? Not? Be? Treated? Equally.
析:此為一標(biāo)題句,此作者濫用雙重否定,從而使句子過長(zhǎng)。宜改為:Boys? and? Girls? Should? Be? Given? Equal? Treatment.
2.For? instance,I? knew? how? to? communicate? with? other? people? and? how? to? look? after? myself.The? most? important? thing? was? that? I? learn? to? be? independent.
析:從意義上講,look? after? myself與independent關(guān)系緊密,可以合在一起。句子可改為:For? instance,I? knew? how? to? communicate? with? others? and? how? to? look? after? myself? as? an? independent? girl.
3.Moreover,as? some? girls? study? harder? than? boys,they? may? be? even? superior.
析:moreover后若繼續(xù)用從句,就會(huì)干擾讀者的思維??筛臑椋篗oreover,some? girls? are? very? dilgent.As? a? result,they? may? prove? superior? to? ordinary? boys.
4.What? I? mean? to? say? is? that? well-intentioned? law-makers? sometimes? make? fools? of? themselves.
析:what從句并未提供新信息,故可刪去。句子可改為:Well-intentioned? law—makers? sometimes? make? fools? of? themselves.
三、詞匯運(yùn)用
(一)多用書面語,少用口頭語
相對(duì)口頭語而言,書面語更能增添文章的厚重感和讀者對(duì)文章的信任感。下列每一組句子中,第二句都使用了書面語言,用詞更加規(guī)范,因而比前一個(gè)句子略勝—籌。
1.We? still? have? the? social? problems.
The? same? social? problems? still? exist? today.
2.For? me,there? is? no? need? for? further? protection? of? woodlands.
As? far? as? I'm? concerned,further? protection? of? woodlands? is? not? needed.
3.With? the? development? of? computer? technology,? commercial? information? exchange? is? becoming? easier.
Computers? have? greatly? influenced? business? communication.
4.Everything? has? two? sides? and? this? problem? is? quite? the? same.
Everything? has? two? sides? and? this? issue? is? not? an? exception.
(二)使用連接詞
在句子間使用連接詞,能使文章脈絡(luò)更加清晰,邏輯關(guān)系更加流暢。例如:
1.The? water? was? polluted.As? a? result,the? fish? died.
2.However,others? think? we? should? have? junk? food.
3.On? the? other? hand? packaging? can? have? many? disadvantages.
4.Firstly? many? people? die? of? passive? smoking(被動(dòng)吸煙)and? secondly? it? can? aggravate(使……惡化)lung? diseases.
相關(guān)的連接詞還有:On? the? contrary,all? in? all,in? short,generally,worse? still,on? the? other? hand,in? conclusion,as? a? consequence,hence,also,personally,furthermore,definitely,surely,undoubtedly,obviously,additionally,in? addition,moreover,consequently,clearly,besides,as? well,likewise,in? my? opinion,for? the? sake? of,last? but? not? the? least,to? begin? with,firstly(first),etc.
很多時(shí)候,一些常用的句式或句子也能承上啟下,使相關(guān)的信息得到巧妙的過渡和銜接。例如:
The? main? reason? is? that…
I? can't? agree? more.
Another? thing? we? can't? forget? is? that…
There? is? every? reason? to? believe? that…
As? we? all? know…
總而言之,一篇好的議論文,總是在結(jié)構(gòu)、邏輯和語言等方面略勝一籌。
