第二板块 写作系列专项提能
如果一篇文章中有较多的语法错误,即使词汇再亮、句式再高,也只能是欲盖弥彰、难掩其丑,将直接被打入低分“冷宫”。“欲想得高分,先保基本分”。所以,我们先从写对句子学起。
第1招 表达正确——规避常犯的9大错误
考生写作中常犯的错误主要表现在词性不明、措辞不当、用法不妥、重复累赘、句法混乱、中式英语、拼写与标点错误等。下面通过整理归类,列举正误例句,指出错误所在,总结其规律,以便帮助考生尽快提高英语书面语言的准确表达能力。
一、词性不明
误:Those who strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
正:Those who are strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
分析:误将介词作动词:against(反对)是介词而不是动词,用介词表达动作意义,要加系动词be; for为其反义词,意为“同意”。
二、措辞不当
误:Under the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
正:With the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
正:Thanks to the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
分析:思维方式差异:“在……的帮助下”实则是“由于……的帮助”, under常用于“under the leadership/protection of ...”。
三、用法不妥
误:Finally we were shown around the playground at the far back of the school, where there were some boys had a football game.
正:Finally we were shown around the playground at the far back of the school, where there were some boys having a football game.
分析:此处have作非谓语,应用-ing形式表示主动关系。
四、重复累赘
误:The moment when I think of my motto, I'll become energetic and devote myself to what I'm doing.
正:The moment I think of my motto, I'll become energetic and devote myself to what I'm doing.
分析:the moment/minute/instant ...或each/every/next/the first time ...等名词性短语作从属连词引导时间状语从句时,其后不再接when。
五、句法混乱
误:Though it took us some time to help him, but we were happy anyway.
正:Though it took us some time to help him, we were happy anyway.
正:Though it took us some time to help him, yet we were happy anyway.
分析:汉语复合句的关联词语要求完整,但英语复合句中的从属连词和并列连词不可并用,否则句子的类型无法确定。“because ..., so ...”亦属此类。
六、中式英语
误:Grandpa is in his eighties, but his body is healthy.
正:Grandpa is in his eighties, but he is in good health.
分析:body可用来表示强壮的身体(a strong body),但不能指健康状况。
七、拼写错误
误:Nowdays voting on the Inte
