专题08 读后续写 出彩结尾（一）（课件）-2026年高考英语复习写作系列

专题8 高考英语读后续写 出彩结尾（一） 结尾句是全文的收笔处，需要起到点睛的作用，以期给读者留下深刻印象。在结束故事剧情的基本要求之上，可以灵活运用直白叙述、引用名言、含蓄表达等多种方法进行结尾，对故事主题进行深化，使人物情感得到升华。熟练掌握这些结尾方法并针对故事特征进行恰当的运用，可以使文章的结尾更加出彩。 结尾 手法 角度 直白式结尾 名言式结尾 含蓄式结尾 情感升华 剧情升华 一、手法 高考英语读后续写中的“直白式结尾”是一种直接点明主题、总结情感或揭示道理的结尾方式，适合在有限篇幅内快速收尾。作者通常融入自己的观点、评价以点明记叙内容的意义。直白式的结尾可以凸显文章的主题，起到画龙点睛的作用。除此之外，也需要对内容进行扩充，突出句子的具体时空信息、主人公的感受等。下面我将从特点、适用场景、写作技巧和常见问题四个方面详细讲解： （一）直白式结尾的核心特点 ❊直接点题：用简洁的语言明确表达人物感悟或事件结果。 例：That day, I finally understood the true meaning of courage.（那天，我终于明白了勇气的真正含义。） ❊情感外露：使用直白的情感词汇（happy/moved/grateful等）。 例：Tears of joy streamed down her face as she hugged the rescued puppy tightly.（她紧紧抱住被救的小狗，喜悦的泪水流下脸颊。） ❊道理显化：直接呈现成长感悟，避免含蓄表达。 例：This experience taught me that kindness can change someone’s life.（这次经历让我明白，善意能改变一个人的生活。） 典例分析 例 1: “Darling,” replied Valentine, “has not the count just told us that all human wisdom is summed up in two words? — ‘Wait’ and ‘hope’.” “我的朋友，”瓦朗蒂娜答道，“伯爵刚才不是告诉我们了吗？人类的一切智慧都包含在这两个词里面：‘等待’和‘希望’。” 【解析】本文讲述了主人公受人委托送了一封信，而后遭到陷害被打入死牢。一位狱友向他传授各种知识，并在临终前告诉了他一个关于宝藏的秘密。主人公越狱后找到了宝藏，成为巨富。从此改名为基督山伯爵。经过精心策划，他报答了恩人，惩罚了仇人。在结尾，作者借角色之口点明文章主题-—等待和希望。耐心的等待加之以希望带来的动力，必然能迎来黎明的曙光。主人公也正是靠着这两个词度过了他最艰辛困苦的岁月。 例 2: And I shall remain satisfied, and proud to have been the first who has ever enjoyed the fruit of his writings as fully as he could desire; for my desire has been no other than to deliver over to the detestation of mankind the false and foolish tales of the books of chivalry, which, thanks to that of my true Don Quixote, are even now tottering, and doubtless doomed to fall forever. Farewell. 我的愿望无非是让人们对那些骑士小说里人物的荒诞行径深恶痛绝。现在，我首先享受到了这种成果，已经心满意足。由于我这本关于唐·吉诃德的真实故事，骑士小说将日趋衰落，并且最终将彻底消亡。再见。 【解析】故事背景是一个早没有骑士的年代，主角唐·吉诃德幻想自己是个骑士，因而做出种种令人匪夷所思的行径，最终从梦中苏醒过来。作者在结尾中直白地点明在序言中提到的写作意图：“这部书只不过是对于骑士文学的一种讽刺”，目的在于“把骑士文学的地盘完全摧毁”。 二、高分写作技巧与例句 1. 情感强化公式 ❊动作描写 + 情感直述 Clutching the gold medal, I whispered to myself, “Hard work really pays off.”（紧握金牌，我低声自语：“努力真的会有回报。”） Looking at Mom’s tired but smiling face, I realized how much she had sacrificed for me.（看着妈妈疲惫却微笑的脸，我意识到她为我付出了多少。） 2. 双线收束法 ❊环境描写 + 心理感悟 As the sun set behind the mountains, I knew this journey had changed me forever.（当太阳落山时，我知道这段旅程永远改变了我。） The gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, reminding me that hope always returns.（微风带来花香，提醒我希望总会回来。） 3. 首尾呼应模板 ❊开头：I never thought a simple act could mean so much. ❊结尾：Now I know, even the smallest kindness can light up someone’s world.（现在我知道，即使是最小的善意也能点亮别人的世界。） 4. 常用收尾句式 ❊倒装强调：Never had I felt so proud of myself until that moment.（那一刻，我从未如此为自己骄傲。） ❊What 主语从句：What truly mattered was not the prize, but the friendship we built.（真正重要的不是奖项，而是我们建立的友谊。） ❊感悟式：It dawned on me that true happiness comes from giving, not taking.（我突然明白，真正的幸福来自给予，而非索取。） 三、避免的雷区 过度说教： ❌ So everyone should help others like I did.（太生硬） ✅ The grateful smile in her eyes was my greatest reward.（更自然） 2. 情感脱节： 前文写“迷路恐惧”，结尾却写 the most enjoyable adventure（矛盾） 3. 中式直译： ❌ Revolutionary friendship（应改为 unbreakable bond） Sample It was the homecoming parade in Rockwall, Texas, and cheerleader Tyra was riding atop one of the school’s floats in her cheerleading uniform. As it slowly made its way down the avenue, the 17-year-old enthusiastically waved at the crowd, all the while soaking in the music, laughter, and applause. An expression of intense joy illuminated Tyra’s eyes. She was a fine, tall, slim beauty, with blue eyes and dark hair. The atmosphere in the street was electric as everyone enjoyed the parade. All of a sudden, a horrific scream shattered the joyous atmosphere. Tyra looked down and saw a two-year-old on the sidewalk gasping for air. His nose was short and broad, while his nostrils flared like that of a lion. His frantic mother pleaded to the gathered crowds for help. She was trembling helplessly as she stood over him. The boy, Clarke, had been sucking on a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth. It had lodged in his throat and blocked his windpipe (气管). “Someone help me, someone help me,” the boy’s mum Nicole kept begging. People stood in shock, and Nicole could not understand why nobody would help them. She was becoming more and more panicked and tears streamed down her face. The boy was no longer coughing. He lay on the ground in despair as he gasped for breath, but no matter how hard he tried, no air was reaching his lungs. No one seemed to know how to help, no one except for Tyra. Tyra was a senior with dreams of becoming a pediatric surgeon (小儿外科医生). To show prospective universities how dedicated she was to her career goals, she had taken a first aid course and learned the Heimlich maneuver (海姆利克氏急救法) and CPR. Now it looked as if those lessons were going to be used a lot sooner than she had expected. Knowing that every second would count, she leaped off the moving float and ran to the child. By the time she got to Clarke, his face had turned purple. “I’ve got him!” she yelled to Nicole as she grabbed the boy from his mother. Tyra tilted (使倾斜) his body and gave him three back thrusts (推挤). The boy coughed up the piece of candy. He gasped as he started to breathe again. Without another word, Tyra handed Clarke back to his mother and sprinted back to her float before it could leave her behind. It all happened so fast, Nicole never had time to thank the teen. But Tyra did not think it was a big deal. She had only done what she was trained to do. She knew what Nicole was feeling. She had seen her tears streaming down her face. Tyra’s heroic actions left Nicolo speechless. 【解析】本篇文章讲述了Tyra在返校游行的时候救下被糖噎住的小男孩 Clarke 的故事。在续写的第一段通过一连串的动作描写说明了主人公是如何解救 Clarke 的，随即在第二段中写道：男孩母亲 Nicole 没有时间说一句感谢的话，但是 Tyra 并不在意。倒数第二句话提到 Tyra 的英勇行为让Nicole 感到“speechless”。 由上述内容我们可以推测出，文章的结尾应该是关于感恩或是助人为乐的。 Possible ending version 1: The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is “thank you”. But that doesn’t seem good enough. 【点评】在上一句中提到了Nicole感动到speechless，这一段的结尾可以从speechless展开，表明仅仅是一句Thank you不足以表达 Nicole 的感激之情，与前文呼应。 Possible ending version 2: No words can express her thanks for Tyra’s swift action. Nicole hoped that she would one day have the opportunity to pass this kindness on. 【点评】该结尾依然承接上一句中的speechless，将情节围绕Nicole展开，视角放在了“传递善意”上，与前文 中 Tyra “had only done what she was trained to do”相呼应；同时点明主旨，使文章立意清晰。 Possible ending version 3: Tyra would never stop helping others. After she graduated, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a pediatric surgeon. helping to save even more people. 【点评】该结尾围绕Tyra展开，上半句承接第一段续写中的帮助他人，下半句则承接前文提到的成为小儿外科医生的梦想，目的依然是为了拯救他人，与人物性格相符。 （二）名言式结尾 使用名言结尾往往能给文章增添文采,同时也能起到凝炼中心、深化主旨的作用。这种结尾可以引出结论、即时抒情、凸显主旨、渲染氛围等。此外,如果文章开头便引用了名言,结尾也可使用名言呼应,使文章结更为完整。 合理引用名言可以为续写文章画龙点睛,因此在平时我们不仅要多加积累,也要明白名言蕴含的道理,以便将其用在合适的语境中。 以下针对高考英语读后续写中名言式结尾的详细讲解，包含适用场景、写作技巧、高分例句及常见错误分析，帮助考生在考场中快速写出亮眼结尾。 I.名言式结尾的特点 ❊引用或化用名言：直接引用/改编名人名言、谚语或金句，提升结尾的哲理性和文采。 ❊贴合主题：名言需与故事情节或人物成长高度契合，避免生搬硬套。 ❊自然过渡：通过人物感悟或环境描写引出名言，避免突兀。 适用场景： ❊故事主题明确（如坚持、友谊、勇气等） ❊需要升华立意时 ❊原文有象征性意象（如灯塔、风雨等） 1. 引用或化用名言 通过权威语句提升结尾的哲理性和说服力，需注意： ❊直接引用：需准确，加引号并注明作者（若记得） ❊化用改编：保留名言核心结构，替换关键词贴合故事 例句： ① Holding the repaired watch, I finally understood Lincoln’s words: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” （握着修好的手表，我终于明白林肯的话：“预测未来最好的方式就是创造它。”） ▲ 适用场景：修复旧物后领悟创新/主动行动的重要性 ② As the rescued bird flew away, I realized the truth in Jane Goodall’s observation: “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world.” （当被救的小鸟飞走时，我理解了珍·古道尔的观察：“你不可能度过一天而不对世界产生影响。”） ▲ 适用场景：帮助动物/环保类故事 2. 贴合主题 选择与故事核心主题高度匹配的名言，避免牵强附会。 ❊错误示范： ❌ 故事讲“同学教我数学”，结尾用爱迪生的“天才是1%灵感加99%汗水”（更适合“努力练习”主题） ❊正确示范： When Lily handed me the painstakingly rewritten notes, Confucius’ saying flashed in my mind: “Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?” （当莉莉递给我她精心重写的笔记时，孔子的话闪过脑海：“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”） ▲ 适用场景：友情帮助类情节 3. 自然过渡 通过动作描写或心理活动引出名言，避免机械插入。 ❊生硬版： ❌ The story tells us: “Where there is a will, there is a way.” ❊自然版： ① Wiping sweat from my forehead, I smiled at the finished project. Mom was right—“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” （擦去额头的汗水，我对着完工的作品笑了。妈妈说得对——“忍耐是痛苦的，但果实是甜蜜的。”） ▲ 通过动作（wiping sweat）自然过渡到感悟 ② The setting sun painted the sky gold as Grandpa’s words echoed in my heart: “The journey is the reward.” （夕阳将天空染成金色，爷爷的话在我心中回响：“过程本身就是回报。”） ▲ 通过环境描写（setting sun）烘托名言 补充：不同主题的速配名言 主题 推荐名言 例句应用 母爱 坚持 宽容 A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human to do the impossible. “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated.” — R. Collier “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” — Twain Watching Mom stitch my torn backpack late at night, I finally understood: “A mother’s love is the fuel...” After three months of practice, my fingers found the right chords. Robert Collier was right... When I saw Tom offering his lunch to the boy who bullied him, Mark Twain’s words came to life... 二、高分写作技巧与例句 1. 直接引用法 公式：情节总结 + 名言引用（需加引号） 例：As I watched the team celebrate our hard-won victory, I remembered Helen Keller’s words: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” （当看到团队庆祝来之不易的胜利时，我想起海伦·凯勒的话：“独自一人能做的不多，齐心协力却能成就很多。”） ❊适用主题：团队合作、互助 2. 化用改编法 公式：名言改编 + 情节呼应 例（改编泰戈尔）：The fire of hope might seem tiny in the storm, but as Tagore said, even the smallest star shines against the darkest night. （希望之火在风暴中或许微弱，但如泰戈尔所言，最渺小的星辰也能照亮黑夜。） ❊适用主题：逆境成长、希望 3. 谚语点睛法 公式：动作描写 + 谚语总结 例：Grandpa patted my shoulder and handed me the repaired kite. “Remember,” he smiled, “just like the old saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.” （爷爷拍拍我的肩，把修好的风筝递给我。“记住，”他笑着说，“正如老话所说，有志者事竟成。”） ❊适用主题：坚持、亲情 4. 自创金句法 公式：模仿名言结构 + 结合故事 例：That day, I learned a truth as solid as the mountains: kindness, once planted, grows into forests that shelter countless souls. （那天，我明白了一个如山般坚实的真理：善意一旦播下，便会长成庇护众生的森林。） ❊适用主题：善良、传承 三、万能名言库（按主题分类） 主题 名言/谚语（中英对照） 适用场景 坚持 友谊 勇气 希望 成长 克服困难、长期努力 朋友互助情节 战胜恐惧类故事 绝处逢生情节 挫折后醒悟 It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. — Confucius (“不怕慢，只怕站。” — 孔子) A friend in need is a friend indeed. （患难见真情） “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” — Mandela (“勇气不是没有恐惧，而是战胜恐惧。” — 曼德拉） The night is darkest just before the dawn. （黎明前夜最黑暗） “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” — Nietzsche （“杀不死你的会让你更强大。” — 尼采） 四、避免三大雷区 强行引用：名言与情节无关 ❌ 故事讲“帮助老人”，结尾却用爱因斯坦的科学名言。 2.引用错误：记错名言或作者 ❌ 将莎士比亚的To be or not to be用于环保主题。 3.过度堆砌：连续引用多句名言，显得生硬。 典例分析 例 1: Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. 不要用收获来判断每一天，而是看你每天播种了多少。 【解析】这则名言采用了比喻的手法，将人的付出和回报比作耕种和收获。其内核是过程和结果之间的比较，强调过程的重要性大于结果。可以用于习惯养成类或长期活动类叙事的结尾，提升思想境界。 例 2: It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. 越是在黑暗的时刻，我们越要找寻光明。 【解析】这则名言通过前后反义概念的对比，突出光明的重要性，引申为在困境中保持积极乐观的生活态度。可以用于主要人物经历重大坎坷，最后凭借乐观心态度过艰难岁月的叙事类文章。 例 3: Tell me and I forget. Tench me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 告诉我，我会忘记。教给我，我会铭记，让我参与，我会掌握。 【解析】这则名言通过排比和对比揭示了学习的规律，阐明了实践出真知的道理。可以用于总结学习经历，反思技能掌握的过程等。 例 4: In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. 到最后，重要的不是你活过了多少年岁，而是你如何度过这些岁月的。 【解析】这则名言通过巧妙的词汇调换改变句意，揭示了生活的真谛，即只有认真对待生活，人生才不会留下遗憾。由于本句涉及的时间跨度较大，写作中最好从有经验者的视角提出。 Sample As one of the world’s most renowned motivational speakers, Les Brown’s passion and energy motivates audiences, pushing them to step beyond their limitations and find what makes them great. However, it wasn’t always that way for him. Born in Liberty City, he has known struggle and hardship in his entire life. Academically, he was labeled “educable mentally handicapped (可教育性心智障碍者)” by the academic intelligentsia of his day and placed back from the 6th grade to the 5th grade. To make matters worse, he had a twin brother who was exceptionally bright and gifted. As a result, Les was commonly referred to by his peers as the “DT” — the “dumb twin”. These labels cast a shadow on his early school life and robbed him of his confidence. One day, a math teacher asked him to come up and solve a problem on the chalkboard. Les refused and said that he couldn’t. He sat on his chair passionlessly and hoped this answer would make the teacher pass over the question to the next student. However, the math teacher insisted that he could. “Of course you can,” he responded encouragingly with a gentle and confident smile on his face. “Young man, come up here and solve this problem for me.” “But I can’t,” Les murmured. “I’m educable mentally handicapped.” The rest of the class erupted in laughter. At that point, the math teacher stepped out from behind his desk and looked Les straight in the eye. “Don’t ever say that again,” he told Les firmly. “Someone else’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.” The math teacher led Les to the chalkboard. Les scratched his head in hesitation. He looked into his teacher’s eyes and saw encouragement and confidence. With a quick scan of the chalkboard, Les reassured himself that he could answer it because the question looked familiar. He racked his brain hard to try and think how to solve it. He remembered a few math formulas (公式) that helped him solve the problem. After solving the problem on the chalkboard, Les cracked a smile. This was the first time he had ever won an approving grin from a teacher at school. The success tasted so sweet that he could ignore his classmates’ envy and disbelief. The teacher’s words took root in his heart and constantly motivated him to explore his potential and step beyond his limitations. 【解析】本文讲述了著名的励志演说家 Les Brown上学时在数学老师的帮助下重拾自信的故事，情感积极向上。安排结尾的时候，可以从人物(Les Brown、数学老师)的角度出发，说明自信或鼓励的重要性；也可以从剧情出发，由 Les Brown 受到鼓励后树立自信并取得成功，长大后成为励志演说家的故事，归纳得出motivation 的作用。 Possible ending version 1: He made it his personal responsibility to bring powerful revelation to people in low spirits, just like what his teache had done with him, which is why he tells people, “You have greatness within you.” 【点评】该结尾补充了老师的寄语，老师相信Les拥有潜力，可以获得成功。Les 决定将这份信任和鼓励传递下去。本句是对前文老师说过的话“Someone else’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.”的拔高形成前后呼应，巧妙得当。 Possible ending version 2 Looking back on the previous experiences, he learned a new lesson: live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory. 【点评】该结尾从Les的角度出发，站在现在的立场上回望过去的经历，营造出时间上的层次感。巧妙的是，这句话出自 Les Brown 自己的语录，继承和发扬了老师的观点。在照应剧情的同时，也升华了情感。 Possible ending version 3: Had it not been for the teacher’s encouragement, he would not have achieved his success. As an old saying goes, a good teacher is worth more than thousands of books. 【点评】该结尾总结故事情节，强调了一位好老师对学生的重要意义，体现了教师除教书外，在育人方面无可替代的作用，对全文主旨进行升华。 （三）含蓄式结尾 在一篇文章的结尾，作者没有明显地把事情的结果或自己的观点写出来，而是给读者留下想象的余地。这种写作手法便是含蓄式结尾。在含蓄类的结尾中，一般是采用象征手法，用具体事物来表现某种特殊意文主题也随之升华，还有一种是侧面描写，给读者留下想象的空间。以下是高考英语读后续写中含蓄式结尾的详细讲解，包含核心特征、写作技巧、实用例句及避坑指南，帮助考生掌握高级结尾写法： I.含蓄式结尾的核心特征 1. 留白艺术 通过意象、动作或环境暗示情感，避免直接陈述。 ▶ 例：The last leaf on the old maple tree trembled in the wind, yet clung to its branch. （老枫树上最后一片叶子在风中颤抖，却仍紧抓着树枝。） ▲ 解读：暗示主人公在困境中的坚持，不直接说he never gave up. 2. 象征手法 用具体事物代表抽象情感或成长。 ▶ 例：She folded the unfinished letter and placed it in the drawer, next to the dried wildflower. （她把未写完的信折好放进抽屉，挨着那朵压干的野花。） ▲ 解读：用“未写完的信”和“干花”象征未说出口的遗憾与回忆 3. 多义表达 同一句话可作字面和深层理解。 ▶ 例：“It’s just a scratch,” he said, rubbing the rust off his father’s pocket watch. （“只是个小划痕，”他说着，擦去父亲怀表上的锈迹。） ▲ 解读：表面指怀表划痕，暗指父子关系的修复 II.高分写作技巧与例句 1. 环境烘托法 用自然环境折射人物心理状态。 ▶ 例：The first snowflakes began to fall as the porch light flickered awake. （初雪飘落时，门廊的灯忽地亮了起来。） ▲ 适用场景：久别重逢/希望出现的情节 2. 动作隐喻法 通过细微动作传递深层情感。 ▶ 例：His calloused hands hesitated for a second before smoothing out the crumpled exam paper. （他长满老茧的手停顿了一秒，然后抚平了皱巴巴的试卷。） ▲ 解读：父亲沉默的安慰，不直接写he forgave me。 3. 物品聚焦法 用关键物品承载情感重量。 ▶ 例：The compass needle finally settled, pointing steadily north—just like Grandpa said it would. （指南针的指针终于停稳，稳稳指向北方——就像爷爷说过的那样。） ▲ 解读：暗示找回人生方向 4. 对话留白法 用未完成的对话制造余韵。 ▶ 例：“Maybe next spring...” Mom’s voice faded as she turned to the seedling on the windowsill. （“也许明年春天......” 妈妈的声音渐弱，目光转向窗台上的幼苗。） ▲ 适用场景：期待未来/疗愈创伤类故事 III.主题化例句库 主题 含蓄式结尾例句 解析 友谊 成长 亲情 勇气 The two cups of hot chocolate steamed on the table, their warmth melting the frost on the window. She laced up her worn-out sneakers—the ones that had carried her through every storm since sixth grade. Dad’s old scarf still hung on the hook, smelling faintly of woodsmoke and peppermint. The little boat rose with the wave, its patched sail catching the morning light. 用“融化窗上霜花”隐喻友谊化解隔阂 旧运动鞋象征成长历程 物品气味触发回忆 修补的船帆暗示克服恐惧 典例分析 例 1: He remembered the days when you could get thirteen Royal Natives for a shilling. 他一直忘不了一个先令就可以买十三只大牡蛎的日子。 【解析】本句使用了情景再现的手法，通过使角色追忆往昔，促使读者进一步思考，得出“往昔不再”的结论。由此可以得出，作者对金钱尚未支配人们生活的日子抱有怀念。这样的结尾虽然语言平淡无奇，但内涵却十分丰富。 例 2: Up the road, in his shack, the old man was sleeping again. He was still sleeping on his face and the boy was sitting by him watching him. The old man was dreaming about the lions. 在大路另一头老人的窝棚里，他又睡着了。他依旧脸朝下躺着，男孩坐在他身边，守着他。老人正梦见狮子。 【解析】本文围绕一位老年古巴渔夫展开，讲述他与一条巨大的马林鱼在离岸很远的湾流中搏斗的历程。在结尾中，老人梦见的“狮子”带有象征色彩，象征老人的梦想与渴望或是象征老人征服困难的雄心壮志,这个意象具有多重内涵，作者用这种含蓄的结尾引导读者去想象，去寻找自己的解释。 例 3: They stood for a moment at the balustrade and looked at Trafalgar Square. Cabs and omnibuses hurried to and fro, and crowds passed, hastening in every direction, and the sun was shining. 他们在栏杆旁边站了一会儿，注视着特拉法尔加广场，只见那儿马车啦、公共汽车啦，来来往往，穿梭不息，人群熙来攘往，步履匆匆，朝着各个不同的方向涌去。此时，太阳当空，光芒四照。 【解析】文章讲述主人公的人生道路并不顺畅，经历了不少痛苦才逐渐解除了加诸在人一生中的种种枷锁，获得心灵的平静与精神的自由。在故事的结尾，主人公渴望妻子、家庭和爱情。最终选择融入了大多数人所选择的生活，安定了下来。作者通过对周围环境的描写——生机勃勃的广场、光芒四射的太阳，含蓄地暗示了主人公的心境和未来美好的生活。 例 4: Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. And one fine morning — So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. 盖茨比信奉这盏绿灯，这个一年年在我们眼前渐渐远去的纸醉金迷的未来。它从前逃脱了我们的追求，不过那没关系——明天我们跑得更快一点，把胳臂伸得更远一点……总有一天—于是我们奋力向前划，逆流问上的小舟，不停地倒退，进入过去。 【解析】文章讲述穷职员尼克偶然闯入了大富翁盖茨比隐秘的世界，发现他内心唯一的牵绊竟是河对岸那盏绿灯，灯影中住着心爱的黛西。然而，盖茨比心中的女神只不过是物质女郎。盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般，璀璨只是一瞬。文章结尾含蓄内敛，看似没有表达任何观点，实际上却通过不同的意象——绿灯、小舟等，表达了对于个人梦想无法实现的悲哀，也表达了对社会倒退的嘲讽。这样的结尾给予了读者巨大的想象空间，促使读者以自己的理解去解读作者想表达的含义，语言含蓄，余味无穷。 Sample Jarrett was testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris, suddenly stopped. There was something in the distance, moving among the trees, which had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored, five-month-old Great Dane mix. The poor pup was really thin. His ribs were showing and he had a lot of road rashes (皮疹) as well as a broken leg. The cyclists fed him and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from town and riding bikes. “We can’t leave him,” Jarrett said to Chris. “He will end up as crocodile food out here.” Jarrett, a 31-year-old brick and concrete business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and slipped the 38-pound dog’s hind legs into the back pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he draped the dog’s front paws over his shoulders. The pup was injured, so he wasn’t trying to fight. He was also happy that Jarrett and Chris were there, touching him, and hadn’t left him alone. With the dog secured, the trio (三人组) cycled for 30 minutes back into town. They stopped at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. That was when Andrea, a corporate attorney from Maine in town on business, happened by. The dog made a beeline for her, and licked her fingers. Andrea was smitten (突然被迷住) and, after learning what had happened, declared her intentions. “I am keeping this dog.” Andrea called him Columbo after the town where they’d met in, and scheduled an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a pony to keep him company. He has grown in size since his rescue, and grown more robust as well. He is literally one of the luckiest dogs alive. 【解析】本篇文章讲述了Jarrett在测试山地车时救下一只大丹犬的故事，在续写的第一段讲到一名律师收养了狗狗(Columbo)，并为其安排了手术治疗腿伤。第二段则是关于Columbo如今的幸福生活。在第二段续写的最后部分采用外貌描写，虽然没有正面提及Columbo现在的生活状态，却通过grown in size和grown more robust侧面说明了Columbo 生活之幸福。并与第二段刚被救起时的外貌broken leg, really thin, ribs were showing, a lot of road rashes形成鲜明对比，更突出了狗狗现在过得好。由此可以确定结尾的基调是温馨欢乐的，可以通过环境描写、外貌描写等烘托Columbo现在的生活状况。 Possible ending version 1: His leg has completely cured. Running through the farm, there was always a glint of joy in his eyes. 【点评】在该结尾中，作者没有正面说明Columbo现在过得怎么样，而是延续了上文的外貌描写，文中提到 Columbo的腿completely cured、眼睛里有a glint of joy。作者通过这样的词，侧面反映了狗狗幸福的生活。 Possible ending version 2: The setting sun creates a cozy atmosphere. Andrea looks at Columbo running along the fence, with dust flying from the ground. 【点评】本结尾同样没有提到 Columbo 的生活、是否快乐等，而是通过收养者 Andrea 的眼睛描述了一副美丽的画卷。读者看到这里，可以想象出在这幅美丽画卷里生活的 Columbo 有多么快乐和幸福。 Possible ending version 3: He could still remember the cyclists that rescued him. When Chris appeared in front of him, he stopped, tilted his head, and blinked with a big smile. 【点评】本段结尾通过描写 Chris 与 Columbo 的互动，用“stopped”、“tilted”、“blinked”等一系列动作描写，表 现了Columbo 的活泼可爱，再加上“a big smile”这样的拟人描写，虽然没有一句提到Columbo的生活如何、幸福与否，但已经给了读者足够的暗示。 Thank you for your listening $$
