本文的语篇类型是论说文。文章为“总—分—总”结构,此类结构的论说文一般会在第一段开门见山地提出论点,但本文第一段是引论,第二段提出论点,然后以两位著名作家为例进行论证说明。最后一段做出总结,重申论点,指出成功的道路各不相同,对未来的规划也不一定变成现实,但只要心怀理想、充满斗志,就会拥有成功的人生。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.In the face of such questions, how should we approach the future?
赏析:本句中使用了介词短语In the face of ...作状语,相当于状语从句When/If we face such questions,简化了句式结构,使表达更简洁、高效。
2.Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life, their careers unfolded in contrasting ways.
赏析:本句中动词unfold的使用给表达增添了活力和动态感。此处unfold意为“发展”,除此之外,它还可以表示“打开;展示;透露;(使)逐渐展现”等。
3.By contrast, the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally worked as a doctor.
赏析:此处使用了By contrast “相比之下”,笔锋一转,引出下文,将柯南·道尔的人生规划与海明威的进行比较。
4.So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter, take a leaf out of the books of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.
赏析:本句中运用习语“take a leaf out of the books”形象地表达出作者的观点:不管未来遇到什么困难,参照一下这两位作家的人生发展历程。“take a leaf out of someone's book (从某人的书中取出一页)”含义是“效仿某人的成功案例,以某人为榜样”。使用习语可以使表达更高级,语言更生动形象。

(二)赏句式之高
1. In this respect, some people are more fortunate than others, as can be illustrated by comparing the lives of two famous authors, born 40 years apart.
赏析:本句中运用了as引导的非限制性定语从句及by doing ...结构对前半句中提到的观点进行举例说明。写作中可灵活运用上述表达方式,以提升文章的档次。
2.Though both of these men were ultimately successful, their paths to success were very different, their futures not necessarily turning out exactly as they planned.
赏析:本句中运用Though 引导的让步状语从句,强调了主句要传达的意思,同时独立主格结构their futures ...planned又进一步说明不但他们的成功之路截然不同,他们的未来也不一定完全如他们当初所计划的那样。

赏析:此处连续使用了五个疑问句,层层发问,引人深思,既为下文引出主题做好铺垫,又增强了文章的气势。
