本文是一篇博客,属于新媒体语篇。此类文章一般不拘泥于形式,内容时代感强,侧重互动性,语言则更注重个性化。文章在行文方式上虽然灵活多变,但通常会围绕一个中心展开或由一条线索串起。如本文按时间顺序展开,通过时间关键词then the day came、 at that very moment、 the first day、 at first、 then、 by the end of the week等将全文串联起来,层层递进地描述了作者由手机迷到停用手机之后的一系列变化,通过对比作者的前后变化,督促读者适度使用手机,把时间用在更有意义的事情上,多去感受真实世界中丰富多彩的生活。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night.
赏析:be glued to sth.生动形象地展现了作者对手机上瘾的情形。
2.At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone.
赏析:very用作形容词,表示“(特指人或事物)正是,恰好,同一的”。very moment强调“此时此刻”,表达了作者打算做出改变的决心。
3.The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.
赏析:stretched out形象地写出了作者停用手机后的感受:时间变得缓慢,仿佛被拉长了一样。stretch out本义是“平躺;躺直;伸出,伸开(身体的某一部位)”。
4.Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.
赏析:作者在列举了自己远离手机后所进行的活动之后,用Best of all强调了要用自己的双眼而不是通过手机镜头去感受生活之美。

④The beaches are very beautiful, but, best_of_all,_there_are_very_few_tourists.
这片海滩很美,但最令人满意的是游客很少。
(二)赏句式之高
1....and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a tiny screen all day.
赏析:could have done表示过去本可以做而实际上未做,表达出作者对过度使用手机的反思。
2.Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet!
赏析:独立主格结构Head down、 eyes on my smartphone简洁有力地描述了作者当时的形象:低着头,眼睛盯在手机上,搭配后面的简单句a car shot past及nearly引出的分词短语,画面清晰地呈现了当时惊险的一幕。
3.We had never felt closer to each other.
赏析:否定词never与比较级closer连用,突出强调了远离手机对作者的积极影响。
[提能训练] (翻译句子)
①我本能够解决那个问题的,但我太紧张了。
I_could_have_worked_out_the_problem,_but_I_was_too_nervous.
②我从未经历过比今天更有趣的一天。
I_haven't_experienced_a_more_interesting_day_than_today.
(三)赏描摹之韵
1.(写作手法)I was used to checking the news and my friends' social media updates every few minutes, but now I did not know what to do with myself.
赏析:was used to ...but now ...采用了对比手法,叙述了作者停止使用手机后的不习惯。
2.(心理描写)I felt lost and anxious, as if I had missed something of value.Very soon, time slowed down.The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.
赏析:第一句中用lost and anxious描写了作者心中的迷惘、不安,同时用as if引导的虚拟语气具象化了这种情感。随后的两句话中,作者接着把自己的感觉具象化:时间变得慢了下来,空虚的时光在自己面前拉长。这种写作手法带给读者强烈的代入感,如亲身所感。
3.(景物描写)The details of the scene were revealed in front of me: the soft sunlight, a bird singing from a high tree branch, the rich and earthy smell of the soil after the rain.
赏析:作者以工笔画的方式,在我们面前细致入微地描绘了一幅安详愉悦的画面:柔和的阳光、枝头歌唱的小鸟,以及雨后泥土的芬芳。
