and setting.
如何让文章做到起伏有悬念,可采用以下几
条途径。
技法1增加外部冲突
增加外部冲突是一种明显有效的达到故事高
潮的方式。冲突带来紧迫感,将故事推向顶点。
1.人物之间的冲突
【典例】On the fourth or fifth night,we had
trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy.After
driving in vain for some time,Mom suddenly got a
great idea:Why didn't we find a house with a
likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up a
tent there?David and I became nervous.
分析:开车找旅馆—徒劳无功—母亲建
议搭帐篷—David和“我”倍感紧张,心有不悦
(母子的观点不一)
2.人物与环境之间的冲突
【典例】(2021·浙江1月卷)It was only
when I tried to remove my head that I realized
getting out was going to be less straightforward than
meanwhile showing them the piece of paper.I
pressed my feet down sharply on the pedals in a
desperate attempt to offer my help as soon as
possible.
当我看到他时,那个筋疲力尽但耐心的推销
员仍在向人们示意让他搭车,同时给他们看那张
纸。我猛踩踏板,迫切地想尽快提供帮助。
建径,打造波澜剧情
getting in.When I pulled hard,my nose got in the
way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against
the table and moved my head around trying to find
the right angle,but it was no use."I can't get it
out!"I shouted,my voice sounding unnaturally
loud in the enclosed space.
分析:当“我”使劲拽(自已的头),“我”的鼻
子被南瓜卡住了一“我”转动头部试图找到合
适的角度,但没用—“我”大喊,声音在封闭的
空间里显得异常响亮(“我”的头部被卡在南瓜
里:“我”与南瓜“大战”)
3.形势变得紧急,决策刻不容缓
【典例】A few minutes later,the bear
headed back to our camp.The bear roared at us,
our frightened mouths wide open.My mind was
blank in panic.I just stood there in a daze.The
bear launched an attack to the fence,roaring.My
hand holding the camera began to shake.
分析:熊回到了我们的营地—熊向我们吼
叫—“我”陷入恐慌,头脑一片空白—“我”站
在那里发呆—熊咆哮着向栅栏发起攻击
“我”握着相机的手开始发抖(此情此景,决策刻
不容缓)
4.增加意外情节,营造困难境地
【典例】(2021·新高考I卷)The pan was
too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.
Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in
the other slice of bread.This time,she turned
down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot
and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the

porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna
panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned
off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.
Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue
to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand
touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.
Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then
she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The
piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
分析:锅太热了,面包几秒钟内就变黑了(障
碍1)—粥溢出,把火扑灭了(障碍2)—炉子
一片狼藉(障碍3)一杰夫的手碰到了火炉,疼
得大叫(障碍4)一锅里的面包又变黑了(障碍
5)》
技法2放大内心冲突
放大内心冲突(文中角色的内心斗争)有助
于抓住读者的心,让读者感同身受,同时有助于增
强故事的感染力。
【典例1】(2022·新高考I卷)We sat
down next to each other,but David wouldn't look
at me.He buried his head in his hands,sobbing.
“Do you fear the audience will laugh at you?”I
asked.He nodded and bit his lip,tears welling up
in his eyes.
分析:David不看“我”—埋头抽泣一点
头咬唇,泪水夺眶而出(David渴望参加越野跑比
赛,但又极度不自信的内心矛盾得以体现)
【典例2】(2022·浙江1月卷)Though I
wanted to share my ideas with him fully,I failed to
do so for fear that I would hold him back.I just
kept nodding when he asked me whether it was OK
to do this way or that way.I thought it was
impossible to persuade him into accepting my
views,so I didn't want to waste our time to
discuss.I started to wait to leave immediately we
arrived at the place,and so did he.I just hoped
that the presentation day could come earlier.
分析:“我”想分享观点但害怕犯错一点头
附议,不想浪费时间讨论—彼此希望合作结
178红网勾讲与练·高三二轮英语
束—“我”期盼展示的日子快点到来(作者通过
直白内心想法的方式,更真实地呈现了自已内心
矛盾冲突的逐渐升级:害怕合作一不想合
作—期盼合作早点结束)
【典例3】Immediately,an absolute darkness
ruled the forest.Jane,exhausted and scared,lay
down near a stone,missing her family at a
distance.All the fantastic memory crowded in and
she couldn't help crying,"Hadn't I quarrelled with
Tom,walked away and climbed to the high place,
I wouldn't be trapped in this awful place,
confronted with the danger of dying."She regretted
with endless anxiety,and then became asleep with
shining tears in her eyes.
分析:Jane独自行走,夜色渐黑一独处森
林—阴森恐怖—后悔莫及(作者通过内心独
白的方式,使用“往昔对比+虚拟语气+旁白描写”
的方式将冲突逐渐放大)
|技法3使用环境描写增加不确定性
充分利用环境描写可以烘托人物心情,增强
表达效果。当故事中人物在遇到困难时,我们可
以加大笔墨来描写故事环境。
【典例】The pay day arrived at last..
Excitement swept over me,for it was the first time
I had got paid for my work.While walking back
home,I felt the flowers lining the path look like
angels,swaying in the wind,dancing in the sun.I
conceived many plans about how to dispose of my
earnings.I needed a new football...I intended...
Bounding into the yard,I noticed my parents
standing beside the old truck with glum looks.I
realized something unpleasant happened."How
much do we still need to pay for a new truck?"
asked my mother anxiously.
分析:“我”领到第一份工资—一心情非常兴
奋—不愉快的事情发生(通过描写作者回家路
上看到的风景来衬托作者的兴奋心情,同时又反
衬了下面不愉快事情的发生,通过对比强化了故
事氛围)
