考完托福,也有时间写点东西.想就英语写作方面谈点个人的心得体会.
一、英语写作的特点.
The characteristics of formal writing
1.名词化趋势
I do not eat much.-->I am a light eater.
The clock on the desk reminds me of time.-->I put a clock on the desk as a reminder of time.
We once cried, laughed and disappointed.-->There were moments of tears, moments of laughter, and moments of disappointment.
注意:名词化趋势的句子当然还有动词, 目的是尽量把表达句子中心意思的那个词汇用名词表达.符合英文的习惯.
2.无灵主语(区别于被动语态)
我们中文写作中,习惯以人做主语,而英文则相反,习惯以物做主格.
More and more young students studied further in the past two decades.
-->The past two decades witness target=_blank class=infotextkey>witnessed a growing number of young students for further study.
Looking out of the window, you will have a nice view.
-->A glance out of the window offers you a nice view.
