英語四級(jí)作文備考技巧之簡潔
好的寫作，首先而且至關(guān)重要的一點(diǎn)就是簡潔。繁冗的寫作堆砌了許多無用的詞藻，反而減弱表述的清晰度。當(dāng)然，也不能僅僅因?yàn)楹喍叹驼J(rèn)為短句一定優(yōu)于長句。只要一個(gè)單詞確實(shí)能起到一定的作用，它就應(yīng)該留在句中。一般來說，只有在進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)或修飾、美化句子時(shí)，才能使用重復(fù)的單詞、語音和短語。修改文章，就是要?jiǎng)h繁就簡。比較下面這對(duì)句子，注意體會(huì)二者的差別及效果。
1) Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to Japan by means of a big boat.
2) Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to Japan by boat.
斜體字部分較啰嗦，因?yàn)?quot;by"就是"by means of boat"。
詞語簡化的一些技巧
策略之一：刪除諸如"who is”或"that is"之類的關(guān)系代詞，變從句為短語。
例:
Wordy: The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.
Better: The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.
注：把句中的”three parts”改用形容詞來表達(dá)，節(jié)省了四個(gè)不必要的單詞”which is written in”。我們經(jīng)常可以將關(guān)系代詞如”that”去掉，這只會(huì)引起最少的變動(dòng)。
策略之二：用介詞短語替代從句。
例:
Wordy: While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.
Better: During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.
Wordy: When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.
Better: At the second traffic light turn left.
策略之三：表達(dá)否定意義時(shí)，盡量避免使用否定詞。英語中很多詞不用 "no’s" 或者"not’s"也能表達(dá)否定含義的詞匯，你盡可以采取更為委婉的表達(dá)方式。
例：
Thus college students who do not have sufficient financial backing ,
也就是 college students who lacks sufficient financial backing。
如果你不想使用太多的否定詞，就應(yīng)該盡量避免使用它們。
策略之四：剔除你不需要的單詞
"Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call. "
寫完這樣的句子后，你自己再讀一遍，挑出單詞”joint”和”telephone”，注意刪去不必要的詞。
