如今中國的學生們都需要學習英語,讓廣大童鞋們都苦不堪言,甭管公司需不需要你用到英語,出來找工作人家的第一句話就是,有英語四級證書么?這著實讓天朝的學子們痛不欲生。如果說還有什么比英語四級更折磨人的話,那就是英語六級了。這就是英語四級的進化版有木有!針對這種情況,譯雅馨翻譯公司專門整理了英語六級中寫作的一些小技巧。
在英語六級寫作當中,適當使用排比句,也就是我們平常說的平行結構 parallelism??梢允刮恼略錾簧?,美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬一向以演講著稱。以下,列舉奧巴馬講稿中的排比句予以彰示。
對奧巴馬當選后的獲勝演講,更多人關注的是演講內容,而我對其文章結構和語言的運用更感興趣,特別是其中的排比句。排比結構(parallelism)是英語演講中經常使用的一種重要修辭手段,它以語法結構對稱(包括相同或相似的詞、短語或分詞)來突出意義的常見修辭手法。運用排比結構能突出演講者的雄辯口才和強烈情感,使得演講文稿極具說服力、震撼力。
1.用在從句開頭(這是演講的第一段):
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
?。ㄗ⒁馄渲杏昧巳齻€不一樣的動詞)
2.用在段首:
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals, or a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
3.用在謂語中:
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
4.用在介詞短語中:
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
5.用在段末:
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that 'We Shall Overcome.' Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
奧巴馬的演講的最后,用一系列的 Yes we can 極其有效地煽動了臺下聽眾的熱情,當眾人最后一起高喊:Yes we can!的時候, 場面相當壯觀。
所以,同學們,用好排比將是英語六級寫作當中的一大亮點。它能為我們的作文增色不少,能大幅提高我們寫作部分的得分,加油,愿大家都能取得一個滿意的分數。
