下面是语文迷小编为大家整理提供的英语写作技巧以及关联词,供大家阅读参考。
英语写作技巧之一:用介词短语替代从句,例:
原句:While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.
修改后:During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.
原句:When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.
修改后:At the second traffic light turn left.
英语写作技巧之二:删除诸如"who is”或"that is"之类的关系代词,变从句为短语,例:
句:The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.
修改后:The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.
注:把句中的"three parts"改用形容词来表达,节省了四个不必要的单词"which is written in"。我们经常可以将关系代词如"that"去掉,这只会引起最少的变动。
英语写作技巧之三:剔除你不需要的单词,例:
Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call.
写完这样的句子后,你自己再读一遍,挑出单词"joint"和"telephone",注意删去不必要的词。
关联词的积累
1.提出观点不要只用I think,要学会用:
As far as I am concerned
In my opinion
From my point of view
From my perspective
The way I see it
2.转折不要只用but, 要多用:
However,
nevertheless, nonetheless,
Whereas
Some people like fat meat, whereas other people hate it.
转折也可用比喻:as a coin has two sides(就象硬币有两面一样), …(陈述转折内容)
