学习英语造句的方法(3)
I like listening to cross talk.
Cross talk appeals to me.
我喜欢听相声。
I couldn’t say anything.
Words failed me.
我说不出话来。
很明显,每一组的后一个句子要比前者更生动、更形象、更精彩。
六. 使用非主语成分起草句子
这一条建议听起来更苛刻,因为我们“主语开头”的单一表达模式已经根深蒂固,很难改变和突破。然而,只要你刻意模仿,用心努力,获得地道的英语思维也不是不可能的。请看以下句子:
Generally speaking, men are stronger than women.
一般说来,男子比妇女强壮。
To make a long story short, they found the lost child at last.
长话短说,他们最后找到了那个失踪的男孩。
Gone are the days when we were discriminated.
我们受歧视的日子一去不复返了。
Not a single word did he say.
他一句话也没有说。
On the top of the hill stands a splendid tower.
山顶上矗立着一座壮观的塔。
True to his word, he arrived here on time.
他果然说话算数,按时来了。
Every now and then he went to the net café.
他不时地去网吧。
Located on the coast, the city enjoys convenient communications.
由于位于沿海,这个城市交通便利。
如果从以上几个方面去留心、注意并刻意培养,你的写作水平一定会有意想不到的提高。
