除此之外,我们在具体写作的时候,还需要多多体会词的深刻含义。将词汇用到适合的场景中,准确地表达意思。请看下面一些例
子详解:
例 1:class
大家从小学开始就知道 class 有班的意思,但它的真实含义 是级的意思,而不是班。由级这个意思衍生出去,还有:课
程、班级、级别等意思。这些都是名词性的意思。
那么 classic 和 classical 这两个词都是 class 派生出的两个形容词。一个是经典的;一个是古典的。
同时 class 还派生出了 classify 的动词,意思是分级的意思。源于-ify 是动词后缀,表示“使…动”用法.这个动
词的名词形式是 classification.但是 classify 变成过去分词 classified,获得形容词性之后,意思也和原来大不一样,
表示:机密的。
在具体适用过程中根据不同的意思和词性去选择。
例 2:economy
这个词毫无悬念的是“经济”的意思。但是它的形容词有两种:economic 和 economical,形容词词尾 ic 和
ical 性质是一致的,但是上述两个词的意思却大相径庭。一个是:经济学的;一个是:划算的、经济的。正好和经济一词在汉语
中的意思是一样的,注意区别。
有了以上两个例子,再看看实际在句子中该如何操作:
例 3:许多人相信科技的最大弊端就是它可能会带来一些难以想象的消极影响。
上句一般采用宾语从句,而“弊端”一词是宾语从句的主语,能充当主语的无非是代词和名词,这里显然用名词:故选择
形容词:unimaginable.
Many people believe that the biggest disadvantage of science and technology is
that it may give rise to some unimaginative negative influence.
例 4:计算机会让人丧失想象力和创造力。
上句是个简单句,“想象力”和“创造力”都是宾语,自然选择的是名词性:imagination 和 creativity。
The use of computer will lose your imagination and creativity.
例 5:造成该现象的原因或许有许多
“造成”一词可能会让人想到“cause”但是,这里主语是“原因”,所以 cause 可以因句式的不同而采用不同的形式:
There are many causes to this phenomenon (名词)
The factors which can cause this phenomenon are numerous.(动词)
The factors causing this phenomenon are numerous.(现在分词)
例 6:博物馆可以发挥教育的作用
上句中的“教育的”做定语修饰“作用”,故选择形容词:educational。但也可以做名词。而“作用”我们可以换用意思
为“角色”的 role 一词。经典用法为:play…role in doing sth.
38
Museum can play a role in education
Museum can play an educational role.
必须强调一点英语主句中只能有一个谓语动词存在,如果需要用不止一个动词,则需要进行非谓语动词处理,或者放在从句
中间。非谓语动词包括:不定式(带 to 或者不带 to)、分词(现在分词和过去分词)、动名词。详细解释和从句部分请参看第一
章相关部分。

2.3 用词的多样化
在写作实践中,为了避免重复和表意丰富。我们往往可以选择多样化的表达方式,仔细体会一下下面例子中的选词,使得表意上
的细微差异:
例 1. The fog was so thick that we could not see anything.(dense)
The fog was so dense that we could not see anything.
例 2. You'd better take this table away. It takes too much room.(space)

例 7. It is generally/widely accepted that …(argued, held, believed)
40
It is generally/widely argued that
句子是灵活的,在具体写作实践中,词汇的多样性有很多的体现,再来看看一些例子的详解:
例 1. 我们确信幸福取决与不同的因素。
“确信”可以用许多不同的方式表达,例如:believe / be convinced / be confident / ensure 等。取决于可以
表达为:cause / lead / attribute to / achieve 等。不同可以用:diverse / different / various 等。我们
也可以把“幸福取决于”认为是“被定义为”这样的意思。
We are convinced that happiness can be achieved by different factors.
例 2. 为了解决这个问题,我们必须采取切实有效的措施。
我们都知道动词不定式提前表示目的,所以“解决”可以选择:solve / settle down /get rid of / fix up 等。“为
了”可以表达为:so as to / in order to / to solve 等。采取:carry out / conduct / take 等。措施:
way / method / means / approach / action 等。
那么对于“切实”这种意思怎么去说呢? 答案是“混凝土”一词:concrete,在做形容词的时候有:坚实的、切实的意思。有效
的 effective 注意和 efficient 区别。故有:
In order to solve this issue, we have to take concrete and effective actions.
例 3. 人们对于幸福的定义不同。
根据不同的句式表达效果可能不同:
People are different in defining happiness
People have different explanation on happiness.
The definition of happiness varies a lot from person to person.
例 4. 如果把所有的因素都考虑进去的话,前者更有说服力。
“把…列入考虑范围内”可以表达为:take sth. into account / take sth. Into consideration.
If we take all the factors into account, the former one will be more convincible.
例 5. 总之,我支持后者。
“总之”可以表达为:all in all / to sum up /generally speaking / anyway /in conclusion 等。“支
持”表达为:back up / support /advocate / hold / in favor of / vote for 等。
Anyway, I am in favor of the latter one.
词汇毕竟是有限,而句子意思是丰富的,通过词汇间一定的组合和连接——合成词,可以帮助我们解决表达多样性的需要。下面

2.4 词汇的感情性和艺术性
说话是有立场的,写作也一样,两者的差异仅限于语言的输出方式,其实质是一样的。这立场随着积极、消极、中立等态度的不同
而选择不同感情色彩的词,最终体现的效果也不同,成为一种艺术的体现,耐人寻味。这对考生的要求比较高,有了前面的基础,
这一节可谓一点就通,详情如下。
例 1. 那些在外国学习的孩子将有机会去体验一种完全不同的文化。
我们如何去感受词汇的感情色彩和艺术性呢,上面一句大家最直接的写法可能是:
Those children who study abroad have chances to experience a totally different
culture.
这个句子要写出来不难,但想想有没有其他的表达方式呢,例如这得的“有机会”难道只能用 have 吗?如果大家都有这个机会,
那么实际上大家是在“分享”它,所以能否用个 share 呢? 再看看“体验”我们是不是除了 experience 像不到其他表示体验、
经历的词语了呢?如果能理解体验不同的文化是种“享受”的话,效果就不同了;同理,不同的文化,“不同”只能用
totally、completely 等词语呢?用“五彩斑斓”不好吗? 如下:
Those who study abroad will share the chance to enjoy cultures of different colors.
例 2. 那些国防力量薄弱的国家在国际事务中将没有发言权。
有了例 1 的经验,我们再来看这句, 薄弱如何表示?weak?不难想到可以用 poor。国际事物的事物,对词义把握准确的
话,应该想到了 affairs,甚至有人会想到:issue / event 等词。发言权可以表示为:rights to speak;“没有”,大
家都容易想到:in lack of 这样的结构,或者 without 等,请看下面例句:
试比较:
1. Those countries which ( who) is weak in national defense will have no rights to
speak in international affairs.
2. In international arena, poor defense power loses a country its rights to make it
heard.
有了前面两个例子比较详细的解释,下面的例子大家应该可以自己去好好体会这种情感和表意的艺术性,它不仅体现在词语本身,
有的时候也可以通过句子结构和变化来实现,例如:
例 3. 互联网的快速发展使得人们可以享受到更加美好的生活成为可能。
试比较:
1. The eye-dazzling development of internet makes it true for people to enjoy a
better life.
2. The fast development of internet makes it possible for people.
例 4. 我想列出的第一点好处是发展国际旅游业将会促进经济的发展。
试比较:
1. The first advantage that I want to point out is that developing international tourism
will stimulate the development of economy.
2. I am going to list out my first favor to boost the economy, which is to develop
international tourism.
例 5. 更糟糕的是,由于缺乏经验,许多青少年无法明辨是非。
试比较:
43
1. The worst thing is that many juveniles cannot, due to the lack of experience, judge
what should be right or right.
2. What’s worse, due to the lack of experience, many young people lose their way to
tell what is right or wrong.
2.5 段落分析
段落一:
Those in favor of the idea about usage of animal declare that using animal is an
advisable choice. On one hand because their bodies function similar to ours, for
instance, they catch colds, suffer from abnormally stomachs and heart diseases, which
more importantly influenced by diet and habits. The consequences of the test may not
be applied to humans, although they are highly connected to the human situations. On
the other hand, those creatures yell and act when they feel uncomfortable, this is what
exactly researchers expect. In addition, there is an easy-to-answer question: isn’t it
crueler to test directly on people with little knowledge on the objects’ effects? In a
word, there is nothing better than animal that resemble human the best for experiment
词汇分析:
In favor of 这里没有用 support 这样的常见的词表示支持,也没有用大家熟知的 hold 。而是一个短语:in favor
of。请联想下其他的可以表示支持的词:advocate / vote for 甚至是:insist / persist 等都可以表示支持、主张的意
思。
这里适用的是名词形式,其动词 choose,还有其他表示选择的是:alternative / option / select /elect / pick
up
打个比方,举个例子,没有使用:for example 也没有选择一贯写作中常见的:take sth. as an example.
经受…的痛苦 适用 suffer from 这个搭配很好。后面紧接着 abnormal 这个雅思核心词,表示不正常的。
Sequence 本身有顺序的意思。而 consequence 就是随之而来的结果,但是则重于不好的结果——后果。
影响有些什么词呢:influence / impact /affect 等
生物生灵;creature ,嚎叫,大叫:yell
Yell at sb.对着某人怒吼。
合成词: easy –to-answer 变成形容词性的词语,作定语。
Knowledge 这里不是知识的意思,而是引申为知道知晓。相当于 know.
用了 resemble 表示类似,而非 similar.
段落二:
Based on the above analysis, I am fully convinced that immediate measures should be
taken to combat the situation. Priority should be given to restricting violence and
pornographic contents on TV or avoiding youngster from being exposed to them,
thereby preventing students from imitating them. Also, despite that parents are busy,
they should spend more time on their offspring’s and give them more concern and
love, then youngsters would be more considerate of others and more sociable and
responsible. Finally, to schools, it is imperative that they should shoulder their
responsibilities to instruct youngsters to establish a positive outlook on life and keep
them from going astray.
词汇分析:
analysis 这里因需要适用名词,切勿用为动词 analyze
convince 相信不一定就是 believe,还可以 assure / ensure / insist…等都可以。
44
immediate 没有用习惯性的副词性 immediately ,这里做了定语。方式方法有许多备选单词:way / approach /
method 等
combat 而不是 fight
priority 重中之重,当务之急,首要任务
限制有很多备选词:restrict / restrain / limit / confine
pornography 色情 黄色 expose 暴露,很形象的表达了他们的状态。
prevent…from doing sth. 经典结构,避免做某事。
offspring 下面的泉水就是子嗣和子女,或后代的意思。很形象!
由 consider 变来的 considerate 表示考虑周到,体贴的意思。social / responsible 形容词做表语。
imperative 必要的、急切的。没有选择:necessary / significant 等
instruct 指导、说明
out look 观点 展望 见解
astray 歧途、迷路
第三章 句子写作提升
3.1 强调句式
强调句是一种修辞,是人们为了表达自己的意愿或情感而使用的一种形式,主要有如下几种形式:
3.1.1.用助动词“do(does/did)+动词原形”来表示强调:
1. There is no doubt that the extra curriculum does cultivate students’
interpersonal ability.
毋庸置疑课外活动的确能培养学生们的人际关系能力。
2. Energy-consuming industry did contribute a lot to the economy booming in the
last two decades, whereas we have to reconsider it now.
诚然能源消耗工业在过去二十年里对经济做出了相当的贡 献,但 现在我们得重新考虑。
3. As is known to all, languages do reflect the culture and custom behind them.
众所周知,语言能反映出其背后的文化与习俗。
4. The views of children do matter, but in many cases society is right to
leave the decisions to others.
孩子的意见固然重要,但很多时候社会有必要把决定权留给 其他人。
3.1.2.用 it is 引出强调结构
1. It is the lessons and subjects at school that are often necessary for children to be
successful when they are older.
学校里的课程和科目往往是孩子们将来成功所必须的。
2. It is the mobile phone that enables people to keep in touch anywhere and
anytime.
手机让人随时随地与人保持联系。
3. It is artists who satisfy our spiritual chasing and enrich our lives.
艺术家满足我们的精神追求并丰富我们的生活。
4. It is mandatory retirement that frustrates the elder staffs who still want to make
contribution to the society.
强制退休让那些还想继续为社会做贡献的老年员工感到沮丧。
(注意:构成强调句的 it 本身没有词义;强调句中的连接词一般只用 that, who,即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此,
that, who 不可省略;强调句中的时态只用两种,一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去
45
进行时,用 It was ... ,其余的时态用 It is ... 。)
3. It was not until the first moon exploration that human beings had the chance to
view the earth from a different angle.
人类直到第一次探月才有机会从不同的视角审视地球。
(注意:此句型只用 until,不用 till。但如果不是强调句型,till, until 可通用;因为句型中 It is/ was not ... 已经
是否定句了,that 后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句了。)
强调方式 1:Our future generations, by the very knowledge we gain regarding the distant
space, will benefit in mankind’s pursuit to further advancement to discover the
unknown.
46
强 调 方 式 2 : It is by the knowledge that we gain regarding the distant space that will
benefit our future generations in mankind’s pursuit to further advancement to discover
the unknown.
现在我们看看强调句是如何在段落中发挥作用的。
例 1:
Initially, violence and sex shown on television may result in higher rate of crimes and
encourages antisocial behaviour. This is especially evident in certain western
countries, since many criminals confess it is TV that encourages their violent
actions or attitudes towards the society. What’s more, a big part of TV audience
consists of teenagers, and this group is especially vulnerable to the violence and
various stereotypes promoted by TV, because the mentality of young people is in the
process of formation. The rate of such crimes is constantly growing and increasingly
they are often committed by teenagers. This is becoming a great problem of modern
society.
例 2:
Admittedly, space exploration is marvelous to human, but it should not undergo at the
expense of the present. The dreams of exploring space are a luxury that we cannot
afford. Specifically, our world is marred by war, famine and poverty; millions of
people are struggling simply to survive from day to day. Hence, it is not until we
have addressed the problems we face on Earth that we will have the ability to
explore the universe.
例 3:
Giving a greater place in education to the co-curriculum means that many more clubs
and activities will have to be organised for students. This will be such expensive that
it will require more staff and more resources to be paid for. This explains why most
schools that currently offer a large co-curriculum are well-funded fee-paying
institutions. Most ordinary schools, dependent on state-funding, will never be able to
match this spending and could not aim to offer an ambitious co-curriculum. If they
try, it will be at the expense of more important academic activities.
实际上除了上述几种表示强调的句型以外,还可以用倒装的形式来突出强调的部分,关于倒装句我们在下一节中会重点探讨。
3.2 倒装句式
倒装是一种语法手段,用以表示一定句子结构的需要和强调某一句子成分的需要。英语的最基本结构是主、谓结构,倒装就是将这种
47
比较固定的结构加以颠倒。英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装,二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。前一种情况,
倒装是必须的,否则就会出现语法错误;后一种情况,倒装是选择性的,倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。
3.2.1.将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来,叫做完全倒装(Complete Inversion)。 具体如下
1.in, out, up/down, bang, away 方位副词或拟声词放句首,而且谓 语动词是表示动作的不及物动词,要
用全部倒装。
如: Bang went the firecracker.
In came the girls, singing and talking.
Following a roar, out rushed a tiger from among the bushes.
2. 以作状语的介词短语开头:当主语较长或主语所带修饰语较长时, 为了使句子平衡,常将状语置于句首,句子用完全倒装语序。
这是 我们需要掌握的。
A. Near the school locate some net-bars, which will distract students from study.
B. Some net-bars locate near the school, which will distract students from study.
学校附近有网吧,会使学生偏离学习的轨道。
从例句中可看出, 采用倒装语序的 A 句结构平衡稳妥 ,读起来自然流畅,而采用自然语序的 B 句结构零乱, 读起来也别扭。因而,
在主语较长时就应采用倒装语序以取得理想的表达效果。
3. 以表语开头的句子:有时为了把较长的主语放在后面,须将表语和 谓语都提到主语前。
Exhausted would be the energy on earth in the future.
地球将来的能源会耗尽。
(3) Only by living and studying in a country for a certain period can a person
master this language completely.
一个人只有去到另外一个国家学习和生活一段时间才能完全掌握 这门语言。
6. 前置
(1) the more… the more…
1) The more books one reads, the more knowledge he has.
一个人书读得越多,他知道的就越多。
2) The fewer plastic bags we use,the fewer environment problems we suffer.

3) The more the rich countries offer,the more the poor countries depend.
富国给的帮助越多,穷国的依赖就越大。
4) The longer the prison term is, the more frustrated the criminals would be.

autism.
尽管很多明星都很富有,但他们承担了很多孤独甚至自闭。

continuing their further education studies due to the financial stress.
尽管贫困地区的孩子学习优秀,但他们由于经济负担而不能继续 学习。
3) Beneficial though co-curriculum is to high school students, it will take up
them a lot to time.
尽管课外活动有益于高中生,但会占据学生们很多的时间。
3.3 省略句式
省略句是我们在学习英语过程中能不断体验收获和趣味的一种惯用手法,无论是说话还是写作,都要求生动活泼,简明扼要。按照
语法的分析, 有时句子应具备的成分出于修辞上的需要, 会缺少一个或几个句子语法结构所必要的语言成分,但在一定语境中可独立
存在,仍能表达其意义完整并发。
3.3.1. 谓语的省略

这个孩子想发展自己的爱好,而他的父母不允许他这样做。
(此句中 not to 后省略了和上文相重复的 develop his own interest.)

years.

dramatically from 1999 to 2009.
从 1999 年到 2009 年,白色家电消费量猛增。
(4) 有 had better, would rather, can’t but 或 Why not 等句型后面直接跟动词原形,实际上是接省 to 的不
定式。

had better prepare the exams carefully.

unnecessary goods just because of the alluring advertisements.

(而当 spend money in doing sth. 结构用于被动语态时 in 不能省略

51
just because of the alluring advertisements. )
2) 有些动词、名词、形容词习惯搭配介词短语, 在以 what, when, how, whether, that 出现的从句或不定式短
语之前有时被省略介词短语 as to.

结论
“省略”不仅是一种以无为有的表达方法, 更是一种简便至极, 虽无胜有的修辞手段。 大文豪莎士比亚有句名言:Brevity is
the soul of wit. 意为:“言以简洁为贵”。 尤其对学习语言并以此为乐的英语学员们来说甚有同感!“简洁”二字并非简洁,
而真要做到“简”得恰到好处、“洁”得恰如其分,省略法的研究与掌握是势在必行且乐在其中的事。

第四章 段落写作拓展
4.1 句子组合技巧
在雅思写作中,雅思句子可长可短,同一件事,可以用不同的句式表达。如果句子清一色是简单句,文章必定很单调乏味。如果全
篇充满了冗长的复杂句,读起来也很费力。最好的方法是以简单句为基础,配合适当的并列句和复杂句。简单句可长可短,通常要
加些附属成分,如分词短语、介词短语、副词短语、不定式动词短语,以及节缩成分。
例如下列五个句子的基本概念一样,但是句式不同,内容重点也有些差别:
(1) The goats grazed peacefully in the farm and were unaware of the approaching
hunter. (并列分句(1)+2)
(2) Grazing peacefully, the goats in the farm were unaware of the approaching
hunter. (现在分语短语+简单句)
(3) In the farm, the goats grazed peacefully and were unaware of the approaching
hunter. (副词短语+并列分句(1)-(2) )
(4) There were goats grazing peacefully in the farm, unaware of the approaching
hunter. (简单句+形容语短语)
(5) As the goats grazed peacefully in the farm, they were unaware of the
approaching hunter. (原因副词从句+主句)
(1)和(5)的句式最常见;如果加上其他三种互相交替,句子会更多样化
(6) The young pilot was on his first overseas training.
(7) He felt very uneasy.
我们可以将它们变成一下这几种:
(a) The young pilot on his first overseas training felt very uneasy.
55
(b) The young pilot felt very uneasy during his first overseas training.
(c) The young pilot's first overseas training made him feel very uneasy.
(d) Extreme uneasiness seized the young pilot on his first overseas training.
(e) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, feeling very uneasy.
(f) It being his first overseas training, the young pilot felt very uneasy.
(g) Being on his first overseas training, the young pilot felt very uneasy.
(h) The young pilot was on his first overseas training and felt very uneasy.
(i) The young pilot, who was on his first overseas training, felt very uneasy.
(j) When the young pilot was on his/first overseas training, he felt very uneasy.
(k) As the young pilot was on his first overseas training, he felt very uneasy.
(l) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, so that he felt very uneasy.
在上述 12 个句子中,(a)-(g)是简单句;(h)是并列句;(i)-(l)是复杂句。简单句除(b)和(g)之外,其他五种并不常
见。
B. 60%的同学认为公园不应该收费。
Sixty percent of the students think that the park should not charge entrance fees.
Sixty in [out of] one hundred students hold the view that entrance fees should not be
charged for parks.
Three fifths of the students believe that a park should be free of charge.
Three in [out of] five students are against the idea of entrance fees.
In the opinion of 60% of the students, people can enter parks for free [nothing].
60% of the students have the idea that people should be allowed to enter parks
without charge.
4.2 怎样构建复合句及多重复合句
复合句中包含有两个或更多的主谓结构,其中,有一个(或更多的)主谓结构充 当句子的某一(些)成分,如主语、宾语、定语、
状语、同位语等。充当一个句子成分的主谓结构称为从句。由于从句在句子中的成分不同,可分为主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句,
定语从句和同位语从句等。有时复合句的一个(多个)从句可能包含有一个(或多个)从句,即从句里套着从从句,这种句子称为
多重复合句。多重复合句句式复杂,是同学们阅读的难点。对付复合句及多重复合句的方法是,先抓住主干,即抓住主句,然后再
识别从句的类型,进而搞懂整句话的意思。大部分题目的答案来自主句,但也有一部分题 目的答案来自从句。
1. interests are needs,desires,concerns,fears——the things
one cares about or wants
中文译文:利益是需要、渴望、关注、恐惧——一个人关心或想要的东西。
结构分析:one cares about or wants 是 the things 的定语从句。
2. another interests-based procedure is mediation, in which a third party assists the
disputants, the two sides in the dispute,in reaching-agreement
中文译文: 另一个基于利益的过程叫作调解,在调解中第三方帮助冲突者,即冲突的双方, 达成一致。
结构分析: in which 引出的定语从句 in which a third party assists
the disputants,the two sides in the dispute,in reaching-agreement 是对 mediation 的解释,
在定语从句中,the two sides in the dispute 是 disputants 的同位语,同时也是插入语结构。
3. It is often complicated to attempt to determine who is right in a dispute 中文译文:试图
决定谁在冲突中是正确的通常很复杂。
56
结构分析:it 是形式主语,实际主语是不定式短语 to attempt to determine who is right in a dispute,宾语
从句 who is right 是 determine 的宾语。4.although it is usually straight forward where righ
ts are formalized in law,other rights take the form of unwritten but
socially accepted standards of behavior,such as
reciprocity,precedent,equality,and seniority
中文译文:虽然当对错在法律中被正式规定时,通常是很直截了当的,但其它的,但其它的对错采取的是非书面的、社会接受大行
为标准,例如:互惠、先例、平 等和资历。结构分析:although 引导一个让步状语从句,注意本句的最后有一个 such
as,是例如的意思,后面的内容往往是举例说明,属于不重要的内容,可不作 为阅读的重点,socially accepted 是
standards of behavior 的前置定语。
5. research studies lend strong support to the argument that there are benefits for fam
ilies considering a change to a fairer or more equitable division of the pleasures and p
ains of family life
中文译文:研究表明快乐和痛苦能够平等分担的家庭会受益。
结构分析:that there are benefits for families considering a
change to fairer or more equitable division of the pleasures and pains of family life
是 that 引导的同位语从句做 argument 的同位语。在同位语从句中, considering a change to fairer or m
ore equitable division of the pleasures and pains of family life 是现在分词短语做 families 的
后置定语。
小窍门
初看起来,引导的同位语从句特别像定语从句。区别一个从句是同位语还是定语 从句的方法是:引导的同位语从句中,只是连接词,
它不在从句中做任何句子成分,所以同位语都是完整句,而引导的定语从句中,要做句子成分(主语或宾语),所以引导的定语从
句都是不完整句(缺主语或缺宾语)。
6. paper is also biodegradable, so it does not pose as much
threat to the environment when it is discarded
中文译文:纸张还是可生物降解的,所以当我们把它扔掉的时候,它不会对环境造成很大的威胁。
结构分析:是多重复合句。结果状语从句(由 so 引导)中套着一个时间状语从句(由 when 引导)。biodegradable 是
一个生词,可以用构词法猜测它的意思,主干部分是 grade,意思是“级别”,degrade 表示“降级”,able 表示“能…
…、可……”,bio 表示“生命的,生物的”,所以此词的意思是“可生物降解的”。
C.合句法
英汉两种语言的句子结构不完全相同,尽管英语句子日趋简洁,但是从句套从句,短语含短语的句型也是频频出现。一般而
言,一个英语句子的信息包含量要大于一个汉语句子,因此,我们在做汉译英的时候,常常把汉语的两个句子,甚至更多句子,合
译成英语的一句。使用合句法还可以使译文紧凑、简练。如以下三个例子:
例 6:一代人与一代人之间的冲突,也就是年轻人与老年人的冲突,似乎是最可笑的。因为这就是现在的自己与将来的自己,或者
说过去的自己与现在的自己的冲突。(在关联词处合译)
A conflict between the generations between youth and age seems the most
stupid, for it is one between oneself as one is and oneself as one will be, or between
oneself as one was and oneself as one is.
57
例 7:对我来说,我的水族箱就像我自己的一个小王国。我就是里面的国王。(从主语变换处合译)
To me my aquarium is like my own little kingdom where I am king.
例 8:第二天,我又接到一个电报。这个电报有 34 个字,比前一个电报说得更详细。(按内容连贯合译)
The following day I received another telegram consisting of 34 ciphers, giving
more details.
