英文写作终极指南：简洁才是王道！(双语

What is good writing?

什么样的文章是好文章？

It depends on what country you’re from. We all know what’s considered “good writing” in our own country. We grow up immersed in the cadences and sentence structure of the language we were born into, so we think, “That’s probably what every country considers good writing; they just use different words.” If only! I once asked a student from Cairo, “What kind of language is Arabic?” She said, “It’s all adjectives.”

这取决于你来自何处。我们都知道在自己的国家好文章是什么样的。我们从小到大，已经熟知我们母语的抑扬顿挫和句子结构，于是我们认为，其他国家所谓的好文章也应该是这样，只不过用的语言不同。要是这样就好了！我有次问一个来自开罗的学生：“阿拉伯语是什么样的语言？”她回答说：“都是形容词。”

Well, of course it’s not all adjectives, but I knew what she meant: it’s decorative, it’s ornate, it’s intentionally pleasing. But all those adjectives and all that decoration would be the ruin of any journalist trying to write good English. No proverbs, please.

当然，不可能都是形容词，我知道她的意思：阿拉伯语是一种注重雕饰和阅读快感的语言。但是太多形容词和太多雕饰都不利于英文的新闻写作。千万别使用那么多谚语。

Spanish also comes with a heavy load of beautiful baggage that will smother any journalist writing in English.

西班牙语也一样，有太多不利于英文写作的修饰语。

English is not as musical as Spanish, or Italian, or French, or as ornamental as Arabic, or as vibrant as some of your native languages. But I’m hopelessly in love with English because it’s plain and it’s strong. It has a huge vocabulary of words that have precise shades of meaning; there’s no subject, however technical or complex, that can’t be made clear to any reader in good English—if it’s used right. Unfortunately, there are many ways of using it wrong. Those are the damaging habits I want to warn you about today.

英语不像西班牙语、意大利语或者法语那样富有音律美，也不像阿拉伯语那样华丽，可能也不像你们的母语那样生动鲜活，但我就是无可救药地热爱英语，因为它平实有力，拥有海量意义鲜明的词汇。描述一样事物，不管多高科技多复杂，在标准英语中读者都看懂——如果描述准确。不幸的是很多人都不能正确使用英语。以下就是我希望大家避免的一些错误习惯。

First, a little history. The English language is derived from two main sources. One is Latin, the other is Anglo-Saxon. The words derived from Latin are the enemy—they will strangle and suffocate everything you write. The Anglo-Saxon words will set you free.

首先，了解英语的历史。英语来源于拉丁语和安格鲁-撒克逊语。来自拉丁语的单词是我们的宿敌——它们会使你的写作佶屈聱牙。安格鲁-撒克逊语才能解开你的束缚。

How do those Latin words do their strangling and suffocating? In general they are long, pompous nouns that end in -ion—like implementation and maximization and communication (five syllables long!)—or that end in -ent—like development and fulfillment. Those nouns express a vague concept or an abstract idea, not a specific action that we can picture. Here’s a typical sentence: “Prior to the implementation of the financial enhancement.” That means “Before we fixed our money problems.”

拉丁词语是怎么束缚你的文体的呢？一般来说都是些长并华而不实的单词，以ion结尾，像implementation、maximization、communication（五个音节那么长！）或者以ent结尾，像development和fulfillment。这些词语描述的都是一个模糊或抽象的概念，不是我们能够明确说明的行动。一个典型句子就是：财政强化计划实施之前。其实就是说：解决钱的问题之前。

Believe it or not, this is the language that people in authority in America routinely use. They think those long Latin words make them sound important. It no longer rains in America; your TV weatherman will tell that you we’re experiencing a precipitation probability situation.

不管你信不信，这些就是美国的高层人士常用语。他们认为这些长长的拉丁单词能突显自己的身份。美国已经没有下雨这一说了，天气预报员只会提到降水概率这个词。

I’m sure all of you, newly arrived in America, have already been driven crazy trying to figure out the instructions for ordering a cell phone or connecting your computer, or applying for a bank loan or a health insurance policy, and you assume that those of us who were born here can understand this stuff. I assure you that we don’t understand it either.

我相信你们所有人刚来美国的时候，都曾为订购手机、上网、申请银行贷款、购买健康保险的流程说明而抓狂，并认为我们美国人读得懂这些东西。其实我们一样看不懂。

Those long Latin usages have so infected everyday language in America that you might well think, “If that’s how people write who are running the country, that’s how I’m supposed to write.” It’s not. Let me read you two typical letters I recently received in the mail. (I keep letters like this and save them in a folder that I call “Bullshit File.”)
这些拉丁词在日常英语中的大量使用也许让你产生错觉，认为“如果统领这个国家的人是用这些词写作的，那么我也应该这样写作。”不是这样的。我来给你们读两封此类典型的电子邮件吧。（我会保存这一类的邮件，放在一个命名为“废话”的文件夹里。）
The first one is from the president of a private club in New York. It says, “Dear member: The board of governors has spent the past year considering proactive efforts that will continue to professionalize the club and to introduce efficiencies that we will be implementing throughout 2009.” That means they’re going to try to make the club run better
第一封来自纽约一家私人俱乐部的老板：“亲爱的会员：在过去的一年里董事会一直在考虑如何做出更积极的努力以继续增强俱乐部的职能以及2009年将落实的各项便利措施。”这其实表示说他们将努力使俱乐部运营得更好。
A letter from my investment counsel says:
我的私人投资顾问来信说：
“As we previously communicated, we completed a systems conversion in late September. Data conversions involve extra processing and reconciliation steps.
“正如我们之前所商谈过的，我们于九月底完成了系统转换。数据转换还牵涉了额外步骤和调节措施。
[translation: it took longer than we thought it would to make our office operate better]
翻译：改进我们的工作所花费的时间比预计要长。
We apologize if you were inconvenienced as we completed the verification process.
如果在核准系统期间您感到不方便，我们对此致以歉意。
[we hope we’ve got it right now]
翻译：我们希望现在一切正常。
Further enhancements will be introduced in the next calendar quarter.
下一季度我们将继续改进。
[we’re still working on it]. ”
翻译：我们还在研究这事。
Notice those horrible long Latin words:
看看这些吓人的拉丁词：
mmunicated, conversion, reconciliation, enhancements, verification.
商谈，转换，调节，改进，核准。
So if those are the bad nouns, what are the good nouns? The good nouns are the thousands of short, simple, infinitely old Anglo-Saxon nouns that express the fundamentals of everyday life: house, home, child, chair, bread, milk, sea, sky, earth, field, grass, road … words that are in our bones, words that resonate with the oldest truths. Don’t try to find a noun that you think sounds more impressive or “literary.” Short Anglo-Saxon nouns are your second-best tools as a journalist writing in English.
如果这些都是不合适的词语，那么哪些才是合适的词呢？就是能够表达基本日常生活的几千个简短而古老的安格鲁-撒克逊名词：房子，家庭，孩子，椅子，面包，牛奶，大海，天空，大地，田野，小草，马路……这些我们铭记于心、回响着古老真理的词。不要试图找一个你觉得更让人印象深刻或更“文学”的词。短小的安格鲁-撒克逊词是你在进行新闻写作时第二位的好帮手。
What are your best tools? Your best tools are short, plain Anglo-Saxon verbs. I mean active verbs, not passive verbs. If you could write an article using only active verbs, your article would automatically have clarity and warmth and vigor.


你最好的帮手又是什么呢？简短平易的安格鲁-撒克逊动词。我说的是主动态动词，不是被动态。如果你能写一篇全用主动态的文章，那肯定是一篇清晰、亲切又有力的好文章。
One of my favorite writers is Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau’s writing moves with simple strength because he uses one active verb after another to push his meaning along.  Here’s a famous sentence from him:
Henry David Thoreau是我最喜欢的作家之一。Thoreau的文笔简洁而遒劲，因为他总是使用主动态来传情达意。下面是他写的一个很有名的句子：
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of nature, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
我去森林是因为我希望在思考中生活，只面对最真实的自然本质。我想看我是不是能学到自然教与我的东西，不希望在我临死时发现自己从未真正活过。
Now let me turn that sentence into the passive:
现在把主动态都换成被动态：
A decision was made to go to the woods because of a desire for a deliberate existence and for exposure to only the essential facts of life, and for possible instruction in its educational elements, and because of a concern that at the time of my death the absence of a meaningful prior experience would be apprehended.
由一个于思考中生活并面对真实的自然本质的想法催生出前往森林的决定，能够受教其中也是原因之一，此外还出于对临死时懊悔没有真正活过的担忧之情。
All the life has been taken out of the sentence. But what’s the biggest thing I’ve taken out of that sentence? I’ve taken Thoreau out of that sentence. He’s nowhere to be seen.
这个句子立马变得没有生机。但是我从中剥离的最大元素是什么？是Thoreau。整句中完全不见说话人的身影。
So fall in love with active verbs. They are your best friends.
总之，建立起你与主动态动词的关系，它们才是你最好的朋友。  拿来就用：研英写作常用100句精选

语作文常见典型语法错误归纳

　

写作技巧：教你如何写出地道的英语句子

在表达方面，初学者常见差错中最为典型的是写汉语式英语，即不符合英语表达习惯的句子。出现汉语式英语的原因往往表现在两个方面，一个是把具有某个汉语释义的英语单词用在英语句子中不恰当的地方，即写错某些词语的意思、搭配或位置；另一个是按汉语思维的顺序去排列英语句子，自造表达方法。
　　请看下列例句：
　　1.During the holiday， I learned to wrap dumplings.
　　2.My grandpa sees the gate for a factory.
　　3.She received the first place in the singing competition.
　　4.Under the teacher's help I worked out the difficult problem.
　　5.In the afternoon， I played table-tennis with Xiao Ming and I always won him.
　　6.The man dresses a black coat.
　　7.The policeman caught the thief's arm.
　　8.I very like English.
　　9.He wastes sleep and forgets meals when he studies.
　　10.Our Chinese teacher bites his words and sentences when he speaks.
在以上的句子中，例句1至8属于第一种错误。
　　其中，第1至4例句是把英语单词的一个汉语释义生硬地放在了英语句子中。
1. 汉语中的“包饺子”是指从无到有地把饺子做出来，制做过程是“包”；而英语的wrap是指把现有的东西包起来，只有“包”这个意思，没有制做的意思。所以例句1中的wrap应该改为make.
2. 例句2中“看门”的“看”是“看守”的意思，并不是一直用眼睛盯着看。所以应该把sees改为keeps或guards.
3. 例句3中的receive是指“得到”具体的物件，不是抽象的名次。获得什么名次要说成get/take/win the……place.
4. 例句4是要说“在老师的帮助下，我解出了那道难题”，其实前半句是指“借助于老师的帮助”的意思，应该把under改为with.
5. 例句5是用错了英语单词的搭配。本句中的won只能用运动项目或活动作宾语，不能是人。要说“赢了某人”应该说成beat sb.。
    例句6至8不符合英语的表达习惯。
6. 第6句中的dress不能在其后直接跟衣服名称，其常见的结构是“dress sb. in+衣服名称”。所以本句应该改为：The man dresses himself in a black coat.英语中要说“抓住某人的胳膊”，句型应该是catch sb. by the arm .
7. 例句7应该改为：The policeman caught the thief by the arm.需要注意的其他常用动词结构还有cost sb. sth.，hit sb. in the face等。
8. 例句8中very是副词，但习惯上只用来修饰形容词或其他副词，不用来修饰动词。修饰动词要用very much，而且常置于句末。
汉语句子中某些词语出现在某一位置，在英语句子中表示同一个意思的词语不一定也在那个位置上。所以一定要注意英汉句子词序的差别。写错词序也是一种典型的错误。再如要说“我对他很熟悉”，英语应该是I know him very well.而不是I very well know him. 通过对以上各个例句的分析，不难看出，要学好用英语表达，必须先学好英语单词的确切含义、词语搭配、习惯用法以及英语句子的词序。其中动词是最主要的。另外，还要特别注意英语的代词和冠词的使用。
9. 例句9、10犯了第二种错误，这两个句子的黑体部分分别要表达汉语成语“废寝忘食”和“咬文嚼字”。两个句子本来应该是：He forgets to eat and sleep when he studies.和Our Chinese teacher pays too much attention to wording when he speaks.但根据汉语硬套英语，结果不伦不类。
　　初学写短文时，总是跃跃欲试，想什么就打算写什么，这种积极性是好的。但一定要从现有表达能力的实际出发，尽量不去表达复杂的意思。有时不得不表达复杂些的意思时，在不改变原意的前提下，首先要避难就易，绕道而行之，即把复杂的意思用类似的简单意思表达；其次可以化整为零，分解表达，把复杂的意思用几个简单的句子表达出来。初学写作不要使用自己拿不准的词汇，多使用常见的词语，灵活运用已学过的知识，表达明确的意义，从简单句子入手，不写没把握的句子，少写长句子，尽量避免试图表达比较复杂的思想内容。另外，短文不宜写得过长，要从简从短练起。经常训练病句改错题，模仿范文，写英语日记等，都有助于练习英语短文写作。

语言是评判作文的一个极其重要的因素。在实际的阅卷过程中，语法错误，尤其是较为严重的错误，是阅卷人员的主要“照顾点”，有时甚至是惟一的点；当然那样处理是有道理的，大家可以设想一下，一篇语法上漏洞百出、严重影响表达的作文又会有什么样的好内容呢？如果因为语言上的错误而导致失分，那将得不偿失。因此，认清各种各样的语法错误，尽可能地避免少犯，对于提高作文分是有极大的帮助的。现将我们在阅卷过程中所发现的大量语言错误逐一归类，抽出其中的典型错误，以警示大家，供参考。
　　1.句子成分残缺不全
　　We always working till late at night before taking exams。(误)
　　We are always working /We always work till late at night before taking exams(正)
　　We should read books may be useful to us. (误)
　　We should read books which may be useful to us. (正)
　　2.句子成分多余
　　This test is end, but there is another test is waiting for you. (误)
　　One test ends, but another is waiting for you. (正)
　　The driver of the red car was died on the spot. (误)
　　The driver of the red car died on the spot. (正)
　　3.主谓不一致
　　Someone/Somebody think that reading should be selective. (误)
　　Some think that reading should be selective. (正)
　　My sister go to the cinema at least once a week. (误)
　　My sister goes to the cinema at least once a week. (正)
　　4.动词时态、语态的误用
　　I was walking along the road, and there are not so many cars on the street. (误)
　　I was walking along the road and there were not so many vehicles on the street. (正)
　　We have little time to read some books which we interest. (误)
　　We have little time to read some books in which we are interested. (正)
　　I am a student who has studying in the college for two years. (误)
　　I have been studying in the college for two years(正)
　　5.词类混淆
　　It is my point that reading must be selectively. (误)
　　In my opinion, reading must be selective. (正)
　　Honest is so important for everyperson. (误)
　　Honesty is so important for everyone. (正)
　　The old man was hit by a car when he across the street. (误)
　　The old man was hit by a car when he was crossing the street. (正)

　　100．我们还有很长的路要走 We still have a long way to go. 造英语金牌句型的八种实用方法

　　一、代入法
　　这是进行英语写作时最常用的方法。同学们在掌握一定的词汇和短语之后，结合一定的语法知识，按照句子的结构特点，直接用英语代人相应的句式即可。如：
　　他从不承认自己的失败。
　　He never admits his failure。
　　那项比赛吸引了大批观众。
　　The match attracted a large crowd。
　　他把蛋糕分成4块。
　　He divided the cake into four pieces。
　　二、还原法
　　即把疑问句、强调句、倒装句等还原成基本结构。这是避免写错句子的一种有效的办法。如：
　　这是开往格拉斯哥的火车吗？
　　Is this the train for Glasgow?
　　还原为陈述句：This is the train for Glasgow。
　　他是因为爱我的钱才同我结了婚。
　　It was because he loved my money that he married me。
　　还原为非强调句：Because he loved my money, he married me。
　　光速很快，我们几乎没法想像它的速度。
　　So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed。
　　还原为正常语序：Light travels so fast that we can hardly imagine its speed。
　　三、分解法
　　就是把一个句子分成两个或两个以上的句子。这样既能把意思表达得更明了，又能减少写错句子的几率。如：
　　我们要干就要干好。
　　If we do a thing, we should do it well。
　　从各地来的学生中有许多是北方人。
　　There are students here from all over the country. Many of them are from the North。
　　四、合并法
　　就是把两个或两个以上的简单句用一个复合句或较复杂的简单句表达出来。这种方法最能体现学生的英语表达能力，同时也最能提高文章的可读性。如：
　　我们迷路了，这使我们的野营旅行变成了一次冒险。
　　Our camping trip turned into an adventure when we got lost。
　　天气转晴了，这是我们没有想到的。
　　The weather turned out to be very good, which was more than we could expect。
　　狼是高度群体化的动物，它们的成功依赖于合作。
　　Wolves are highly social animals whose success depends upon their coopera-tion。
　　五、删减法
　　就是在写英语句子时，把相应汉语句子里的某些词、短语或重复的成分删掉或省略。如：
　　这部打字机真是价廉物美。
　　This typewriter is very cheap and fine indeed。
　　注：汉语表达中的“价”和“物”在英语中均无需译出。
　　个子不高不是人生中的严重缺陷。
　　Not being tall is not a serious disadvantage in life，
　　注：汉语说“个子不高”，其实就是“不高”。也就是说，其中的“个子”在英语中无需译出。
　　六、移位法
　　由于英语和汉语在表达习惯上存在差异，根据表达的需要，某些成分需要前置或后移。如：
　　他发现赚点外快很容易。
　　He found it easy to earn extra money。
　　注：it在此为形式宾语，真正的宾语是句末的不定式to earn extra money。
　　告诉我这事的人不肯告诉我他的名字。
　　The man who told me this refused to tell me his name。
　　注：who told me this为修饰the man的定语从句，应置于其后。
　　直到我遇到你以后，我才真正体会到幸福。
　　It was not until I met you that I knew real happiness。
　　注：not…until…为英语中的固定句式，其意为“直到……才……”。
　　七、分析法
　　指根据要表示的汉语意思，通过进行语法分析和句式判断，然后写出准确地道的英语句子。如：
　　从这个角度看，问题并不像人们一般料想的那样严重。Seen in this light, the matter isnot as serious as people generally suppose。
　　注：分词短语作状语时，其逻辑主语应与句子主语一致，由于thematter与sec之间为被动关系，故see要用过去分词scen。
　　我没有见过他，所以说不出他的模样。
　　Not having met him, I cannot tell you what he is like。
　　注：如果分词的动作发生在谓语动作之前，且与逻辑主语是主动关系，则用现在分词的完成式。
　　八、意译法
　　有的同学在写句子时，一遇见生词或不熟悉的表达，就以为是“山穷水尽”了。其实，此时我们可以设法绕开难点，在保持原意的基础上，用不同的表达方式写出来。如：
　　汤姆一直在扰乱别的孩子，我就把他撵了出去。
　　Tom was upsetting the other children, so I showed him the door。
　　有志者事竟成。
　　Where there is a will, there is away。
　　你可以同我们一起去或是呆在家中，悉听尊便。
　　You can go with us or stay at home, whichever you choose。
　　当然，同学们在写句子时千万不要拿句子去套方法，也不要拿方法去套句子。处处留心皆学问。只要加强知识的积累，一定还会有更多更好的方法。
