SAT寫(xiě)作:避免使用不完整或冗長(zhǎng)的句式
避免使用不完整或冗長(zhǎng)的句式
不完整的句式?jīng)]有獨(dú)立的從句;而冗長(zhǎng)的句式則有兩個(gè)以上的從句,而這若干從句之間并沒(méi)有恰當(dāng)?shù)劂暯印_@兩種錯(cuò)誤都是我們應(yīng)該努力避免的,具體做法如下。
不完整的句式
正式寫(xiě)作中的每句話都必須有獨(dú)立從句。所謂獨(dú)立從句,就是包含主語(yǔ)、謂語(yǔ),并且不以下述連詞作為句子開(kāi)頭:
After if than whenever although in order that though where as provided that unless whether because since until while before so that
錯(cuò)誤:Global warming. This is what the scientists and journalists are worried about.
正確:Global warming is the cause of concern for scientists and journalists.
注意,以并列連詞and、but、or、nor和for作為單句的開(kāi)頭,則是可以接受的。例如:
正確:Most people would agree that indigent patients should receive wonderful health care. But every treatment has its price.
冗長(zhǎng)的句式
在時(shí)間緊張的情況下,不少學(xué)生寫(xiě)出來(lái)的句子沒(méi)有標(biāo)點(diǎn)連接,或者只有逗號(hào)。例如:
Current insurance practices are unfair they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.
我們有三種修改方法:
1)標(biāo)注句號(hào):Current insurance practices are unfair. They discriminate against the people who need insurance most.
這樣,一個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子就變成幾個(gè)獨(dú)立的從句。
2)標(biāo)注分號(hào):Current insurance practices are unfair; they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.利用分號(hào)把具有獨(dú)立意義的句式分開(kāi),但同時(shí)向讀者表明句子表示的含義之間存在一定聯(lián)系。
3)利用連詞:Current insurance practices are unfair in that they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.這也是最有效的修改方法,從句仍然是獨(dú)立的,同時(shí)也表明了從句之間的聯(lián)系。
出現(xiàn)冗長(zhǎng)句式還有一個(gè)原因,就是誤用however、nevertheless、furthermore、likewise、therefore等副詞。例如:
錯(cuò)誤:Current insurance practices are discriminatory, furthermore they make insurance too expensive for the poor.
正確:Current insurance practices are discriminatory. Furthermore, they make insurance too expensive for the poor.
