得到的答案是范文?模板?生詞?還有更多.......但其實(shí)對(duì)于中國(guó)考生來說,最容易被忽略的細(xì)節(jié)點(diǎn),卻是 語法 。
大家都知道托福寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是從語言形式(linguistic feature)和內(nèi)容(content)來兩方面來衡量的。如果說托福寫作比喻為一個(gè)人,那么,語言形式就是一個(gè)人的儀表著裝,內(nèi)容則是一個(gè)人的內(nèi)涵。想要獲取托福寫作高分,我們就必須做到“內(nèi)外兼修”。
優(yōu)秀的語言形式需要考生注重:字?jǐn)?shù)格式、詞句豐富、語法正確。語法正確就是很關(guān)鍵的一點(diǎn),本文就通過托福寫作中的四類語法錯(cuò)誤和大家談?wù)務(wù)Z言形式中的語法正確性。
語法錯(cuò)誤一:?jiǎn)螐?fù)數(shù)不一致。
單復(fù)數(shù)原則涉及可數(shù)名詞單復(fù)數(shù)和動(dòng)詞三單(即主語為單數(shù)且動(dòng)詞使用現(xiàn)在時(shí),動(dòng)詞需要用單數(shù))。這個(gè)道理無人不知,但往往實(shí)踐和理論是脫節(jié)的。那么,學(xué)生們會(huì)寫成什么樣子呢?[注:本文所選用錯(cuò)誤句子均源于學(xué)生作文]
錯(cuò)1:Job-related decision must depend on some specific situation.
析1:situation是可數(shù)名詞,當(dāng)被some修飾時(shí),應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)。
改1:Job-related decision must depend on some specific situations.
錯(cuò)2:There are less support to the literature writers.
析2:There be 句式中的be的單復(fù)數(shù)由主語決定,此句主語為不可數(shù)名詞support,應(yīng)用單數(shù)。
改2:There is less support to the literature writers.
錯(cuò)3:Traveling now become a modern way for people to relax
析3:主語traveling是單數(shù),相應(yīng)的謂語動(dòng)詞也應(yīng)該用單數(shù)。
改3:Traveling now becomes a modern way for people to relax
語法錯(cuò)誤二:動(dòng)詞原形做主語
動(dòng)詞原形是不可以做主語的,必須用動(dòng)名詞(doing)或不定式(to do)的形式。
錯(cuò)4:Study hard will increase a person’s competence.
析4:此句使用動(dòng)詞原形做主語,需改成動(dòng)名詞(doing)或不定式(to do)的形式。
改4:Studying hard will increase a person’s competence.
錯(cuò)5:Educate children is a momentous task today.
析5:此句使用動(dòng)詞原形做主語,需改成動(dòng)名詞(doing)或不定式(to do)的形式。
改5:To educate children is a momentous task today.
語法錯(cuò)誤三:兩個(gè)或多個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子用逗號(hào)連接。
逗號(hào)并不具備鏈接兩個(gè)獨(dú)立句子的功能。
兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子有以下幾種寫法:
第一,兩個(gè)句子用句號(hào)隔開,句首都需要首字母大寫。
第二,用邏輯連接詞連接兩個(gè)句子,寫作中常用的邏輯連接詞為并列關(guān)系(and,分號(hào))、轉(zhuǎn)折(but, yet)、因果(for, so)。
第三,寫成復(fù)合句的形式,即名詞性從句、定語從句或狀語從句。例句有以下兩種修改形式
錯(cuò)6:People inevitably have access to unhealthy or violent information on the Internet, some people especially teenagers will be easily attracted by those information.
析6:本句中,逗號(hào)連接了兩個(gè)獨(dú)立而完整的句子,是錯(cuò)誤的。
改6-1:People inevitably have access to unhealthy or violent information on the Internet. Some people especially teenagers will be easily attracted by those information.
改6-2:People inevitably have access to unhealthy or violent information on the Internet and some people especially teenagers will be easily attracted by those information.
改6-3:People inevitably have access to unhealthy or violent information on the Internet; some people especially teenagers will be easily attracted by those information.
錯(cuò)7:Today the haze is severely heavy, it is exceedingly harmful to everyone.
析7:逗號(hào)連接兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子。
改7-1:Today the haze is severely heavy. And it is exceedingly harmful to everyone.
改7-2:Today the haze is severely heavy, and it is exceedingly harmful to everyone.
改7-3:Today the haze is severely heavy; it is exceedingly harmful to everyone.
改7-4:Today the haze is severely heavy which is exceedingly harmful to everyone.
語法錯(cuò)誤四:從句單獨(dú)成句。
從句的“從”意為“從屬”,所以,它是不具備獨(dú)立的功能的。也就是說,不能把從句連接詞首字母大寫變成一個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子。從句是復(fù)合句的一部分,從句和主句就像臺(tái)灣和大陸一樣是不可分割的。當(dāng)從句被寫成獨(dú)立的句子,就猶如臺(tái)灣遠(yuǎn)離了祖國(guó)母親的懷抱,于心何忍?!所以,從句必須和主句一起構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的句子。
錯(cuò)8:The professor states that our culture has changed a lot. Which means we do not have to find what we want only from the literature work but also from the Internet.
析8:which引導(dǎo)的定語從句獨(dú)立成句,是錯(cuò)誤的。
改8:The professor states that our culture has changed a lot, which means we do not have to find what we want only from the literature work but also from the Internet.
錯(cuò)9:The only problem of food at the present time is that people have difficulty to decide what to eat. Because people have too many choices of delicious food.
析9:because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句獨(dú)立成句,錯(cuò)誤。
改9:The only problem of food at the present time is that people have difficulty to decide what to eat, because people have too many choices of delicious food.
總結(jié)篇:
語法錯(cuò)誤的出現(xiàn)大多是因?yàn)樵谥形谋磉_(dá)中缺乏相應(yīng)英文的規(guī)則。在中文表達(dá)中,我們無需注重動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)、動(dòng)詞非謂語形式等,對(duì)待單復(fù)數(shù)的表達(dá)以“簡(jiǎn)”為重(如“一所大學(xué)”和“百所中國(guó)大學(xué)”,“大學(xué)”的表達(dá)并沒有變化,但對(duì)應(yīng)英文需要分別用單數(shù)和復(fù)數(shù),即'a university' 和'100 Chinese universities')。
我們?cè)跐h語的長(zhǎng)期熏陶下,便難以完全建立起良好的英文思維。于是,在托福寫作中,時(shí)而會(huì)有捉襟見肘的模樣。希望本文的內(nèi)容你可以讓自己的語言形式變得漂亮而生動(dòng)!
