文章献给准备过英语专业四级的同学,给同学一点写作经验,希望大家考试成功。

句子的强调:强调能更有效地进行思想交流。写作者为使读者能更深入地了解自己的观点,有必要运用强调的手段。这就好比平时我们做笔记的时候,用荧光笔划出重点,为的就是能一目了然。那么写作的时候,也不要忘记在必要的地方使用一下highlight,让那些没有颜色的亮绿亮黄,一下子达到读者心里去。

常见的强调手段有如下几种:

1)句尾强调(End Emphasis)英语句子中通常将需要强调的部分置于句子末尾。

弱:He has achieved success, I believe.

强:He has, I believe, achieved success.

2)倒装语序(Inverted Order)运用点到正常语序的手法达到强调。

正常:I did not believe what she said for a moment.

倒装:Not for a moment did I believe what she said.

3)重复(Repetition)有意重复主要信息也可达到强调的目的。

…that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

练习:

请用相应的强调手段,改写下列句子。

1)I have never dreamed about it.

2)She was so angry that he could not speak.

3)He will be back, I’m sure.

4)If he is your best friend, he would help you.
