2017英语四级作文高分技巧:妙用倒装
如果你行文平淡,那就枯燥无味。你需要不时地改变一下你的行文规则,把简单的东西紧缩,放在一起写,有时你得打破你叙述事情的惯用模式。达到语言变化自如的途径之一是颠倒句子的'正常顺序。倒装使文章清新,出人意料,富于创造性。
打破词或句子的自然顺序可获得强调的效果,但注意:如果过分使用倒装会使文章矫揉造作,有明显的雕琢痕迹。同时句子次序的变化不应该造成歧义。
例 Wrong: Those who teach rarely get rich.
这个句子含义模糊,分辨不出是 "teach rarely" 还是 "rarely get rich?"
Reversed/ Correct:Rarely do those who teach get rich.
Reversed/Correct:Rarely do people get rich by teaching.
优秀作家一般在句子的一半处引出主语。可是很多学生几乎不用这种写法。应该变换这种主语开头的写法。
