SAT写作:避免使用不完整或冗长的句式

发布时间:2016-03-02  编辑:查字典英语网小编

  避免使用不完整或冗长的句式

  不完整的句式没有独立的从句;而冗长的句式则有两个以上的从句,而这若干从句之间并没有恰当地衔接。这两种错误都是我们应该努力避免的,具体做法如下。

  不完整的句式

  正式写作中的每句话都必须有独立从句。所谓独立从句,就是包含主语、谓语,并且不以下述连词作为句子开头:

  After if than whenever although in order that though where as provided that unless whether because since until while before so that

  错误:Global warming. This is what the scientists and journalists are worried about.

  正确:Global warming is the cause of concern for scientists and journalists.

  注意,以并列连词and、but、or、nor和for作为单句的开头,则是可以接受的。例如:

  正确:Most people would agree that indigent patients should receive wonderful health care. But every treatment has its price.

  冗长的句式

  在时间紧张的情况下,不少学生写出来的句子没有标点连接,或者只有逗号。例如:

  Current insurance practices are unfair they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.

  我们有三种修改方法:

  1)标注句号:Current insurance practices are unfair. They discriminate against the people who need insurance most.

  这样,一个独立的句子就变成几个独立的从句。

  2)标注分号:Current insurance practices are unfair; they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.利用分号把具有独立意义的句式分开,但同时向读者表明句子表示的含义之间存在一定联系。

  3)利用连词:Current insurance practices are unfair in that they discriminate against the people who need insurance most.这也是最有效的修改方法,从句仍然是独立的,同时也表明了从句之间的联系。

  出现冗长句式还有一个原因,就是误用however、nevertheless、furthermore、likewise、therefore等副词。例如:

  错误:Current insurance practices are discriminatory, furthermore they make insurance too expensive for the poor.

  正确:Current insurance practices are discriminatory. Furthermore, they make insurance too expensive for the poor.
