实用英语写作技巧之六,如何写好一个段落(Ⅰ)

如何写好一个段落(Ⅰ)

6.1段落的特征

一个好的段落应该具有以下三个特征:1)完整性(completeness); 2)统一性(unity); 3)连贯性(coherence)。

6.2完整性

段落的完整性指的是段落得以充分展开。作者一俟写好主题句,就应该用细节进行推展,细节越充足越好。例如,你认为Riding motorcycles is dangerous,你就应该用你所知道的事实证明这一观点是正确的。你可以使用数字(statistics),列举例子(example),进行描绘(descriptions)等等。

示范段落6-1

Ever since the time of the Greeks, drama has played an important role in mans lives. The Greek tragedies and come dies were a central part of the citizens lives in ancient Greece. During the Middle Ages, Bible stories were acted out in churches,and wandering companies of players performed in the streets. In modern times, drama is brought directly into peoples homes through the magic of television.

6.3示范段落分析

主题句: Ever since the time of the Greeks, drama has played animportant role in mans lives.

细节:1. ancient Greece

2. the Middle Ages

3. modern times

作者根据各个不同历史时期提供细节,举例说明戏剧的重要性。

6.4 统一性

一个好的段落应该具有统一性。统一性就是一个中心思想统领整个段落。每个细节都应支持主题句,不应有无关的细节。为了支持主题,要尽可能多地提供细节,但又要避免滥用细节。

读下面段落,然后找出毛病。

① Innovations, whether practical or aesthetic, are often resisted by the general population.② When the early experiments in the field of aviation began their work, there were many who said,If God had wanted man to fly, he would have given him wings.③The Wright brothers made the first powered flights in a heavier-than-air craft in 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.④Even today there are many who strongly object to modern art and music as being nothing more than splashes of paint and honking horns.⑤The painter Picassos well-known masterpiece The Three Musicians is done primarily in blues and browns.

6.5段落分析

主题句: Innovations, whether practical or aesthetic, are often resisted by the general population.

推展细节:1. Peoples objection to the early experiments in the field of aviation.

2. Peoples objection to modern art and music.

无关细节:1. The Wright brothers experiment in flight.

2.Picassos painting.

显然这不是个好的段落,因为并非所有的推展句都支持主题句。应该把无关的细节删去。下图是一个有统一性的段落的结构图。
