第八单元 推展段落方法之一事实与数据法
在第四单元,我们曾提到推展段落的方法有多种。从这一单元开始,我们将逐个介绍这些方法。
8.1事实与数据法
事实(a fact)是可以客观证实的事情。例如:The sunrises in the east.是个事实。Oil and water do not mix.也是个事实。两者都可以通过实验证明是真实的。但是Eating carrots improves eyesight.也许是真实也许是不真实的。这不是个事实,是一种看法(opinion)。数据(a statistic)是一个数字事实(a numeral fact),用于给某一主题提供有意义的信息。例如:
There are twenty-five students in the class.是一个数据。

8.3示范段落分析
主题句:A snake is a strange animal.
事实1:walks with its ribs and smells with its tongue
事实2:swallows its food whole
8.4关于如何写事实与数据段落的建议
1)不要把事实与看法混为一谈
事实是真实的,因为它们已被证据证实。然而看法只是人们的主观想法,不一定真实。因此,记住用事实而不是用看法支持你的观点。
2)不要使用不相关的数据
如果你为了增加观点的可信度而使用不相关的数据,即使这些数据是真实的,也会引起误解。
