趣谈英语中的异曲同工之妙
根据研究高考专家预测,已经有十年历史的高招英语书面表达题将要结束其控制性写作 (controlled writing) 的形式,而极有可能转向开放性写作 (open writing) .这样在今后的书面表达题中,就没有要点、图画或图表的提示和限制,考生可以尽情发挥自己的写作水平,只要写出合乎题目要求的文章就行。而且,根据改革后的书面表达的评分标准,考生只有使用了较多的复杂的句子结构和含义比较高深的词汇,才能拿到高分数。因此,同学们在平时练习写作和做汉译英练习时,不可过于死板或逐字翻译。因为一个意思或一句汉语在英语中可能有多种表达方法,可以达到异曲同工的目的。为了帮助同学样拓宽思路,培养灵活运用语言的能力,现就同一汉语意思有多种英语表达或翻译方法的现象举例如下:
一 . 表示对专心,专心于,可以使用下列词语: set one's mind to, be attentive to, concentrate on, stick to, be absorbed in, devote oneself ( heart and soul ) to, keep one's mind on, put one's heart into, fix one's thought/mind on, attentively 等。例如:
You won't find the work difficult, if only you set your mind to it. 如果你专心于这个工作,你就不会感到它难做了。
Please be more attentive to your studies. 请你学习更专心些。
If you don't concentrate your attention on your work, you'll be dismissed. 假如你不专心工作,你将被解雇。
You should stick to one thing at a time. 你应该一次专心做一件事。
I was absorbed in a book and didn't hear you call. 我当时正专心读一本书,没有听到你喊。
She devoted herself (heart and soul) to the study of chemistry. 她专心致志于化学研究。
When Germany was ruled by Hitler in the early 1930s, Einstein couldn't keep his mind on his work. 在 20 世纪 30 年代初期希特勒统治德国的时候,爱因斯坦无法专心工作。
All through her life, she put all her heart into her work. 在她一生中,她把全部的心思放在了工作上。
It's difficult to fix my mind/thought on what I am doing with all this noise. 这么吵闹,我很难专心做自己正在做的事情。
As a student, we must listen attentively to the teacher in class. 作为学生,我们在课堂上必须专心听讲。
二 . 表示尽力做某事,竭尽全力做某事,可以使用下列词语:
try one's best, do all/everything/what one can, spare no efforts to do sth, to the best of one's ability, make every effort to do, try every/all means to do 等。例如:
I'll try my best to help you. 我将尽力帮助你。

三 . 表示(忽然)想起,可以使用下列词语:
think of, have an idea/ a thought, (of an idea, a thought) strike sb, come to/into one's mind, rush through one's head, enter one's mind, occur to sb 等。例如:
