2014中考沖刺:寫(xiě)好英語(yǔ)作文的10個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單原則

　　6. Avoid using jargon as much as possible.

　　盡量避免使用行話。

　　Not everyone in your audience will know what a "bull market” is. Not everyone knows that "pyrexia” is basically the same thing as "a fever”。 And surely you can come up with a better term for high blood pressure than "hypertension”?

　　不是每個(gè)讀者都知道“牛市”是什么。不是每個(gè)人都知道“pyrexia” (注：發(fā)熱的臨床用語(yǔ))和“fever”基本上是一個(gè)意思。當(dāng)然，你可以造一個(gè)比“hypertension”更好的詞來(lái)表示高血壓。

　　7. In terms of words， size matters.

　　詞的長(zhǎng)短也很重要。

　　Please， don't strain yourself by browsing the Internet， looking for complicated and fancy-sounding words. Less is always more.

　　請(qǐng)不要讓自己忙于瀏覽互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來(lái)尋找復(fù)雜及花哨的詞。少即是多。

　　示例：

　　- The man gave me a look so sharp that I sincerely believed it could pierce my heart and see my innermost fears.

　　-那名男子看我的眼神如此的犀利，我真的相信它能刺穿我的心，看清我內(nèi)心的恐懼。

　　- Better: The man glared at me.

　　更好的寫(xiě)法：那名男子瞪著我。

　　8. Being positive is better than being negative–even in writing!

　　肯定比否定要更好——即使在寫(xiě)作中!

　　示例：

　　- I did not think that the unbelievable would not occur.

　　-我不認(rèn)為令人難以置信的事情不會(huì)發(fā)生。

　　- Better: I thought the unbelievable would happen.

　　-更好的寫(xiě)法：我認(rèn)為令人難以置信的事情是會(huì)發(fā)生的。

　　9. Set aside time for revising and rewriting–after you've written the whole content.

　　留下時(shí)間來(lái)修改和重寫(xiě)——在你寫(xiě)完全部?jī)?nèi)容后。

　　I'm not suggesting that you should edit each time you've finished a paragraph–that would just be tedious. What I'm telling is that you should first give yourself some time to finish the content prior to editing. Write away. Don't edit yet. Don't focus on the grammar yet. Don't worry about the syntax， the synonym， the antonym or the order that you're using.

　　我不是建議你每次寫(xiě)完一段話就修改一下——那樣會(huì)很乏味。我建議你在編輯之前，應(yīng)該給自己一些時(shí)間來(lái)完成寫(xiě)作的內(nèi)容。寫(xiě)下來(lái)。先不要編輯。不要注重語(yǔ)法。不要擔(dān)心語(yǔ)法、同義詞、反義詞或你用詞的順序。

　　Write for yourself， but mostly， write for your target audience. Write the message clearly and don't be afraid to express your thoughts. Don't censor yourself yet. Let the words flow. Don't erase what you've written yet.

　　為你自己寫(xiě)作，但最重要的是，為你的目標(biāo)受眾寫(xiě)作。把內(nèi)容清晰地寫(xiě)下來(lái)，不要害怕表達(dá)自己的思想。不要審查自己。讓你的文字流動(dòng)。先不要?jiǎng)h除你所寫(xiě)的內(nèi)容。

　　All the editing and the fixing will come later.

　　編輯內(nèi)容和調(diào)整內(nèi)容可以稍后進(jìn)行。

　　10. Write. All the time.

　　寫(xiě)下來(lái)。每時(shí)每刻。

　　Good writing is simply always writing. Write when you're sad. Write when you're scared. Write when you don't feel like writing.

　　好的寫(xiě)作技巧就是一直在寫(xiě)。悲傷時(shí)去寫(xiě)，害怕時(shí)去寫(xiě)，不想寫(xiě)的時(shí)候還要寫(xiě)。
