1、英语写作中的通顺与连贯(一)文章的通顺与连贯是一篇好文章必须具有的条件之一，它包括两个方面：一是指句子的通顺连贯，二是指段落的通顺连贯。一、句子的连贯如果一个句子的各个词或各个成分之间的连贯是既清晰又合理，那么这个句子就是连贯的、通顺的。要写出连贯通顺的句子需要注意以下问题：（一） 关于正确使用平行句的问题在英语中，所谓平行句就是把结构相似或相同，意义相关，语义一致的一个或几个词组或句子并列使用。包括名词短语、形容词短语、副词短语、动词短语、非谓语动词短语、从句等的平行。正确使用平行结构，既能使重点突出，又能使句子更易理解和连贯。例如：1. We should judge a person n

2、ot only by what he says but also his deeds.此句中what he said和his deeds在结构上是不平行的，因此其中一个应该被改正。即：We should judge a person not only by what he says but also by what he does.(从句的平行)或We should judge a person not only by what his words but also his deeds.(名词短语的平行)2. We thought she was young, fair and a beaut

3、iful girl.此句要么用名词短语的平行，要么用形容词短语的平行。即改为：We thought she was young, fair and beautiful.或We thought she was a young, fair and beautiful girl.3. He sat down at the table and began to read newspaper.(动词短语的平行)4. He likes playing basketball and collecting stamps.（非谓语动词的平行）5. The teachers and students have g

4、reat faith and high hopes for you.此句中的名词faith和hope尽管是平行的，但它们应该接不同的介词。改为：The teachers and students have great faith in and high hopes for you.（二） 关于指代不明的问题6. He told Tom that he had passed the driving-test.句子中的第二个he究竟是指主语还是指Tom，模棱两可。我们可以理解为：He had passed the driving-test and he told Tom.也可理解为:He told

5、 Tom that Tom had passed the driving-test.7. I went to see a film last night because she is a star I like.因为句子中没有涉及第三者，所以很难判断she指代何人。改为：I went to see a film last night because the actress is a star I like.8.LiMing was knocked down by a motorbike,but it was not badly hurt.It指代前面出现过的名词，这是it的基本用法之一。此句中

6、唯一的名词是motorbike在此是泛指，故不能用it。改为：LiMing was knocked down by a motorbike,but was not badly hurt.为避免此错误发生，写句子时要先分清代词要指代的对象。（三） 关于修饰语的问题9.我在会上作了重要的关于如何学好英语的报告。误：He gave an important talk at the meeting about how to learn English well.析：此句由于修饰语的位置错放而引起的意思模糊。从句子结构来看，很容易让人觉得修饰语about how to learn English wel

7、l像是修饰the meeting，但根据汉语句子原意，应该修饰talk。改为：He gave an important talk about how to learn English well at the meeting。10.他说了上课迟到的原因，没有人相信他。He gave a reason for his being late for school,which nobody believed.析：此句也属于修饰语的位置错放。这种错误的修改法有两种：一是使修饰语紧跟他所像是的成分：He gave a reason ,which nobody believed，for his being

8、late for school.二是重复被修饰的成分：He gave a reason for his being late for school, a reason which nobody believed.11.从山上看，我们学校看起来很美。误：Seeing from the hill,our school looks very beautiful.析：非谓语动词seeing与句子的主语our school不构成主动关系，而是被动关系。非谓语动词的错用造成句子的不通顺。改为：Seen from the hill,our school looks very beautiful.（四） 关于

9、语序的问题语序是句子通顺的重要因素。下面我们就几种常用语序作些分析，相信对同学们的写作会有所帮助。12.If I had a long enough holiday,Id visit Europe, stopping at all the small interesting places.显然，此句是关于副词的语序问题。enough 作副词修饰形容词是要后置。13.-How was you recent visit to Qingdao?-It was great.We visited some friends,and spent the last few sunny days at the

10、seaside.此句是关于几个形容词修饰一个名词的语序问题。写这类句子，我们可以遵循下列规则安排语序：1）与被修饰的名词关系愈密切的形容词愈靠近名词；2）如果密切程度差不多，则音节少的形容词在前，多的在后；3）一般按照“九字令”：限描大形龄 颜籍物类。限（last,first,few等）、描（fine,beautiful,fat等）、大（big,small等）、形（round,square等）、龄（young,old,five-year-old等）、颜（red,brown等）、籍（出处，籍贯）、物（物质，材料）、类（类别，用途）。14.You cant imagine how excited

11、they were,when they received these nice Christmas presents.此句是关于宾从的语序问题。在写带有宾语从句的句子时，要熟记以下口诀：宾语从句要牢记，陈述语序在心里；主句一般从任意，主句过去从过去。（主句如果是过去时态，从句用相应的过去时态）；陈述句连词用that，一般问句if或whether，特殊问句词不变。15.So shallow is the lake that no fish can live in it.此句是关于倒装语序的问题。写作时正确使用倒装句，对提高文章的生动非常有帮助。但如果把握不准，写错句子的话，将会影响文章的档次。二

12、、段落的通顺连贯写出了足够的通顺连贯的句子，是不是就意味着会写出通顺连贯的文章?答案是否定的。段落的通顺连贯与段落的组织有关。如果把写好的每一句话，只是简单的无次序堆在一起，写出来的文章就会杂乱无章，读者也就无法跟上作者的思路，甚至很难理解作者在说什么。因此，按一定的逻辑规则排列句子，才能写出通顺连贯的段落。例如：As we all know,Human beings and the environment can have a great effect on each other. If we use environment resources properly, Human society

13、 will develop very quickly and the environment around us will be improved at the same time. But on the other hand,if we use them wrongly,well suffer a lot from it because there will be many environmrnt problem. For example,ecological environment will be destroyed,a lot of land will be changed into d

14、eserts and soil will be washed away in heavy rains. To protect our environment is to save ourselves.本段落是通顺连贯的。作者先陈述了一个事实：人类和环境相互影响。再从正反两方面阐述二者的相互影响，然后进一步举例说明，如果人类破坏生态环境，必将受到惩罚。最后得出结论:保护环境就是拯救我们自己。另外，文章的连贯还与文章的过渡和衔接有着密切关系。构成语篇连接成分的过渡词语，被称为“篇章纽带”，其语篇衔接作用是不言而喻的，同学们若能学会正确恰当地使用这些表示过渡与衔接的“篇章纽带”，使文章前后连贯、结构

15、紧凑、过渡自然，那么文章便可锦上添花了。英语写作中的过渡与衔接(二)书面表达的评分标准把衔接和连贯是作为核心标准来要求的。之所以如此强调衔接和连贯，是因为这是构成语篇的最基本的条件。语句间的连接成分是衡量衔接与连贯的重要标准之一。构成语篇连接成分的过渡词语，被称为“篇章纽带”，其语篇衔接作用是不言而喻的，同学们若能学会正确恰当地使用这些表示过渡与衔接的“篇章纽带”，使文章前后连贯、结构紧凑、过渡自然。一、 表示过渡与衔接的常用方式表示顺序的：first,then,finally表示时间的：in the past,now,at present,in the future表示转折的：but,how

16、ever,on the contrary,in the mean while,at the same time,instead,unfortunately,after all表示递进的：whats more,besides,even,moreover,furthermore表示并列的：as well as,bothand, neithernor, eitheror, somesome表示因果的：because,as,now that,so,therefore表示列举的：for example,for instance,such as表示总结的：in a word,in all,in short

17、,in brief,in conclusion表示对比的：while,on one hand,on the other hand,in the same way,just as表示程度的：first of all,above all,again and again表示强调的：indeed,certainly,of course,surely,above all二、 合理安排句型1.注意把意思相近、相似、互为补充的句子，修饰合为一个复杂句，使重点突出，并且要明确内在的逻辑关系。如：When it is my birthday,my mother will cook some dishes to

18、celebrate my birth,or she will give some money to buy whatever I want.改为:To celebrate my birthday, my mother always cooks some dishes or gives me some money to buy whatever I want.改后的句子有两句变为一句，句意更容易理解，逻辑更清楚。2.注意中文和英文两种语言的区别（1）英文把中心句放在句首，而中文放在句末。如：Im very glad to see you again.见到你很高兴。（2）中文中主语多为人称代词，而

19、英语中，人称代词、名词、动名词短语、不定式、从句等都能作主语。如：Its important to learn English well.Where and when will the meeting be held has not been decided.We aim at quality rather than quantity.The article is beautiful written.One should do his best to help others.（3）英文常用被动语态，而中文常用主动语态。如：The problem will be discussed tomorrow.明天讨论这个问题。
