如何写出好句子
如何写出好句子
好的句子是清楚、简洁、多变的句子,所谓清楚,指的是表达没有歧义。这是语言最基本的要求。简洁的意思是句子简单、明了,能用五个单词表达的意思,绝不用六个单词。多变的意思是句子的长度。句子结构要交叉变化。句子最好以较短的句子为主,但长短句要结合使用,不能要么就一直简单句,要么就一直是复合句和复杂句。
要想做到句型多变,简单易行的办法主要由以下这些:
□变换句型□
□利用同位语、插入语、独立主格结构、分词(现在/过去分词)短语、动词不定式短语、介词短语和形容词短语
□利用简单的修辞手段
□必要时,还可以考虑用倒装、强调句型和疑问句以变换句型
1. 变换句型造成变化
常见的句型有:简单句、并列句、复合句、并列句-复合句。
(1) 简单句:独立的单个句子。如:
We drove from Beijing to Shanghai in one day.
(2) 并列句:两个及以上的简单句合在一起所构成的句子,一般用连词and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet或关系副词”however, moreover, nevertheless, still, accordingly”等连接。如:
We were exhausted, but we arrived in time for my father’s birthday party.
He had never been to China; however, it had always been one of his ambitions.
(3) 复合句:一个主句加一个或多个从句即复合句。
Although he is now 79 years old, he still claims to be 65.
(4) 并列句-复合句:一个并列句加上一个或多个从句。
After it was all over, my dad claimed he knew we were planning something, but we we think he was really surprised.
请看下面这一小段文字:
Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me. Slavery is sixty years in the past. The operation was successful and the patient is doing well, thank you. The terrible struggle that made me an American out of a potential slave said “One the line!”, the Reconstruction said “Get set!”, and the generation before said “Go!” I am off to a flying start and I must not halt in the stretch to look behind and weep. Slavery is the price I paid for civilization, and the choice was not with me. It is a bully adventure and worth all that I have paid through my ancestors for it.
---Zora Neale Hurston
