句子的寫作(七)

字號:

否定結(jié)構(gòu)除了在助動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,be和have后面加not之外,還有許多不含not的否定結(jié)構(gòu)。若能正確使用他們,文章會(huì)顯得生動(dòng)活潑,增加寫作的閃光點(diǎn)。下面我們就來看看: 
    1. 含有否定意義的詞匯和短語 
    以下列舉的詞和詞組本身就具有否定的含義,因此無需用否定詞。
    介詞against, beyond, but, except, without,...
    形容詞和動(dòng)詞absent, deny, differ, different, fail, free, ignore, miss, refuse, the last, used to,
    reluctant, lack, want,...
    短語keep...from, protect...from, prevent...from, let alone, at a loss, in vain, instead of, out 
    of the question, rather than, too...to, by no means, anything but,...
    我們看以下例句: 
    1) Women fail to get the equal rights in some countries.
    在一些國家里婦女沒有得到平等的權(quán)利。
    2) This is by no means the best way to solve the problem of energy crisis. 
     這不是解決能源危機(jī)的的辦法。
    3) We should protect trees from being destroyed. 
     我們應(yīng)保護(hù)樹木,不讓它們受破壞。
    4) In old China we could not make a nail, let alone(make) machines. 
     在舊中國,我們連一個(gè)釘子都造不了,更不用說制造機(jī)器了?!?BR>    2. 含有半否定意義的詞語
    barely, hardly, few, little, rarely, scarcely, seldom, not all, not everyone, not everything,...具
    有半否定的意義。例句:
    1) We could hardly see any fresh vegetables in winter on market several years ago. 
     幾年前在冬天市場上很難見到新鮮蔬菜。
    2) These young people know little about how to choose good books to read.
     這些年輕人幾乎不知道如何挑選優(yōu)秀的書籍來讀?!?BR>    3. 不含否定意義的否定結(jié)構(gòu)
    有些詞和詞組形式上是否定結(jié)構(gòu),但其含義是肯定的,比如:cannot but, can't help, 
    no sooner...than, not...until, in no time, none other than, nothing but,等等。例句:
    1) We can't but face the reality. 
     我們只有面對現(xiàn)實(shí)?!?BR>    2) These old buildings will be replaced by modern apartment buildings in no time.
     這些舊建筑將很快為現(xiàn)代化的公寓所代替。
    4. 否定結(jié)構(gòu)的倒裝語序
    我們有時(shí)為了強(qiáng)調(diào)而把否定詞和詞組放在句首,這時(shí)句子結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)倒裝。例如:
    1) On no account should we follow blindly.我們決不應(yīng)當(dāng)盲從。
    2) No where has the world ever seen such great enthusiasm for learning as in our 
     country.沒有任何其他地方有我國這樣高的學(xué)習(xí)熱情?!?BR>    五、 含有it的結(jié)構(gòu)
    考生病句:
    1. As is known to all of us that science and technology play an important role in the 
    development of society.
    2. It is known to us, practice makes perfect.
    正確表達(dá):
    1. It is known to all of us that science and technology play an important role in the 
    development of society. (或:As is known to all of us, science...)
    2. It is known to us that practice makes perfect. (或:As is known to us, practice...)
    評議與分析:
    例句1是93年12月六級考試11分作文的評分樣卷句子,例句2選自97年1月四級考試作文。很顯然,兩個(gè)考生混淆了it和as的用法。如果用it作形式主語,后面的主語從句必須由that引起;如果用as,則后面不能用that,因?yàn)閍s是關(guān)系代詞,代表practice makes perfect。
    It 在英語中是個(gè)相當(dāng)活躍的代詞,在寫作中我們常要使用它。以下幾種用法應(yīng)熟練掌握,并能靈活運(yùn)用。
    1.作形式主語
    It is necessary for us to master a foreign language skillfully. It makes difference whether 
    we could purify the air or not.
    2.作形式賓語
    We find it rather difficult to prevent people from doing that. Modern science has made it 
    possible for babies to grow healthily and for people to live longer.
    3.引導(dǎo)強(qiáng)調(diào)句
    It is only by this way that we can achieve success. It was then that people began to realize 
    the importance of controlling population.
    從語法結(jié)構(gòu)來看,上述的句子都不難,或者可以說是考生相當(dāng)熟悉的。然而在寫作考試中,多數(shù)考生缺乏運(yùn)用自己已掌握的句式的意識,而以自己頭腦中拼湊的中式英語取而代之。其實(shí),只要能恰當(dāng)?shù)剡\(yùn)用上述的任何一個(gè)句式,考生的作文就會(huì)出現(xiàn)閃光點(diǎn),就會(huì)取得比較好的成績?!?BR>
