雅思寫作考試容易出錯的句子
在雅思寫作部分,很多學院都會在這個寫作部分出錯,爲了讓各位考生更加有效率的備考雅思寫作部分,下面滬江小編整理了雅思寫作考試容易出錯的句子,供大家參考借鑑。
狀況一:
X(不佳):The reason why he wouldn’t go to the wedding is because the bride was once his girlfriend.
他不願參加婚禮的原因是新娘曾是他的女友。
這個句子的文法修辭問題不止一處。
首先,the reason 和why 同樣表示“原因”,這種重複在修辭上不夠經濟,可省去關係詞 why,或者以連接詞 that 取代,成爲:
X(不佳):The reason (that) he wouldn’t go to the wedding is because the bride was once his girlfriend.
這樣修改之後仍不理想,原因之一是 the reason 和 because 仍然重複表達“原因”,應再精簡。
如果把the reason去掉,成爲:
X(不佳):He wouldn’t go to the wedding is because the bride was once his girlfriend.
如此雖然解決了重複的問題,可是仍不理想,主要是 because the bride was once his girlfriend 這個子句 卻在be動詞後面 作主語補語使用,這是文法上的錯誤。
亦即,because 引導的副詞子句 不應該放在be動詞後面的補語位置,前者爲果、後者爲因的“因果關係”。
要表達這種關係,最直截了當地改爲:
He wouldn’t go to the wedding because the bride was once his girlfriend.
或者:
The reason he wouldn’t go to the wedding is that the bride was once his girlfriend.
比較這兩句,可發現前者比較簡潔(字數較少),這是它的優點。
後者雖然字數較多,可是能夠發揮 加強預期的功能(強調他不去的原因何在)。
既然有特殊的修辭功能,就不能說是冗長,因而也是一個可能的選擇。
狀況二:
X(不佳):The electric car is not yet a practical alternative to the gasoline car, the reason being that there are not many charging stations around.
電動車還不是汽油車之外的實際選擇,原因在於充電站並不普 遍。
這個句子中,the reason being that... 是 because the reason is that 的簡化。
它的主語 the reason 與主要子句主詞 the electric car 不同,所以在簡化時要保留。
這種處理方式在文法上是正確的,然而從修辭上來看,the reason being that...稍顯冗長,不如改爲 because 比較簡潔:
The electric car is not yet a practical alternative to the gasoline car, (the reason being…) because there are not many charging stations around.
狀況三:
X(不佳):The crop failed due to excessive rain in the final weeks before harvest.
農作物歉收,因爲收成前最後幾個星期雨水過多。
這個句子不佳,因爲詞類有錯誤。
Due的詞類是形容詞,而英文的形容詞是用來修飾名詞的,只有兩種位置可以使用:
1. 名詞詞組中,例如 in due time(到了恰當的時間);
2. 補語位置,例如 The books are due.(書到期該換了)
在上面的句子中,用形容詞詞組 due to... 來修飾動詞 failed 的原因,是誤把形容詞當副詞用,屬於文法錯誤。
可以這樣改:
The crop failed was due to excessive rain in the final weeks before harvest.
