精彩句子
精彩句子指文章中句式優(yōu)美、蘊(yùn)含哲理的句子。精彩句子的背誦有助于寫作時的引用和模仿。如在閱讀美國前總統(tǒng)約翰?肯尼迪(John F. Kennedy)的就職演說(Inaugural Address)時,可以記住諸如“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. ”(不要問國家能為你做什么,而要問你能為國家做什么。)這樣的傳世佳句,當(dāng)你寫關(guān)于愛國(patriotism)主題的作文時,則可以適時引用。現(xiàn)仍以上面談“愛心”的文章為例,其中值得背誦的句子為數(shù)不少。摘錄如下:
①Love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes.
愛心是情感的力量,不論我們周圍的世界多么黑暗,愛心都能支撐我們。
②People all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can ― be it money or goods ― to help their needy fellow citizens.
全國人民毫不猶豫地傾囊相助――不管是錢還是物――幫助那些有需要的同胞。
③The best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are.
表達(dá)愛心的最好方式是幫助比我們更加不幸的人。
④The darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines.
悲傷的陰影越黑暗,愛心之燈的光芒就越閃亮。
優(yōu)秀段落
閱讀時,我們經(jīng)常會碰到一些過目難忘的段落。這些段落或者表達(dá)流暢、文筆優(yōu)美,或者邏輯縝密、結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。根據(jù)表達(dá)需要,有不同的功能段落,如現(xiàn)象說明段、觀點陳述段、原因列舉段、利弊解釋段、結(jié)論歸納段、趨勢預(yù)測段、措施建議段等。有些優(yōu)秀段落可以作為寫作的功能段落加以背誦,對于我們拓展思路、規(guī)范行文大有裨益。在背誦過程中,熟練掌握各種功能段落的行文規(guī)則,自己在表達(dá)時就能駕輕就熟。下面僅舉觀點陳述段和措施建議段各一例。
觀點陳述段(陳述“民族文化應(yīng)該成為世界文化”的觀點)
A culture of one nation may become international, which is beneficial for all mankind. Since China has opened its doors widely to the outside world, many people from different countries want to visit China. They will come to accept and love Chinese culture as a whole. In addition, Chinese culture should be shared generously with foreign people, who show great interest in it. Meanwhile, as more and more foreigners come to China, they bring aspects of their own culture to share with the Chinese people. In this way, people from various nations in the world will be able to acquire a better understanding of each other and live peacefully together.
一個國家的文化可能成為世界文化,這對全人類都有益。由于中國已經(jīng)向外界敞開了國門,許多來自不同國家的人都希望來看一看中國。他們會開始接受并喜歡整個中國文化,中國文化應(yīng)該大大方方地讓感興趣的外國人分享。與此同時,隨著來中國的外國人越來越多,他們也把他們自己的文化帶給了中國人。這樣,世界各國的人們就能夠更好地相互理解、和平相處。
措施建議段(建議“人口老齡化”的解決措施)
The rapidity of the population's aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. No doubt, the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What's more, family care and community services should also be encouraged.
人口老齡化的加速使采取應(yīng)對措施變得更為緊迫。毫無疑問,解決問題的關(guān)鍵是建立穩(wěn)固的經(jīng)濟(jì)基礎(chǔ)。與此同時,應(yīng)該重視整體的社會進(jìn)步,改變社會保障、福利和服務(wù)的落后局面。除此之外,應(yīng)該鼓勵家庭照料和社區(qū)服務(wù)。
