漂亮英语句子包含四个要素:

 

1 完整性:句子结构的完整;意义的完整


    2 连贯性:句子各部分之间的关系密切、协调、前后意思连贯、思想表达清楚有序


    3 简洁性:言简意赅


    4 多样性:句子形式多样化:会使文章语言生动,是为作文增色的有效手段——句式和结构单调、长度相近的句子会使文章单调、呆板、说服力不强。
   

具体包括以下几个方面:
   
   
a. 长短句交错运用


   
b.简单句、并列句和复合句交替运用


   
c. 结构多样化:我们学过倒装结构;隔离结构;插入结构;否定结构;it结构;强调结构;比较结构;分词结构;无动词结构;独立结构;with复合结构,具体参见《突破教程》。这里强调一下分词结构,它可以为作文增色很多。很多从句和非谓语动词短语能够相互转化。


 
名词从句可转化为非谓语动词短语

 

That John won the marathon surprised us.—〉John’s winning the Marathon surprised us.


I have not decided whether I should vote for Clint.
—〉I have not decided whether to vote for Clint.

  
定语从句可转化为非谓语动词短语

The next train that arrives is from New York.> The next train to arrive is from New York.

   
状语从句可转化为非谓语动词短语

—〉Having watered the garden, he began to mow the lawn.

—〉Having lived in Canada for three years, he still cannot speak English well.

 

d.主语多样化:中国人习惯总是以用人称主语,而英语中却常常使用无灵主语,如:

1 A terrible thought suddenly struck mehad I locked the door?

  我突然产生了一个可怕的想法——我锁门了吗?

  2 A strange peace came over her when she was alone.她独处时感到一种特别的安宁。

    9 When he had to speak, his confidence suddenly deserted him.

e.       开头多样化:开头除了使用主语外,还可以用各种各样的结构
