我们以下面这个卡片为例来详细说明提纲的拓展:

{真题回放}

Steamed fish:

1.  × cook steamed fish; parents’ house, miss → ask to teach

I am not much of a cook, but I do cook one dish well—steamed fish…When I moved out of my parents’ house, I missed it so much that I asked mom to teach me how to cook it.

在这里我们可以先用反衬的手法来突出清蒸鱼是我的拿手菜。所以在提纲中显示了一个让步。还原到口语中则用了but进行了连接。接下来论述自己非常想念清蒸鱼的味道,从而要母亲教我如何烹饪。在原文中以so…that来做成连接。

2.  easy

fish, live, fresh; ingredient…

procedure…  fish, ginger, spring onions, mushrooms, chili;
               
dish, soy source, water, rest of ingredients;
               
rack, wok

提纲中的ingredient…和procedure…提示要列举配料和制作方式,在这里没有用连接词表示,而是用句子直接论述了。

You also need ginger, spring onions, mushrooms and chili. First, clean the fish, cut the stalks of spring onions to almost 2 inch lengths, slice ginger and cut up mushrooms and chilies…

当然,我们也可以用连接词表述,如:You also need to prepare all the ingredients, including ginger…

3. special occasion…  ∵ friend, family;

steaming → flavor;

healthy

steamed fish junk food, takeaway

Fish is a dish that the Chinese usually make on special occasions. I continue cooking the steamed fish on birthdays, parties and festivals because my family and friends loves it. Steaming is the purest way to cook fish to bring out the delicate sweet flavor of it. Plus, it is healthy. It sure can beat any junk food or crappy takeaways.

在这里occasion…的拓展也没有使用连接词,而是在句子中直接体现了。当然,我们也可以把它改成:Fish is a dish that the Chinese usually make on special occasions such as birthdays, parties and festivals.

列好提纲对于第二部分的考题回应是非常重要的第一步。如果我们在有限的时间里很好的完成了这个步骤就能确保自己回答时逻辑清晰,思路顺畅。同时,也建议考生多学习一些常用的拓展方式,能够非常有效的组合句子,提高回答的质量。
