●高考范文 (2009•湖北卷)

假设你是华华,与英国网友汤姆约定用对方的母语通信,以提高各自的外语水平。最近你收到汤姆的电子邮件(附后),发现有一个成语使用不当。请根据下列要点,用英文回一封电子邮件。

要点:1. 不应使用“无所不为”,应使用“无所事事”;

2. 说明这两个成语的用法;

3. 给予鼓励。

注意:1.词数为100左右;

2.参考释义:无所不为——do all kinds of bad things 无所事事——have nothing to do;

3.除以上两个成语外,邮件中不得使用其他汉字或拼音;

4.电子邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好(不计入你所写词数),但不得抄入答题卡。

附(汤姆的邮件):

华华,你好!

近几天在忙什么事?有什么有意思的事吗?我们的学校放假了,所以这几天在家无所不为,饱食终日,只好上网发伊妹儿。没意思。我决定找份工作,做个自食其力的人。祝好!

汤姆

Hi! Tom,

Nice to read your e-mail today. I notice you've begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly.

[思路点拨]

09年湖北高考英语的书面表达是解释一位英国网友信里的一个汉语成语的使用错误。本篇书面表达写作素材新颖,给学生一定的自由空间。这个书面表达的“点”非常明确,但是把那些要点用英语表达清楚地道不出汉式句子并不容易。

[范文]

Hi! Tom,

Nice to read your e-mail today. I notice you've begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly.

However, I'm afraid there is one mistake I'd like to point out. It is “无所不为”. This idiom means “do all kinds of bad things”. Are you doing all kinds of bad things at home? I guess what you were really trying to say is that you've got nothing to do these days. In that case, you should use “无所事事”.

We usually use “无所不为” to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad, and “无所事事” to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do.

Have I made myself clear?

Anyway, I'm amazed at the progress you've made.

Hope you'll find a job soon.
