擺脫雅思寫作5分 寫作中常用卻容易出錯(cuò)的句子
因果關(guān)系是在英文寫作時(shí)常用到的一種邏輯關(guān)系,然而表現(xiàn)因果關(guān)系的句子也容易出現(xiàn)文法、修辭的錯(cuò)誤。這里我們就來分析一下表示因果關(guān)系的句子中容易犯的錯(cuò)誤,以及怎樣才是符合文法、修辭要求的作法。呼市英語培訓(xùn)
狀況一:
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(dòng)車還不是汽油車之外的實(shí)際選擇,原因在于充電站并不普 遍。
這個(gè)句子中,the reason being that... 是 because the reason is that 的簡(jiǎn)化。
它的主語 the reason 與主要子句主詞 the electric car 不同,所以在簡(jiǎn)化時(shí)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(zhǎng),不如改為 because 比較簡(jiǎn)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.
狀況二:
X(不佳):The crop failed due to excessive rain in the final weeks before harvest.
農(nóng)作物歉收,因?yàn)槭粘汕昂髱讉€(gè)星期雨水過多。
這個(gè)句子不佳,因?yàn)樵~類有錯(cuò)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(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間);
2. 補(bǔ)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(dòng)詞 failed 的原因,是誤把形容詞當(dāng)副詞用,屬于文法錯(cuò)誤。
可以這樣改:
√ The crop failed was due to excessive rain in the final weeks before harvest.
