过渡词在书面表达中的运用（人教版高考复习11）

过渡词在书面表达中的运用（人教版高考复习11）
根据近几年的高考《考试说明》，英语书面表达评分标准第五档（很好）中有这样的表述：“应用了较多的语法结构和词汇，语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但为尽力使用复杂结构或高级词汇所致。

”这就是说，学生仅运用基础词汇和基本句型，并不能体现出较强的语言运用能力，这样即使表达中无语法错误，也不能得高分；相反，尽管有些许错误，但如果目的是在有意识地使用复杂结构或较高级词汇，也不会扣多少分，仍属最高档次。

那么究竟如何运用高级词汇和复杂结构来写出好的文章，从而提高书面表达的档次呢？注意使用过渡词即起、承、转、合的单词和短语。

过渡词是指一个与原句无句法关系的附加部分，在句中往往起缓和词气，表明态度，看法，解释说明整个句子的作用。

过渡词的位置较灵活，可置于句首, 句中或句末。

过渡词在句中是一个独立部分，是句子不可缺少的成分，它在句与句中起一个逻辑意义一致，句子之间连接承上启下的作用。

同时在文章中使用好过渡词还能提高文章的档次分，句子显得逻辑性强，结构紧凑，也是语言功底好的表现。

如果去掉，句子的意思就不完整，甚至不知所云。

试比较下面例句：
例1.
We must work. We must believe in ourselves.
-We must work and above all we must believe in ourselves.
例2.
I was anxious to leave. I felt that I wasn’t able to tell my grandparents that we were safe.
- On one hand, I was anxious to leave, on the other hand
I felt that I wasn’t able to tell my grandparents that we were safe.
例3.
1) To tell you the truth, life is beautiful. I have no reason to think otherwise.
2) Personally, I don’t like this painting.
可见过渡词在写作中使用得当，可以给文章增辉添彩，可以使描写更细致如微，说明文层次清楚，条分缕析，证论文说服力更强。

反之，则使文章逻辑不清，显得生硬，乏味。

一些学生在作文中过多使用简单句，一篇文章下来竟成了简单句堆砌；有的写复杂句时，动辄用so，and，then，but，or，however，yet等非但达不到丰富表达方式的目的，反而使句子结构松散、呆板。

为了避免这种现象，可以通过使用不同的过渡词,不仅能够丰富句型，而且还能够把思想表达得更清楚，意义更连贯。

例如：学生习作：
Is Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything. We can’t do without it. Money can’t buy
us happiness and a good education. And money can’t buy us good health and a
long life. We can not live without money. We need it to buy many things. And
we need it to live a better life. We should learn the value of money and make the
most of its advantages.
这段文字用简单句表达，它们之间内在的逻辑关系含糊不清，意思支离破碎。

如果使用过渡词，将单句与其前后合并，形成主次关系，就把一个比较复杂的内容和关系表达得层次清楚、结构严谨。

修改后的文章：
Is Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a
long life.
But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food,
clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life.
In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.
修改后的文章用过渡词来衔接各句：
第一段第一句为：I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it.
第二段第一句为：But we can not live without money.
第三段第一句为：In short, we should learn the value of money…
这篇短文每一段的第一句都是主题句，在每个主题句前使用But, But, In short使全文有序地衔接起来。

如果在文章中再恰当使用其他的过渡词，会使文章增色很多。

为了增强文章的逻辑性，同学们应学会使用过渡性词汇，因为过渡性词汇可使文章结构更紧凑，上下文更连贯，逻辑性、可读性更强。

本文提到的过渡性词汇使用场合十分广阔，使用前景十分看好，只要同学们掌握其使用特点，并增强其使用意识，在绝大多数场合都可以有选择性地将其派上用场，从而为增加书面表达得分起到立竿见影的作用。

同学们可通过对近几年春夏季高考书面表达题的清理，学会如何使用过渡性词汇增加文章的连贯性。

Dear Editor．
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance
fee should be charged for parks．
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Sixty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should not be bought before one enters a park, for it is a place for the public to go to when they are free. If a ticket must be bought, a gate and walls have to be built for a park, which will make a city look ugly. Forty students out of one hundred think that an
entrance fee should be bought before one enters a park, but that the price of the ticket should be reasonable. Money that is got from ticket selling can be used to pay the gardening workers and buy different kinds of flowers and trees. As for myself, I really think parks are good places to go to at weekends and on holidays. At the same time, we, as visitors, should pay the entrance fee when we enter a park. After all, it takes a lot of money to maintain a park in good working order. Do you agree with me, dear editor?
Yours truly,

面对当前中学生“出国热”，请你以为题，谈谈中学生店铺的利与弊。

（可以从以下几方面考虑，但不一定要面面俱到：年龄、生活经验、自理能力、生活学习费用、语言学习环境、传播民族文化、学习国外先进科学技术）
Studying Abroad in recent years, studying abroad has been popular. More and more students leave their own country to go abroad for their further education. They say that they can develop better with advanced facilities and teaching methods in those modern schools. By communicating with foreign students or staying a long time with them, a profitable experience is available to them. By the time they come back home, they are supposed to have a great advantage over the students at home in many ways. I quite agree with what they say. But one fact I’d like to remind them of is that quite a number of overseas students stay abroad disappointed as they can’t obtain what they hope for, let alone success. When they are abroad, they are helpless and have to be independent, which is quite contrary to what it is at home. They lack independence; they can’t even tell right and wrong apart, and as a result some of them even commit crimes. Therefore, whether it is good or not to study abroad
depends on the individual. So take more factors into careful consideration.

June 8th
Dear Haiqing,
I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents can’t afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much. And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.
To begin with, beauty is just skin deep. Don’t you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance? He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour. So please, just forget about those brand-name things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you. As a student, you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things?
Secondly, I know your parents are both average workers. Hard as they work, they don’t earn much. Despite this, they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand. Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces, how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford, which will surely break their hearts? Remember, parents don’t owe us expensive summer camps; they don’t owe us Sony Walkman; nor do they owe us Nike shoes, If you really want those fancy things, you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden. Don’t you think so?
Thirdly, we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive. What’s the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better? My friend, take my advice, and you’ll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.
Poverty, sometimes, is a good thing. It can test a person’s character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else. Keep working hard, and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldn’t it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long?
Keep in touch.
Yours

Report on the Survey about our School Uniform
Recently I did a survey about our school uniform. I interviewed groups of students what they thought about our school uniform. The result is as following.
60% of the students interviewed expressed their satisfaction with it. Wearing the fashionable uniform of a good colour, they can prove themselves students and feel very tidy. The uniform also shows they are equal and there is no need for them to follow the fashion. Most of them considered it to be a symbol for students.
On the contrary, about 30% of the students held different opinions. They thought it had an ugly colour and wore uncomfortably. Besides, they thought it unfashionable and had a dull style.
10% had no idea about it.
In general, our school uniform is popular with most of the students, but it still needs some improvement.
人们总以为淡水是取之不尽的，实际上淡水资源是很有限的。

请谈谈你的看法。

A Suggested Version:
It is generally believed that there is a good supply of fresh water. But to our disappointment, the fact is just the opposite.
As we can see, the world population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a big population. What’s more, with the development of industry, factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which consequently results in the pollution of water. Though fresh, a good amount of it can no longer be used. Only quite limited fresh water resource is available to human beings. So it＇s high time for us human beings to take quick action to protect water resource. Stop pollution and save water, otherwise, we cannot
survive on the earth.
With fresh water, the world will be prosperous.

A Suggested Version:
June 3 ,2005
Dear Editor,
Recently, our class has had a heated discussion about whether the Beijing Zoo should be moved out of the city. Some of my classmates are in favor of the move. They say large crowds of tourists to the zoo will result in traffic jams. They also say that once moved animals will have more space and better living conditions in the suburbs. However, other students are against the idea, saying that the Beijing Zoo, built in 1906, has a history
of 100 years, and is well –known at home and abroad. So it should remain where it is .What’s more, moving may cause the death of some animals .To move or not ,this is a big decision which has to be made by people in Beijing.
Yours truly,
