托福寫作高分句型:雙重否定句
大家在準備托福寫作的時候要多多學(xué)習(xí)一些高分的句型表達,雙重否定就是其中一種,下面小編給大家?guī)硗懈懽鞲叻志湫停弘p重否定句。
托福寫作高分句型:雙重否定句
大家一定還記得阿迪達斯的那句經(jīng)典的廣告詞吧? "impossible is nothing!" 短小精悍的一句話,卻給人帶來無限的正能量!
仔細研讀這句話,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),廣告運用了“impossible”和“nothing”這兩個否定詞來加強語氣,使得廣告語強勁有力。
同樣,在2004年的美國大選中,民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人約翰·克里在競選演說中使用了一句讓人至今仍津津樂道地話:“I will never fail to get your kids home.”同樣是雙重否定,使得演講的語言強勁有力。在托福寫作中,我們同樣可以使用雙重否定來潤色我們的文章。
雙重否定句的一個基本用法是主語否定+謂語否定
如“All of us have made mistakes”,使用雙重否定句,我們可以說“None of us has never made mistakes".如此簡單平實的一句話變成了一個語氣非常強烈的句子,毫無疑問,考場上能夠這樣的雙重否定句無疑給人一種眼前一亮的感覺。
如果我們想要表達"It's common for somebody to do something",我們可以說成"It's not uncommon for somebody to do something."將陳述句轉(zhuǎn)化為雙重否定句,給人一種高大上的感覺。
在表達”一定...“的時候,我們完全可以學(xué)習(xí)約翰·克里,使用"never failto"的句型
如我們要表達”我們一定會完成這樣工作“,可以說"We will never fail to complete the tough job".另外,在寫作中,我們經(jīng)常會使用到”越....越好“的句型,這時候我們也可以使用雙重否定句,即使用"cannot...too..."的句型。
如”面對這件事情,我們越小心越好“可以說 "Confronted with such an issue, we cannot be too careful".將陳述句轉(zhuǎn)換成雙重否定句是獨立寫作中的一大的分利器哦!雙重否定句也是比較容易的一種句型,同學(xué)們一定要掌握這種”低投入,高產(chǎn)出“的句式哦!
商務(wù)寫作:雙重否定就是肯定?
Have a look at this example:
來看一下這個例句吧:
WRONG
錯誤
This Escrow Account Agreement expires if no money is not credited to the Escrow Account by 30 June.
假如在6月30日之前沒有錢沒被存入第三方托管賬戶,該第三方托管賬戶協(xié)議即告截止。
Although this grammatical construction is correct in many languages, it is not correct in English. It was, however, common usage several centuries ago, and it still exists in colloquial English now. This explains well known examples such as “I can’t get no satisfaction” and “We don’t need no education”. But it is not correct in formal written English.
盡管這種語法結(jié)構(gòu)在很多語言中都是正確的,但在英語中卻是錯的。然而,在很多個世紀以前,這種用法非常常見,而在今天的英語口語中,也依然存在。這解釋了一些有名的例子,比如“I can’t get no satisfaction 我能得到滿足”以及“We don’t need no education 我們需要教育”。但在正式的書面英語中,這并不是正確的。
The grammatical concept is called “negative concord”. In languages that have negative concord, such as Spanish, Polish and Hungarian, the double negative intensifies the negation. However, in languages that do not have negative concord, such as Standard English and German, a double negative is understood to resolve into a positive.
這種語法概念叫做“否定和諧”。在有否定和諧的語言中,比如西班牙語、波蘭語和匈牙利語,這種雙重否定會加重否定。然而在那些不具有否定和諧的語言中,比如標準英語和德語,雙重否定會形成肯定。
So the above example technically means:
所以那句例句實際上意味著:
This Escrow Account Agreement expires if money is credited to the Escrow Account by 30 June.
如果在6月30日之前有錢被存入第三方托管賬戶,該第三方托管賬戶協(xié)議即告截止。
In reality, of course, it is unlikely anyone would understand it this way, as it wouldn’t make any sense. But the sentence should be corrected as follows:
在現(xiàn)實中,當然,不會有什么人會這樣理解它的,因為這樣毫無意義。但是這句話還是應(yīng)該被改成這樣:
RIGHT
正確
This Escrow Account Agreement expires if no money is credited to the Escrow Account by 30 June 2013.
如果在2013年6月30日之前沒有錢被存入第三方托管賬戶,該第三方托管賬戶協(xié)議即告截止。
托福寫作:寫作備考策略之獨立話題
1.常用論點/理由
針對獨立寫作的常見話題,大致可歸成三類:個人類(關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)、工作、休閑、做人的選擇);古今類(題目中有明顯的now… past … 讓考生判斷現(xiàn)在和過去在某一方面的比較);決策類(題目中通常有g(shù)overnment這個詞出現(xiàn),討論政府的投資或者政策,有些題目雖然沒有g(shù)overnment這個詞出現(xiàn),但如果涉及的是有社會影響力的話題,也可以劃為政府類,比如 A/D Professional athletes such as the football playerand basketball player deserve high salaries that they are paid.)
1)個人類常用理由
學(xué)知識、練技能、拓展視野……..
工作機會、賺錢…….
交朋友、陪伴家人……. (合作、溝通) …….
身體健康、放松心情…….
省時間、省錢、省精力………..
2)古今類常用理由
現(xiàn)代社會的優(yōu)點:
教育: 先進全面鼓勵個性
工作:種類豐富機會多
醫(yī)療:治愈緩解更多疾病
技術(shù):網(wǎng)絡(luò)電子產(chǎn)品汽車
公共設(shè)施:便利的交通娛樂購物餐飲
法律制度:保障個人權(quán)利
媒體:揭露真相傳播信息
人與人:互動頻繁、方便
經(jīng)濟進步:更充裕的錢和無助
世界和平:更少的戰(zhàn)爭傷亡
現(xiàn)代社會的缺點:
環(huán)境問題(污染,能源消耗)
生活壓力(學(xué)習(xí),工作)
欺騙敲詐
3)決策類常用思路
注:除了使用個人類常用理由,針對決策類這種和政府相關(guān)有社會影響力的題目,建議多角度討論,一下是常見的討論角度:
1.大眾 individuals
對我們有什么用?(放松健康省錢知識關(guān)系等等)
是不是我們每個人都需要的?(大多數(shù)/ 小眾)
2. 相關(guān)群體relativegroups
題目中談?wù)摰降谋热鏰rtists,scientists, athletes 等等
3. 企業(yè)companies
企業(yè)有錢,可以代替政府去投資有利可圖的領(lǐng)域
4. 社會 Society
Economy(tourism), culture, safety, improvement …
2.對比段
通常來說,托福獨立寫作的論證寫3段,上文介紹了最基本的常用理由,但有時候,因為各種原因只想出2個理由的時候,可以寫一段對比段,即把對比論證寫一段。
具體案例參考第三部分的機經(jīng)詳解
3.讓步段
除了對比段之外,讓步段也可以解決只有2個理由缺少第三個段落的問題。
具體案例參考第三部分的機經(jīng)詳解
4.拆分法/分情況討論
針對一些比較抽象的獨立寫作話題,我們可以分情況討論,或者對于關(guān)鍵詞進行定義和拆分,在更加具體的情況下方便論證。
具體案例參考第三部分的機經(jīng)詳解
5.檢驗論點
沒有標準答案,這是獨立解題最自由的地方。但這并不意味著什么樣的理由都可以作為論點并且展開段落的。課堂上,一些學(xué)生可以馬上相處三個理由,但仔細探究,可能只有一個理由是可以作為論點的。
這里說一下三個檢驗標準:1.支持觀點 2. 論點相互不重疊 3. 易于展開
6.靈活調(diào)整
根據(jù)ETS的出題,我們知道,題目是千變?nèi)f化的,為了幫助學(xué)生更好的應(yīng)對,老師們會總結(jié)出一些實用方法,對學(xué)生來說,比死記硬別、生搬硬套更重要的是,在題目的練習(xí)中,去運用這些方法,并且靈活的調(diào)整。
如果覺得一些常用理由不適合支持某一道題,那么就放棄這個理由;
如果只想出兩個理由,那么可以加一個讓步段或者對比段;
如果一道題直接用常用理由去支持很難,可以試著拆分法;
如果完全同意/不同意很難,可以試著兩邊倒;
如果題目中有絕對詞,可以部分同意/不同意。
總結(jié):
備考的成功取決于兩個要素:個人的努力 + 實用的方法。單純的背誦方法而不去嘗試解題,是不可能熟練掌握的;一味地做題而不調(diào)整改善也是比較低效的。此文為大家提供了一些題目和方法,并演示了方法的具體運用。建議讀者自己多加嘗試和練習(xí)。另外,知識注定是要更新的,所以讀者若有更好的靈感或者在別的學(xué)習(xí)資料中遇到更好的方法,也可以加以運用。最后,考試是自己考的,老師和學(xué)習(xí)資料是個輔助,大家不要忘記相信自己:)
托福寫作思路從積累托福語料做起
First,請各位3分鐘時間默讀下面的文段(以下范文出自KYLE DeNUCCIO 不同顏色的詞請重點關(guān)注)
①Financial literacy is the ability to use knowledge and skills to make effective and informed money management decisions. Gaining the knowledge and developing the skills to become financially literate is a lifelong process that begins with something as simple as putting a few pennies in a piggy bank, and evolves to more advanced subjects such as risk and asset allocation.
②Because financial literacy is not emphasized in the education system - less than half the states have any financial literacy requirements for grades K-12, and only four states require high school students to take personal finance classes - most kids lack the necessary knowledge and skills to become financially responsible adults. The President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy wrote in its 2008 Annual Report to the President: "By almost any measure, today's school children are ill-equipped to understand personal finance and make their way in the modern financial world. Their rising debt and debt problems, along with their poor inclination to save, substantiate what the test scores show. Meanwhile, most students still graduate from high school without any formal classroom education in personal finance."
③There is now - especially following the global financial crisis that began in 2008 - a growing interest in requiring more personal finance classes in the K-12 setting. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve System has stated that, "One of the key lessons of the recent financial crisis is the importance of personal financial literacy. Besides improving their personal financial decision making, teaching students economic principles will help them as citizens understand and make choices about many of the critical issues confronting our nation."
④Despite this recognition, most things money are still taught at home, where the role of financial educator falls primarily on parents, guardians and other adults in the home. For many adults, however, talking about money is akin to talking about other provocative subjects. Unsure of where to begin and worried about saying the wrong thing, many adults simply avoid conversations about money. This is often made worse by adults' lack of confidence in their own handling of finances. It is important for adults to remember that, even if they are not financial rock stars themselves, they have experience and perspective on their sides, and can draw both from their financial mistakes and successes to share essential knowledge and skills to their children. It starts with a conversation.
⑤In our first guide, Teaching Financial Literacy To Kids, we introduced concepts that are appropriate for the youngest learners, such as the difference between needs and wants.(細節(jié)!!) / In part two of the series, Teaching Financial Literacy To Tweens, we covered intermediate topics, including income and expenses, saving for long-term goals and entrepreneurship. / In this tutorial, designed especially for teaching teens, we introduce the more advanced topics suitable for teenagers, including budgeting, credit and debt, money management and investing.(細節(jié)!!)(473words)
