英語寫作復(fù)雜思維表達(dá)三段論

　　中文書面表達(dá)方式和英文書面表達(dá)方式存在很大的差異。英文寫作能力提高的捷徑就是首先對比中英文表達(dá)方式的差異，然后學(xué)會把中文表達(dá)方式轉(zhuǎn)換為英文表達(dá)方式。譬如

　　一、主語的幾種表達(dá)格式。

　　1.他們能夠保存自己歷史的唯一途徑就是，由講述人一代接一代地將史實描述為傳奇故事口傳下來。

　　The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellers to another.

　　2.弗吉尼亞.伍爾夫(Virginia Woolf)關(guān)于她寫作《黛洛維夫人》(Mrs. Dalloway)意圖的具有爭議性的陳述通常被評論家們所忽略了，因為它突出反映了她諸多文學(xué)興趣中某一方面，而這一方面則與人們對“詩性”小說家(poetic novelist)所形成的傳統(tǒng)見解大相徑庭。所謂的“詩性”小說家，所關(guān)注的是審視想入非非和白日夢幻的諸般狀態(tài)，并致力于追尋個體意識的通幽曲徑。

　　Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics，since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.

　　4.企圖消除自己和讀者之間距離或企圖用不了解自己的人的角度來研究自己塑造的形象，很可能會是作家自己毀滅，因為他已經(jīng)開始為取悅他人而寫作了。

　　The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.

　　human cloning.
