1。 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、亲耳所闻的经历。它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,使人到真实可信,如身临其境。如:
The other day, I was driving along the street。 Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast。 I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side。 But it was too late。 The car hit my bike and I fell off it。
用第三人称叙述,优点在于叙述者不受“我”活动范围以内的人和事物的限制,而是通过作者与读者之外的第三者,直接把故事中的情节展现在读者面前,文章的客观性很强。如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard。 On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover。 Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short。 What could he do? Then he had a good idea。
2。 动词的时态
在记叙文中,记和叙都离不开动词。所以动词出现率最高,且富于变化。记叙文中用得最多的是动词的过去的',这是英语记叙文区别于汉语记叙文的关键之处。英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,正是这一点才使得所记、所叙有鲜活的动态感、鲜明的层次感和立体感。
3。 叙述的顺序
记叙一件事要有一定的顺序。无论是顺叙、倒叙、插叙还是补叙,都要让读者能弄清事情的来龙去脉。顺叙最容易操作,较容易给读者提供有关事情的空间和时间线索。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,读起来平淡乏味。倒叙、插叙、补叙等叙述方法能有效地提高文章的结构效果,让所叙之事跌宕起伏,使读者在阅读时思维产生较大的跳跃,从而为文章所吸引,深入其中。但这些方法如果使用不当,则容易弄巧成拙,使文章结构散乱,头绪不清,让读者不知所云。
4。 叙述的过渡
过渡在上下文中起着承上启下、融会贯通的作用。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things。 Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao。 It is really a beautiful city。 There are many places of interest to see。 But what impressed me most was the sunrise。
The next morning I got up early。 I was very happy because it was a fine day。 By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red。 In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing。 The sun was very red, not shining。 It rose slowly。 At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball。 At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright。
What a moving and unforgettable scene!
5。 叙述与对话
引用故事情节中主要人物的对话是记叙文提高表现力的一种好方法。适当地用直接引语代替间接的主观叙述,可以客观生动地反映人物的性格、品质和心理状态,使记叙生动、有趣,使文章内容更加充实、具体。试比较下面两段的叙述效果:
I was in the kitchen, and I was cooking something。 Suddenly I heard a loud noise from the front。 I thought maybe someone was knocking the door。 I asked who it was but I heard no reply。 After a while I saw my cat running across the parlor。 I realized it was the cat。 I felt released。
这本来应是一段故事性很强的文字,但经作者这么一写,就不那么吸引人了。原因是文中用的都是叙述模式,没有人物语言,把“悬念”给冲淡了。可作如下调整:
I was in the kitchen cooking something。 "Crash!" a loud noise came from the front。 Thinking someone was knocking at the door, I asked, "Who?" No reply。 After a while, I saw my cat running across the parlor。 "It's you。" I said, quite released。
1。 头绪分明,脉络清楚
写好记叙文,首先要头绪分明,脉络清楚,明确文章要求写什么。要对所写的事件或人物进行分析,弄清事件发生、发展一直到结束的整个过程,然后再收集选取素材。这些素材都应该跟上述五个“ W ”和一个“ H ”有关。尽管不是每篇记叙文里都必须包括这些“ W ”和“ H ”,但动笔之前,围绕五个“ W ”和“ H ”进行构思是必不可少的。
2。 突出中心,详略得当
在文章的框架确定后,对支持故事的素材的选取是很关键的。选材要注意取舍,应该从表现文章主题的需要出发,分清主次,定好详略。要突出重点,详写细述那些能表现文章主题的重要情节,略写粗述那么非关键的次要情节。面面俱到反而使情节罗列化,使人不得要领。这一点是写好记叙文要解决的一个基本问题,也需要一定的技巧。如:
One night a man came to our house and told me, "There is a family with eight children。 They have not eaten for days。" I took some food with me and went。
When I finally came to that family, I saw the faces of those little children disfigured (破坏外貌) by hunger。 There was no sorrow or sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger。
I gave the rice to the mother。 She divided the rice in two, and went out, carrying half the rice。 When she came back, I asked her, "Where did you go?" she gave me this simple answer, "To my neighbors — they are hungry also!"
3。 用活语言,准确生动
记叙文要用具体的事件和生动的语言对人、事、物加以叙述。一篇好的记叙文的语言既要准确、生动,又要表现力强,这样才能把人、事描写得具体生动,其可读性才强。试比较下面一篇例文修改的前后效果。
原文:
One day Xiaoqiang was wandering away。 He was soon lost among people and traffic。 He could not find the way back home and started crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by found him standing alone in front of a shop and crying。 They went up to Xiaoqiang and asked him what had happened。 Xiaoqiang told them how he got lost and where he lived。 The two students decided to take him home。 Mother was pleased to see Xiaoqiang come back safe and sound。 She invited the two students into the house and gave them some money, but they didn't take it。 She served them with tea but they left。
修改后:
The other day, five-year-old Xiaoqiang left home alone and wandered happily in the street。 After some time, he felt hungry so he wanted to go back home。 But he found he was lost among the crowded people and heavy traffic。 When he could not find the way home, he started and crying。 Just then, two young students who were passing by from school found him sanding crying in front of a shop。 They immediately went up to him。
"Little boy, why are you standing here crying?" they asked。
"I want Mom, I go home。" said the boy, still crying。
"Don't worry, we'll send you home。"
And they spent the next two hours looking for the boy's house。 With the help of a policeman, they finally found it。
When the worried mother saw her son come back safe and sound, she was so thankful and she invited the students into her house。 Gratefully, she offered them some money, saying it was a way to express her thanks, but the young students firmly refused it and left without even a cup of tea。
导入:
第1段:提出一种现象或某个决定作为议论的话题
As a student, I am strongly in favour of the decision. (亮明自己的观点是赞成还是反对
The reasons for this may be listed as follows. (过渡句,承上启下
正文:
第2段:First of all... Secondly... Besides...(列出2~3个赞成或反对的`理由
结论:
第3段:In conclusion, I believe that... (照应第1段,构成"总—分—总"结构
相信自己是一种信念,它不是繁花如梦似锦,却如青松雪压不倒。正因为有了这样的信念,我们才会坚持到底,自信永远。
听取意见是一种气度,它不是高天辽阔无际,却如大海容纳百川。正因为有了这样的气度,我们才会集思广益,从善如流。
不是吗?相信自己不意味固执己见;听取意见也不代表亦步亦趋。
唐太宗自由治理国家的雄才大略,他不怀疑自己的才能,但同时也接纳了魏征的“十思”,而不必“劳神苦思,代百司之职役”。
齐王也有管四方,理朝政的能耐,他也不会怀疑自己的才能,但他同时也接受了邹忌的“纳谏”,而使“燕、赵、韩、魏皆朝于齐”。
谁都不会轻易怀疑自己,可谁又能像前人那样善于纳谏,听取别人的意见呢?总以为“相信自己”和“听取别人的意见”势不两立,总以为自己无所不能,或总以为别人无往而不胜,何必呢?我们为什么不能在相信自己,满怀自信的同时打开那一个个布满友爱之心的劝烟箱呢?
相信自己,相信未来,相信明天大地飞歌,相信未来有我们开拓。
相信别人,尊重别人,相信别人为你着想,尊重别人理想的选择。
是的,在人生的旅途中,我们总会遇到困难和挫折,它们如同玫瑰,刺痛了你我的手,但是,心灵的创伤要靠我们自己修补,手上的伤口还得让别人为我们包扎。我们相信自己会战胜困难,但我们从不否定他人的帮助,没有谁能独自生活而没有他人的帮助。
所以,不要固执,偏激,不要一味按自己的意愿行事。有时别人的劝言犹如良药,虽然苦,却能根治你的病痛。也有时,别人的劝言犹如毒药,它的外表也许是鲜美的,但却能要了你的命。所以,我们让需相信自己,有选择地,理性地,明智地对待别人的意见。好的,拿过来就是;不好的,任它去吧,春风吹了又吹,花儿开了又谢,我们管得了那么多吗?
相信自己,你做到了吗?
听取别人的意见,你会吗?
导入:
第1段:Some people hold the opinion that A is superior to B in many ways. Others, however, argue that B is much better. Personally, I would prefer A because I think A has more advantages.
正文:

第3段: Of course, B also has advantages to some extent... (列出1~2个B的优势
结论:
第4段: But if all these factors are considered, A is much better than B. From what has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that ...(得出结论 オ
Last Sunday, Jim went out to fly a kite. The kite flew highly in the sky. Jim ran with it happily.
Suddenly the line was broken and the kite flew away. Soon it disappeared. Where was it?
Jim had no idea. So he had to run here and there to look for the kite. At last he saw it on the top of the tree. He tried to get it down. But he couldn’t. He felt sad.
我们都知道,史蒂芬"霍金是一位只能用手敲击键盘而其他部位均已瘫痪的坐在轮椅上的科学家。曾经有一位女记者悲悯地问他:“霍金先生,卢伽雷病已将你永远固定在轮椅上,你不认为命运让你失去太多了吗?”让我们听听霍金的回答吧:“我的手指还能活动,我的大脑还在思维;我有终生追求的理想,有我爱和爱我的亲人和朋友;对了,我还有一颗感恩的心……”是什么造就了这位被称作“当代爱因斯坦”的科学巨匠呢?就是一颗感恩之心!无论上帝给了他什么样的命运,无论命运给了他什么样的痛苦和挫折,他依然感谢上帝,感谢生活,感谢他的亲人和朋友!“感恩”成了霍金人生路上不息的动力!
你是否常常抱怨命运的不公呢?那么,想想霍金吧。生活就是这样,该属于你的终会降临于你,不属于你的永远也不能强求。少些抱怨之言,多些感恩之心,太阳会更加灿烂,人生会更加靓丽。永远不要因为抱怨而失去感恩之心。有一个人从小双目失明,懂事以后他天天烦恼,认定这是老天在责罚他,自己这一辈子算是完了。亲友、社会都来关怀他,照顾他,但他不愿在被怜悯中度过一生。后来一位老师开导他说:“世上每个人都是被上帝咬过一口的苹果,都是有缺陷的人。有的人缺陷比较大,是因为上帝特别喜爱他的芬芳。”他很受鼓舞,从此他不再生活在抱怨之中,从此他把失明看作是上帝的特殊钟爱,为了感谢上帝的这份恩宠,他不断地努力,若干年后,当地便传诵着一位德艺双馨的盲人推拿师的故事……
每个人的命运是不同的,然而这并不重要,重要的是你是否能以一颗感恩之心去对待它。与霍金相比,与这位盲人推拿师相比,我们有着健全的四肢,明亮的双眼,我们还有什么理由不怀有一颗感恩之心呢?鸦有反哺之义,羊有跪乳之恩;胡马依北风,越鸟朝南枝;乌鸟返故乡兮,狐死必首丘。大自然中,感恩种种,此情依依。鸟兽犹如此,人应如何呢?也许我们的人生路上会有风雨,也会有黑夜,但是,请不要因为风雨而忘记了太阳的明媚,不要因为黑夜而忘记了星星的灿烂。
带上一颗感恩之心去播种,你将收获累累硕果;带上一颗感恩之心去旅行,你将收获一路风景;带上一颗感恩之心去生活,你将收获丰厚人生!
