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。
导入:

I was born in a beautiful town with high mountains around it.The mountains are covered with all kinds of green bamboo.Through the town runs a small stream.It’s said that a new railway is going to be built to the east of the town and a bamboo factory to the west.All the children of the school age can go to school.If anyone is ill,he can go to see the doctor in the newly-built hospital.People in the town are hard-working and never take the backwardness lying down.Though they are having a richer and better life,they are not satisfied with what they have got.They are working hard to build their town into a modern one.
托着下巴的我,透过窗户对着清冷的夜空又一次地唉声叹气。“哎,英语好难啊。”望着这一个个似是而非的选项,我的脑袋里好像被蛀空了一般,如同外面的夜空——黑漆漆的,又似一团团乱麻,越缠越杂。“灵感啊,你快闪一闪吧?”我边敲打着脑袋边默默祈祷好运的降临。
“怎么,思维又被卡住了?”爸爸不知何时已来到了我身边。“是啊,太难了,好几处选项我都吃不准,看来我可能真的不是学英语的料啊。”我明显底气不足地对老爸抱怨。“既然这样,就不要傻坐在那里了,走,陪我出去走走吧。”爸爸提议。我刚想拒绝,老爸立马拉上我就走。
大地已经沉睡了,除了微风轻轻地吹着,除了偶然一两声狗的吠叫,冷落的街道是寂静无声的。我和爸爸漫步在街头,谁也不说话。老爸的余光瞟过我几眼,我故意没看到,因为我还没想好说些什么。突然爸爸开口了:“女儿,看到那只和小孩嬉戏的小狗了吗?”我顺着老爸手指的方向看到这样的画面——小主人用骨头一次次地戏弄小狗,而小狗却执着地尝试着品尝它的的美味,连续几次的挫败并没有打消小狗最初的梦想,最后,在小狗猛的一跃中,小男孩手中的骨头成了它的战利品。我拉过视线,看到了爸爸意味深长的眼神,我沉默了,我知道他是借小狗说我呢。“其实,只要是,总有失败的时候,对你来说,英语那如堤坝般无法逾越的90分,就如小狗眼中的骨头,你想拥有到它,就不要怕失败。谁都知道,放弃了就什么也没有了,你当真决定要放弃了么?
爸爸说完,微笑着眨着眼睛,然后潇洒地和我挥了挥手,只留给我一个坚实的背影。
望着爸爸远去的背影,又看了看正津津有味吃着美味的小狗,我陷入了沉思。平时在英语上我总是自以为是地觉得自己已经付出了很多,但是回报太少;看别人考试高分常有,而我总是差那么一截。导致现在已经到了厌读怕背的'程度,而事实是越厌越怕当然成绩越差,现在对英语的畏难情绪已经比较严重了。老爸一下就看到了我的弱点,哎,知我者果然是老爸也。可老爸,你该明白,我怎么可能连这些小动物都不如呢?不,不会的,只要我努力,我一定可以学好英语。我也要朝着我的骨头勇往直前,我绝不能让英语这门功课落下太多,更不能让它成为我的绊脚石。灯光下爸爸已经走到了拐角处,我深深吸了口气,朝着爸爸的背影大声叫道:“等等我……”我第一次感觉前面的路是如此敞亮。
“好了,快点走吧,回去后,英语一定要读,要背哦。”爸爸远远地朝我说。“知——道——了——”,我迈开了轻快地步伐,大步流星的向爸爸跑去……站在拐角处,心中已然有了答案,拐个弯,那里一定是别有一番风景。
是的,走过那个拐角,我的世界不再死寂,在那儿,我看到了属于我的那片青青草原——青草,绿树,红花……
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.
