有人向千余名中小学生提出这个问题,结果是99%的人都说出了这个答案:“一只都没有呗,都吓跑了。”
我们该高兴吗?为学生的聪明?为如此一般的回答?
可有人还有这样的回答:还有三只。因为五只鸟是一家人,猎人打死了鸟爸爸。吓跑了鸟妈妈,还剩下了三个不会飞的鸟宝宝。这个与众不同的答案可笑吗?合乎情理吗?如果这回答正确,那么其他人的想象力又到哪里去了呢?
我不得不反省从小受到的教育:任何问题总有一个“标准答案”。我们回答问题、完成作业,与标准答案一致的便是正确的';反之则是错误的。于是我们总想着去琢磨标准答案是什么。
其实,我们并非生来如此。咿呀学语时,我们对周围世界充满好奇心。一声雷响、一寸色彩、一道灯光都会吸引我们的注意,有时一只小黄狗的“汪汪”喊叫也会使我们感到新奇,甚至会琢磨小黄狗究竟在喊叫什么:“叫它的妈妈?呼唤小伙伴?还是他的肚子饿了?……”
然而,随着我们的成长,渐渐地对周围事物感到习以为常了,好奇心没有了,想象力也随之而去了。
或许,我们面对这个世界,早已变得麻木不仁了。
众生一面,每个人的想法都近乎一致,这样世界还有乐趣可言吗?还能称其为五彩缤纷的社会吗?
我们要学知识、懂道理,但我们更需要想象力。
在我们得到一个无所谓的“标准答案”时,首先应想一想:标准答案对不对?对在哪里?有没有别的答案?
对于这个世界,我们应该用怀疑的态度来审视它。不要尘封大脑的想象力,而要尽力发掘它。
想象不是错。
错不在想象。
错在没想象。
好的文章动静结合、张弛有度有节奏感。句式也是一样,要有变化性,这不仅能使文章更生动,也是语言表达方式的需要和表达能力的体现。句式的`变化,主要是要注意两点:
● 不要从头至尾使用一种句型。
● 长短句结合。
由于语言功底的欠缺和惯用思维,很多人写的文章一种句式到头,如:
I think …
I hope…
He does it.
He will take it
这样的文章虽然意思表达出来了,却显得呆板,欠生动。解决的办法是:
1.间或使用主从复句。
Because he is very much determined, he will carry it out this time. (原因
比较:He is very much determined. He will carry it out this time.
2.使用分词结构句。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went sightseeing.
比较:The weather is fine. A large number of people went sightseeing.
Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.
比较:Africa is the second largest continent. Its size is about three times that of China.
3.使用不定式句。
To be or not to be, that is a question. (莎士比亚
To study or not to study, that is much different.(引申
To do it well, you must plan it well.
比较:You want to do it well. And you must plan it well.
4.倒装句
Only when we fully recognize its importance can we have control of its essence.
比较:After we fully recognize its importance, we can have control of its essence.
No sooner had he arrived home than it began to rain.
比较:He arrived home. And it began to rain.
5.失衡句
whether or not he will come is still unknown to all the people present.
比较:No one present knows whether he will come or not.
That he has done it all by himself is known to everyone.
比较:Everyone knows that he has done it all by himself.
当然,句子并不是越长越好,也不是越复杂水平就越高。凡事皆有度。太多长句的堆砌让人觉得是买弄。有时侯,一个短小精辟的句子可以起到画龙点睛的作用。特别是在文末段尾。比如:
●As a creature, every one knows.
●Actions speak louder than words.
●Practice makes perfect.
