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。
天气日渐热了,空气漂浮令人窒息的热气,太阳疯狂了,到处布满了金色。我趁着空闲到家后面的山里游玩乘凉。
山上满是苍翠欲滴的绿,阳光被实实在在挡在外面;我庆幸着,终于摆脱了这恼人的炎热的阳光,悠闲地坐在绿荫环绕的一座小亭子小憩。这里,空气不再是热的,这里,不是太阳的地盘;我仿佛挣脱了夏季的束缚,打开心扉地享受这来自大自然的赐予。
不经意间注意到亭子旁边,茂密的树丛,上面除去绿,还能看见另一些颜色;近点看,是淡紫色,再近点,终于看清了,那是牵牛花,它们奄奄一息,花瓣儿已经蜷缩成一团,垂着头;它们快要死了,在太阳的照射下,脆弱美丽的花可是经不起这些阳光,我不由得心生怜惜之情。
在这绿意盎然的夏,牵牛花却要死亡,结束生命,这难道不令人悲哀。可是,几天之后,天却变了。晴朗、湛蓝的天变得黑暗了。下起雨了,雷在咆哮,雨也在***;空气里弥漫着泥土的气息。日渐地雨停了,风静止了,一切都恢复了平静。天空返晴了,太阳变得温和,散着柔和的光。
我第三去了一趟小亭子,携带一本书,依然坐在那儿。令我意想不到的是,一些新奇的颜色进入我的眼睛,仔细看,那是紫色,那是重获新生的牵牛花。它们张大嘴巴似的张开了花瓣儿,挺挺的;再往后看,绿色的草丛上布满了零零星星的紫色,我看到它们张着笑脸,在欢乐的海洋里荡漾;牵牛花儿们复活了,宣告了它们对夏季的挑战,它们不会在它的打击下,同意失败。我懂了,那些紫色的意义;即便在严酷的威压下,生命的期望依然存在。
