3.2 分析结果与探讨
从上表可以看出，韩礼德的六个过程模式在英文议论中呈现不均衡分布。从整体来看，物质过程和关系过程所占比例分别为33%和34.4%。这就意味着在英文议论文中，物质和关系过程占据主体地位，二者总体超过总数的三分之二，而其他四个过程仅占不到三分之一。单从主句来看，关系过程以41.2%的比例占据主导地位，同时，我们可以发现一个非常有趣的现象，即物质，心理，言语过程所占比例均为16.5%。在从句的过程分布比例中，物质过程占41.5%，非常接近关系过程在主句中所占的比重。其次是关系过程，所占百分比为23.4。存在过程在整体分句，主句及从句中的分布比例较为稳定。出现比例最小的为行为过程。
结合小句过程模式的分布比例和议论文的特点，笔者的分析如下：
第一，物质过程是摆事实，讲论据的最佳途径。作为质询和决策的方式之一，议论文应当提供充分有力的证据来引领读者挖掘事件的方方面面。论据通常包括常识，例证，事实，数据，引用等等。有效的论据必须能够清楚直接地证明论点cssci期刊目录。一般情况下，人的行为即为已经发生的无可改变的既成事实，而物质过程作为外部经验的表述恰好使其成为了提供论据最为常用的模式。在议论文中，从句通常扮演着为主句提供事实或数据的角色，由此不难解释为何物质过程在从句中占据绝对比例。例如，在复杂句“advertisements are now so numerous that theyare very negligently perused”中，其从句“they are verynegligently perused，”阐述了主句所引发的事实结果。相反地，主观意见和心理活动的论证说明力远不如事实，这也正是心理过程在议论文中所占比重较小的原因。
第二，关系过程在英文议论文中的显著地位源于其对逻辑关系的阐释。逻辑性对议论文至关重要功能语法，议论文的目的就是通过理性说明来赢得读者的认同，而读者对新观点的认同建立在其已认同的事实和原理的基础之上。因此，从本质上来说，议论文是通过良好的逻辑建立和加强共同与合作意识的过程。换言之，所有能够作为论据的事实和原理都必须相互并与结论有逻辑性地联系在一起，任何逻辑错误或推理失误都可能导致读者对整篇文章论点的怀疑。关系过程，表明一项经验与另一项经验之间的关系，恰好能够清楚地阐释读议论文中的逻辑关系。以代表句型“x is a”为例，x与a之间的逻辑关系并非唯一的。a既可作为某项特征表明x的特性，也可作为指代与x进行互换。简而言之，在关系过程中，主句通常是被从句归纳化或概念化的特征或指代。
第三，在英文议论中，看似表达主观观点与意愿的言语过程同样不可或缺。引用权威的语言，观点，评论或表达都常常作为强有力的事实支撑来赞同或反对某一观点，而无论是直接引用还是间接引用，都必须通过言语过程来体现。
第四，其他过程类型在英文议论文中同样占据一席之地并发挥着举足轻重的作用。对议论文而言，描述，叙述，阐释等写作手法的合理利用与相辅相成无疑是锦上添花。正因如此，六个过程在英文议论文中的不同分布比例恰好是议论文客观，有逻辑，严肃及某种程度上带有一定主观色彩的特点等要求的自然结果。

水——我们的朋友 平达曾说过：“自然界的一切事物中，唯有水最珍贵。”是啊，水是我们的朋友，没有了水，就没有了我们。让我们一起与水做个好朋友吧！ 水看见人们不节约用水，伤心地说：我对人类的所作所为感到不满，我为人类做了那么多的贡献，可人类总是滥用我。这样既会导致水源的'流失，又会严重影响生态环境。 在生活中，处处都要用到水。洗菜要用水，洗车要用水，洗澡要用水??，这往往会浪费很多水。其实，请把水龙头开小一点，把废水再次利用，这样我们就能与水做好朋友了。比如：洗菜水可以浇花；洗澡水可以冲马桶??这样，不仅能节约用水，还对别的事物有好处呢！ 如果水能这

BOOK REPORT_Oliver Twist
Charles Dickens is one of the most famous novelists of the Victorian Age. When Charles Dickens was young, his father was put into prison. During this time, Dickens was living by himself and working in the underground cell of a shoe blacking factory. Maybe it is because this period of experience that makes Charles Dickens’s works are more focused on the living condition of the poor. In many of his novels, Dickens showed his sympathy for the poor. Just like this book-Oliver Twist in which Charles Dickens described the miserable life of the poor children and exposed the seedy side of the society at that time.
Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens' most popular stories. Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse in 1930s. Later, he was sent to a Coffin shop as an apprentice. As he couldn’t endure the oppression from his boss, he fled to London. However, on the way to London, he was cheated into the haunt of thieves and trained to be a thief. On one occasion, he was taken in by a rich man—Mr. Brownlow. But unfortunately, he was framed and entrapped into the haunt of thieves again. But Oliver still believes that there are hopes in his life. Finally, Nancy, a kind-hearted woman pickpocket, rescued Oliver from dangers despite the threat of the thief-in-chief and told Brownlow that actually Oliver is his good friend’s son. Nancy was killed at the end of the story, but the police surround the haunt of thieves immediately and Oliver reunited with his family members.
Of the characters in this story, Oliver, Nancy and Miss Ross represent the goodness that they are born in suffering, grow in dark world, but still keep a heart ofgold. None of the hardships can through them into the hell. Oliver is a brave and strong child that he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. But no matter how tough his life is he never gives up his belief. What’s more, in Oliver Twist, morality and nobility are always black-and-white issues. Just like Monks, who was a greedy, ruthless, shameless person, represents the black, Olive can represents the white. But Nancy, a thief who has done something bad, finally been influenced by Oliver and decided to help Oliver. This gives us the implication that the boundary between virtue and vice is not always so distinct.
Charles Dickens praised ideal human nature and interpersonal relationships and he hoped to use his pen to express his ideals in that the reality is very cruel. So, through this novel, Dickens criticized the seedy side of the capitalist society at that time and expressed his deep sympathy about the bottom class who lived in a miserable life. In this way the people could realize the social reality and consider more about their behavior. But on the other hand, Dickens shows his wish through this novel that people should firm their belief no matter what they are suffering about and evil can never prevail over good.
