一、何为“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”。
很多雅思写作考题的提问方式都是“Do you agree or disagree?”或者“To what extent do you agree or disagree?”。很多刚刚接触雅思的学生甚至是老师认为对于这种提问方式无非就是yes或no两种答案,所以文章的观点也就只能是同意或者不同意了。其实,对于这类提问,也可以采用“折衷”的观点,即“partly agree,partly disagree”(部分同意,部分不同意)。但是前提是一定要在文章中从支持和反对的两方面都阐述一些理由,而且最好再提出一种“折衷”方案。例如,考题问“现在很多人用动物做试验,你同意吗?”,考生可以在文中分别讨论支持和反对动物试验的理由,最后提出动物试验既有好处也有坏处,这就是一种“折衷”观点。除此之外,作者还提出了是否能用动物来做试验主要是取决于试验是否能给人类生活带来显著的改善(比如帮助人类发明治疗Aids的药物),这就属于“折衷”方案。
二、“折衷观点”和“折衷方案”的几种形式。
那么如何提出“折衷观点”呢?“折衷方案”又有哪几种形式呢?下面笔者将对常见的几种安排折衷观点和折衷方案的'形式,结合相应的考题进行总结。
(1) 兴利除弊
“兴利除弊”应该是一种比较简单的折衷方案,在优缺点类文章中特别常用。即在分析完考题所涉及事物的优缺点之后,在结尾段提出“优缺点都有,我们要兴利除弊”这样的折衷方案。例如以下考题:
The advantages brought by the spread of English as a “global language” will outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?
在讨论完英语作为全球性语言的利与弊之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷观点:
To sum up, it is difficult to tell whether or not the advantages outweigh the disadvantages regarding the spread of English as a global language. What we may have to consider is how to accept this trend as positive while at the same time staying away from its drawbacks.
(2) 平衡发展
很多考题需要考生讨论两种观点,通常会有“discuss both views and give your own opinion”这样的提问要求。很多情况下,文中说到的两种观点表面上看来是完全相反,但其实并不矛盾,可以用“平衡发展”的思路来提出观点。例如考题:
Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe it is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss on both sides and give your opinion.
在讨论完发展旅游的必要性和保护文化传统的重要性之后,结尾段可以这样提出折衷方案:
We should find the right balance between tourism development and cultural protection and I believe the government has a very important role to play here. In my own country, for example, many tourist cities have made effective development plans to successfully attract large numbers of visitors while still preserving their distinct cultural traditions.
(3) 取决于……
有时在讨论完A和B两种观点以后,可以提出类似于“同意A还是B要取决于……”这样的折衷观点,前文讲到的动物试验是否可以进行取决于试验的性质就是属于这样的方案。再比如下面这个例子:
Some people think that the animals should be treated as pets; others think that animals are sources of food and clothing. What is your opinion?
在讨论完动物当宠物养的理由和动物当食物吃的理由之后,结尾段可以这样提出观点:
From my point of view, there is no absolute answer as to whether animals should be treated like pets or as sources of food and clothes. It largely depends on what kinds of animals they are. But what remains undoubted is that we should treat animals with a humane attitude and bear in mind that they are important in preserving nature’s ecological equilibrium.
(4) 解决方法
很多双边讨论型文章中所讨论的两种观点其实是可以通过某种方案来“化解矛盾”的,例如这道考题:
In many countries, good schools and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think new teachers and doctors should wok in rural areas for a few years, but others think everyone should be free to choose where they work. Discuss and give your own opinion.
在讨论完“支边”的利(缩小城乡差距)与弊(年轻人丧失自由)之后,我们可以提出这样一种解决方案:
The best solution, therefore, is not to order, but to encourage. We should instill a sense of responsibility in young people and give more incentives to those who are willing to work in difficult areas, so that we can address the problem of urban-rural disparity while respecting whatever decisions new teachers or doctors have made.
The person I admire is my mum. She is an English teacher. She is very popular among the students because she spends lots of time on her lessons and has a good sense of humor. Students all enjoy her class.
My mum is not only a good teacher, but also a great mother. She is patient with me and always smiling while talking. My mum teaches me how to think independently and helps me to build up my confidence. When I have some difficulties in my studies, it is my mum who encourages me to work until I solve the problem. When I’m feeling sad or bad, it is also my mum who looks after me with care.
I remember when I caught a fever at midnight last year, my mum took me to the hospital as fast as she could. When we got home after my injection, it was about 5 o’clock in the early morning. My mum only slept 2 hours because she had to wake up at 7 o’clock to prepare breakfast for me, and then she went to work. She must be very tired that day.
My mum is not very beautiful, but I admire and love her.
漂亮的表达观点的英文句式
至于我,我支持争论的后半部分。原因如下:
在我看来,支持第一种观点比支持第二种观点更有道理。
如下的原因可解释我的倾向。
, I should give my standards for … 为使我的观点更加清楚,我给出我关于…的标准。
that … 我不相信,因此强烈反对,这一主张,即…
6 My final and perhaps my best reason for not doing something is … 我不做某事最终的,或许最好的理由是…
7 For the same reason, it matters to me that … 同样原因,我很在乎…
… 出于这些原因,我推荐/建议… (recommend做建议讲时,接从句要用虚拟,即谓语用(should+动词原形)
9 My answer is that …. I have several reasons, and they’re good ones. The first is the one that … 我的回答是…。我有几个理由而且它们是很充分的

有些材料不一定新鲜,但如果考生能别出心裁,从另一角度进行开拓,也能提出新的见解、新的观点。运用发散思维,能开拓思路,扩展视野;运用逆向思维,则能推陈出新。2010年高考语文安徽卷作文以诗“交流四水抱城斜,散作千溪遍万家。深处种菱浅种稻,不深不浅种荷花”为材料。可根据的后两句体现“因地制宜”的规律,联想到因人制宜、因事制宜、因文制宜,因国制宜,因楼制宜,因价制宜等。也可从水的角度构思,水抱城郭,深处可种菱,浅出可种稻,不深不浅处可种荷花,无水的岸边可住人家。水有上善之德,泰勒说:“水是万物本源。”水影响了整个生态和世界的变迁,由此还可以联想到一切作为本源的东西,如炎黄、风***、儒家文化圈等。还可从美的角度立意,本诗用明白简练的语言描绘了吴兴的美景,“美”是从阅读整诗的感受的角度提炼出来的哲理。马克思主义美学观认为“美是主客体的和谐统一”,即“和谐为美”。可以联想五官和谐之美、自然和谐之美、人际和谐之美、国家和谐之美、和谐世界理念。不和谐的是强拆、污染、贸易战争、世界霸权等。
五、通过事理,引申一步
同一个材料可从不同的角度引申事理,要在一般人的思路共集处的基础上,引申一步,提出更新更深的观点。如2010年高考语文上海卷作文材料是“丹麦人钓鱼”的故事和孟子关于捕鱼的论述,素材表达的核心思想是“可持续发展”。材料中的“鱼”可以是自然资源的借代,也可以是一切资源的借喻。那么,可持续的就不仅仅是自然界,还可以是人类自身,是孩子,是自我,是社会,甚至世界本身。材料中的丹麦人、孟子,尺子、渔网,小鱼、大鱼都可以成为构思角度。若从小鱼的角度构思,对渔网和人们心目中的尺寸做反思,呼吁给予它们成长的空间,以便发展、壮大,引申开来可以谈青少年的成长,呼吁给予青少年成长更宽松、自由的空间,谈创新产品的孵化,谈新型文化的命运等,更容易给人以启迪。再如2010年高考语文广东卷作文“与你为邻”,“你”,可以是身边的朋友、同学、同事、领导、孩子、同龄人、长辈等;可以是非身边的,历史上的、社会生活中与自己有一定距离的、文学艺术中的、未来时空中的人物,如苏轼、李清照、洪战辉、丛飞、保尔、林黛玉、甚至是火星人等等;还可以是一种主义、一种信仰、一种理想、一种信念、一种关系、一种意识等。可以从“与你为邻,让我学会了如何做事;与你为邻,让我懂得了如何做人”“与你为邻,说出真话。与你为邻,给出善意。与你为邻,找出美感”“寻找真邻;寻找善邻;寻找美邻”等方面立意。通过事理,做进一步联想,并引申发生开去、会从文题中提炼出好的观点。
从小到大,妈妈一直做家务太辛苦,我觉得我该长大,可以帮妈妈分担一些辛苦。所以,我特别喜欢做一些力所能及的家务。
我帮妈妈擦过地,煮过粥,还冲过药。给我印象最深的就是煮粥,当时正好是大年初一,妈妈生病,没有力气,我就帮妈妈煮粥。我先把小米放到锅里,再拿两把大米,然后淘迷,我把锅里放一半水,接着我用手去上锅里抓米,这样反复几次米就被淘干净,紧接着我把米放在电饭锅里,等十五分钟饭终于出锅,妈妈说我长大。
妈妈跨我长大,懂事,我心里别提多高兴。妈妈还向我道谢,因为今天是大年初一,我还没有休息,我跟妈妈说不用谢,我喜欢干活。
从做家务中,我到劳动的乐趣,同时,也感受到妈妈的辛苦,我越来越喜欢做家务。
有些材料不一定新鲜,但如果考生能别出心裁,从另一角度进行开拓,也能提出新的见解、新的观点。运用发散思维,能开拓思路,扩展视野;运用逆向思维,则能推陈出新。2010年高考语文安徽卷作文以诗“交流四水抱城斜,散作千溪遍万家。深处种菱浅种稻,不深不浅种荷花”为材料。可根据的后两句体现“因地制宜”的规律,联想到因人制宜、因事制宜、因文制宜,因国制宜,因楼制宜,因价制宜等。也可从水的角度构思,水抱城郭,深处可种菱,浅出可种稻,不深不浅处可种荷花,无水的岸边可住人家。水有上善之德,泰勒说:“水是万物本源。”水影响了整个生态和世界的变迁,由此还可以联想到一切作为本源的东西,如炎黄、风***、儒家文化圈等。还可从美的`角度立意,本诗用明白简练的语言描绘了吴兴的美景,“美”是从阅读整诗的感受的角度提炼出来的哲理。马克思主义美学观认为“美是主客体的和谐统一”,即“和谐为美”。可以联想五官和谐之美、自然和谐之美、人际和谐之美、国家和谐之美、和谐世界理念。不和谐的是强拆、污染、贸易战争、世界霸权等。
