读同学们的作文,感受最深的是两种情况:一种是“落花流水春去也”,我自飘零水自流,就事论事,空洞议论;一种是“为赋新词强说愁”,情感泛滥,抒情无着。
如果写的人心中没有炽热的感情,却想在作品中表现出什么打动人心的情感,这种可能是是极小的,要想感动别人,就首先要感动自己。但是,就算已经感动了自己,也不见得就能感动别人。这里面就有方法的问题,写作的手法显得尤为重要。
不是少年无情愁,为赋新词强说愁,而是愁在心里人自知,他人何处觅秋风。别人感受不到,那是因为写的人没有很好的表达,无关乎愁深愁浅。
有一首歌这样唱:最近有点烦,有点烦,有点烦。烦确实是烦了,主要是听的人烦了,一句话反复说,不烦才怪。但是,烦的意境有没有出来?没有。也许心绪是有了,感染力却没有,无法给人身临其境的触动。如果连音乐的曲调也没有了,那简直就成了噪音。
这种抒情法是最糟糕的,直抒情意,简单粗暴。写作是表情达意的艺术,不仅要把意思表达清楚明白,还要表达得体有情味,这样的作品才有可读性,才能在考场上拿高分。
“微凉的秋风卷起散落一地的枯叶,然后撒手而去,任凭枯叶化作一只只残蝶,而后绝望地坠。枝头那颤抖的枯叶,终是敌不过风的诱惑,挣脱开母亲的手投向了大地的怀抱。离开了的,终是回不去了吧…… ”这是同学的习作。文字有了情境,给人以画面感,笔端流露出情绪。作者虽然没有直接去抒情,却是有意地表现情意,加上最后一句“离开的了,终是回不去了吧”,便可引出下文的.回忆。
有景有情,有画面,有情境,借情抒情,不得不说,这种抒情法又上升了一个层次。
但是,如果细品,还是会感觉这样的景是被心绪扭曲了的景,并非自然,甚至因为扭曲过分而显出了虚假的成分。
最高级的抒情,是将景和情融为一体,不偏不倚,景中有情,情中有景。秦少游有一首《减字木兰花》:欲见回肠,断尽金炉小篆香。“回肠”是作者内心千回百转的感情,当然是看不见的。但是,作者又要让读者看见,怎么办?他就说了,你想看见我千回百转的感情,就去看看那个金炉中断尽的小篆香。香燃尽了,灰烬掉下来,就像是一个个小篆字一样,柔糜,缠绵,根本分不清谁是谁。
在这句词中,回肠就是小篆香,小篆香就是回肠,也就是物即情,情即物,情物一体。作者秦少游不是将自己的情感投射到燃尽的香灰上,而是将情感融入到其中,给人以丰富的联想和体验。
这是将情比物,还有将物比情的:自在飞花轻似梦,无边丝雨细如愁。如果说将情比物是为了让情感更直观地表现,那么,将物比情就是直接赋予物以人的情感了,飞花轻似梦,便是物我相融,这里的“我”也就不再是一个独立的我,而是一个能与宇宙自然融而为一的无处不在的“我”。
情不再是人的情,也是物的情,情不再是“我”的情,也是你的情,他的情,这样的抒情也就让情感更具有包容性,共情性,也就更能打动读者。
对于有心之人来说,柴米油盐酱醋茶里皆有深情;对于会表达的人来说,信手拈来,便是情感汪洋,可以漫漶整个世界。
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。
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.
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.
