为什么要提这一点呢?因为长期以来,GRE issue一直给学生甚至部分老师一种幻觉,那就是:既然是学术考试,就必须要把文章写得很学术。比如,凡是出现法律类的题目,就必须把法律的基本假定、法律的意义这些东西要阐述清楚。这种认识,在很长一段时间内,哪怕是在现在,依然普遍存在。不少GRE写作老师甚至某些GRE写作参考书,对学生的这种认识也起到了推波助澜的作用。普遍地,同学们会选择难、深的素材来作为写作素材,觉得在考试中所运用的素材越专业越艰深,就越能体现出自己深厚的学术功底。而实际情况并非如此。在我所接触的学生习作中,不乏有使用专业性很强、而写得并不理想的文章。以下为典型的一例:
(学生习作)11. Peoples behaviour is largely determined by forces not of their own making.
The statement indicates that people behave according to external forces instead of their own idea. However, as the great philosopher Karl Marx said, all the things are determined by inner world, since internal elements are decisive while external factors merely play a role of catalyst. Consider the process of decision making, which peoples behaviour depends on. No matter how powerful external forces are, it is people themselves that decide whether they yield to the forces or insist on their own belief or follow their hearts when pressure from external forces and ideas in inner world are controversial. Accordingly, for this matter, I would like to stand the side Marx holds.
