这是某一篇文章的开头。我们现在只是分析语法问题。作者除了要注意不要使用疑问句以外,还有很重要的一点:总共两三句话,出现4个Be动词。这种写法,在英语里面被称作non-act的动词。Be 仅仅表示一种状态,例如:i am here, you are there. 对于母语者来说,Be动词其实就是写在纸上,而没有任何感情色彩。所以应该尽量避免成篇累牍地使用。我们的例子可以改为:
Some people argue that the purpose of education lies in its strength in creating a totally academic environment separated from the outside world. They think this situation allows students to focus on academic research by excluding outside disturbance from practical concerns. However, this suggestion in fact does harm to the scientific research work.
我们可以看到,使用了lie in, exclude, do harm to以后,句子更有色彩了。
3、尽量避免重复使用单词或者词组。特别是近距离集中在某一两句话里使用。
例如:The author argues that to understand ones own culture, one must know about at least one another culture which is distinctly different from ones own culture. While as I am concerned, I cant agree with the authors assertion.
这一个开头,总共两行字,却连续出现了4个One,3个culture。如果你把这段话大声朗读一下,就会觉得别扭、好笑了。连续使用相同的单词或者词组(包括短句),体现的是作者词汇量匮乏,写作风格较差,遣词造句能力不强。给读者的感觉就是昏昏欲睡。
