例子。 prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.熟悉這種將轉折語氣放入插入語的結構。又如:The prospect for eliminating pollution, though still distant, is brighter. 消除污染的前景盡管遙遠,但是已經(jīng)更加明朗了。 and innovations almost always e out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer。 even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.這兩句都是對發(fā)明創(chuàng)造來源的描述。后句更是拿踢球做比較,說明發(fā)明創(chuàng)造絕非易事。 creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.從該句學會表達“獨樹一幟、標新立異”,如:He is full of imagination and always marches to a different drummer. are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. 句型結構“There are two…: one…, the other…”表達在某件事情上存在的兩種方式或態(tài)度??忌梢栽趯懽鲿r對此種句式加以運用,如:There are two ways to see technology: one as a benefit to human beings, the other as a harm to them. this process ,the journey never really ends。 there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept .通過該句作者將人的成長比為永無止境的旅途。不定式結構的排列new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept非常耐人尋味。 order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.該句中多個不定式的疊用,加強了句子的氣勢。從這個句子和第三段中一問一答句的連續(xù)使用也可以看出作者的寫作風格就是通過排比結構使論述更加有力。 bee trapped inside a shell of our own making .在這里用shell (貝殼)比喻自我封閉。又如:In order to grow up, we’d better go out of our house to confront new things, to experience the world, not just stay in a shell of our own making. 為了成長,我們最好走出家門,去面對新事物,去體驗世界,而不是呆在自己營造的殼里面。 this world of change and plexity, the need for information is of greatest importance.注意句子中of短語的多次使用,of + 。如:a man of ability=a capable man,也可以仿造句子,如:In this world of change and plexity, adaptiveness is of greatest importance.49. “Knowledge is power” may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.知識和信息在現(xiàn)在社會確實無比重要,多搜集這樣的句子以備寫作之用。 many schools adopt the “win at all costs” moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements.以成就去估量一個人是否成功(measure the success by sporting achievements)、以成敗論英雄的社會必然造就很多“不惜一切代價獲取成功”(win at all costs)的人。 too keen to win can have dangerous consequences.其實過分熱衷于任何事情都會帶來危險的后果。可以仿照很多類似的句子,如:Being too keen to play puter games can lead to dangerous consequences.
