SAT改进句子题是写作部分第一个题型,解答的好坏对于后面的解题有很大的影响。下面为大家整理的是解答SAT改进句子题的一种方法,主要是利用中英文表达方式的不同进行的。下面是详细内容,供大家参考和借鉴。
一、句子之间,中文不必然需要连词,要求松散,连词数目可以是一个,两个或者0个,当没连词的时候,逻辑关系可以自己揣测。英文有且仅有一个连词
例 Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore refused to carry even a pound of mail, despite being offered $1,000 to do so.
1. Charles Lindbergh, for his attempt at a solo transatlantic flight, was very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he therefore
2. When Charles Lindbergh was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, being very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane, he
3. Since he was very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he was attempting his solo transatlantic flight, so Charles Lindbergh
4. Being very reluctant to carry any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight was the reason that Charles Lindbergh
5. Very reluctant to have any extra weight on his plane when he attempted his solo transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh
题中A选项两句之间连词缺失,C选项重复使用连词,本来是非常基础的错误,但中文习惯的影响会让这2个选项读起来很流畅。因为(since)所以(so)不正是中文的表达法吗?
二、中文的代词使用松散,英文代词使用必须有严格的指代对象,即不能空指.这种严格程度会让中国学生很不适应
例 The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.
1. to be the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs
2. to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing
3. is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs
4. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs
5. is the world’s smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing
注意A选项中的it,中文里面,“一个东西,它啊,还怎么怎么样”这种表达非常流畅,感觉自然,但英语书面表达里面,会反而让句子意思产生模糊,到底是指camcorder,还是computer?
通过上面的两个SAT改进句子题的例子,大家就可以看到中英文在很多表达方式上都有区别,如果大家在备考的时候,能对这些区别有所熟悉,就可以在解题的时候有所准备,结合自己备考中准备的语法知识,会更加轻松的应对这些题目。
