英文写作非常讲究语法,尤其是考研作文作为正式文体,需要注意以下几点小细节:
1、尽量少用缩写形式。如don't, can't, won't写做do not, cannot, will not等。
2、用更加正式的否定形式。如not any写做no, not much 写做 little, not many 写做few等。
例如:He did not say any words.
He said no words
There are not many chances available.
There are few chances available.
3、尽量少用"etc.", "and so on"等表达方式。
例如:Activities include dancing, singing, etc.
Activities include dancing, singing, and other fun stuff.
4、尽量把副词和动词放在一起。
例如:Consequently we may arrive at the conclusion that
We may consequently arrive at the conclusion that
标点
1、英语中没有顿号,在汉语需要顿号的情况下可以用逗号。
2、汉语中的引言通常都是:“”的格式,而英语中不用冒号,用逗号,如, " ".
3、书名、文章名等出版物名称用下划线或者斜体字表示。
4、破折号可以用于在一个句子的前面或后面加入额外的注释,灵活地运用破折号可以使长句子变得更加生动,增加文章的文采。
