济南新航道专注于济南托福培训,为了帮助考生们更好地学习、备考托福,新航道托福为大家整理托福作文之冗句简化,“用英语点亮人生”,希望对大家有所帮助。
为了避免句子冗长,大家可以采用一些常用的简化方法。
种方法是用一个单词代替一组意义相同的单词,比如:
①用forget(忘记)代替do not remember(没有记住)
②用ignore(忽视)代替do not pay attention to(不注意)
③用now(现在)代替 at this point in time(此时此刻)
④用because(由于)代替due to the fact that(鉴于下列事实)
第二种方法是省略同义词或近义词。
比如在下面例句中,形容词important(重要的)和significant(有重要意义的),就是两个同义词(也可以说是近义词),我们可以省略important,只保留significant。
①The government project is important and significant.(这项政府计划是重要的,有重要意义。)
②The government project is significant.(这项政府计划有重要意义。)
第三种方法是在不改变句子含义的前提下,省略所有可以省略的单词。
比如在下面例句中,the cover of the book (书的封面)可以省略成the book cover,is red incolor(是红色的)可以省略成is red。
①The cover of the book is red in color.(书的封面是红色的)
②The book cover is red.(书的封面是红色的)
最后我们把这三种方法结合起来,将一个冗长、绕嘴的句子,改写成一个简短、易懂的句子。
①University malls must be accessible and free from congestion in order that students, faculty andemployees may have unobstructed passage through those areas of the campus.(校内道路必须是便于通行的,不拥堵的,以便让学生、教师和职员能够无阻碍地通过,到达校园的各处。)
②University malls must be free enough from congestion to allow people to walk through easily.(校内道路不应当拥堵,以便人们顺利通行。)
还有就是可以在托福作文开头使用一些常用的简单句型来使得文章变得简单精炼,比如:
