3.巧用句型
3.1 There be句型
图画作文中,描述图画常常使用there be句型。there be句型的结构为:There be +名词+地点,表达“某地方有某物”。这个句型有不足之处:be动词过于单调,名词前缺修饰。因此,there be句型有两个巧变策略,第一,灵活使用谓语动词替换be动词;第二,使用不同的量词组合修饰名词。
第一,谓语动词替换be动词。例如:
(1)There stands+(量词)名+(形容词)地点
(2)There exists+(量词)名词+(形容词)地点
(3)There lies +(量词)名词+(形容词)地点
(4)There sits+(量词)名词+(形容词)地点
(5)There vividly describes+(量词)名+(形容词)地点
例如,2000年真题A Brief History of World Commercial Fishing,描写两幅图的特点:“海里有很多鱼”“海里有很多船”,采用基本there be句型,如下:
a.There were a lot of fishes in the sea.
b.There were a lot of boats in the sea.
如果灵活使用中间的动词,并会写高级量词就不一样,可改写为:
a.In 1900, there existed a variety of fishes in the sea.
b.In 1900, there existed various kinds of boats in the sea.
there be的巧变句型应用到更多真题的图画描述中,使单调的there be句型变得生动起来。
There stands a charming American girl in the picture above.(2002年真题)
There stands a pot of fresh flower in a warm and comfortable room. (2003年真题)
There stand two soccer players in a football field. (2007年真题)
There sit a large number of youngsters at their computers.(2009年真题)
There lie a variety of foods in a large hot pot. (2010年真题)
第二,当涉及名词数量时,常见的表达有a lot of, many, much, more and more,其实表述数量的写法有很多,a large number of(很多),a growing number of(越来越多),a variety of(各式各样),various kinds of(各式各样),同样的意思,可使用多种表达方式。如表所示:
a sum of cash
一笔钱a proportion
of interviewees
一定比例的受访者a chain of plans
很多计划
an amount of time
大量时间a rich selection
of goods
很多商品a segment
of population
很多人口
a large quantity
of goods
大量货物a galaxy
of geniuses
很多人才a wealth
of information
