(三)适当使用习语来源:考试大
英语习语,是英语语言国家的人常用来表达思想的语言方式。许多习语无法用语法规则来解释,也难以从字面上猜出意思。习语是英语词汇的核心,其表现力丰富、生动,能给文章增添光彩。
(四)避免使用行话及矫饰词来源:考试大
行话即专业术语,多用于专业性强的文章中,在普通文章里很少见,因为这类词容易令句子显得晦涩、不流畅,况且,八级写作很少会出现专业性极强的题目,为此,我们在写一般的文章时,应该尽量避免,尤其是在可以使用其它的词来表达的情况下,更不要用专业术语。请看下面的例句:
When l asked my parents if I could use the car, the feedback was negative.
可改为:When l asked my parents if I could use the car, the answer was no.
(Or) When l asked my parents if I could use the car, they said not.
前后两种表达方式,孰优孰劣,一望便知。
另外一个问题就是矫饰词。这类词或词组太长、太夸张,使句子冗长繁琐空洞无物,因此在写作时也是应该避免的。例如:
Were it not for the lucrative financial rewards, she would have tendered her resignatioin.
可改为:Were it not for the money, she would have quit her job.
