在SAT作文中,很多考生在語法方面的失誤和表義上的含糊不清直接導(dǎo)致了語言質(zhì)量的下降,甚至很多時候無法讓考官理解他們所要表達(dá)的意思,因而使作文停留在6分-8分的階段而無法更進(jìn)一步。句子結(jié)構(gòu),也因此成為很多同學(xué)的“痛腳”之一。在本文中會根據(jù)同學(xué)的實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練,對作文中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的各種錯誤加以概括和總結(jié),使同學(xué)們更好的了解語法和表義方面一些頻繁出現(xiàn)的錯誤,從而更好的改善自己作文的語言質(zhì)量。
錯誤一:句子結(jié)構(gòu)冗余或缺失
很多同學(xué)雖然對于基本的句子結(jié)構(gòu)條條是道,娓娓道來,真正應(yīng)用在自己所寫的長句中的時候,卻容易顧此失彼,錯誤百出。很多時候是因?yàn)檫^于關(guān)注句子的長度和用詞的難度,卻忽略了基本的主謂賓搭配已經(jīng)歪曲了。
Steve Jobs, the brilliant and talented leader of Apple, who wins the battle in harsh consumer market with great creativity.
Thomas Edison who was one of the greatest inventors in the history. In his life, the most famous and important invention was electric light.
這兩個句子反映了7分左右的考生最常見的語法錯誤。因?yàn)橛帽容^長的同位語或定語從句來修飾句子的主語,卻忘記了這個句子其實(shí)已經(jīng)沒有謂語動詞了。
According to those two examples, that’s why I agree that those people who are confident and optimistic can change their lives easily.
這個句子則是出現(xiàn)了另一個極端,according to…., that is why…表義過于重復(fù)。完全可以去掉其中的一個結(jié)構(gòu)。
錯誤二:連詞的誤用
很多同學(xué)都明白,在基本的語法規(guī)則里,兩個句子之間一定要有連詞來過渡和銜接。但是真正動筆的時候,卻仍然是一“逗”到底,完全不考慮是否應(yīng)該根據(jù)句意間的關(guān)系來添加連詞或者把副詞和介詞混用為連詞。
Despite many other company are capable of producing such ordinary goods, Steve Jobs uses creativity to distinguish his products and apple from the crowd.
Despite和in spite of類似,都是介詞,后面應(yīng)該接sth或doing sth,而不能夠引導(dǎo)一個完整的句子。
The reason is because confidence and optimism can give people stimulation and impel them to achieve their goals.
Because是引導(dǎo)狀語從句的連詞,而不能夠放在be動詞后面,引導(dǎo)一個表語從句。這里應(yīng)該把because換成that,引導(dǎo)表示陳述語氣的表語從句。
However, during the time of inventing it, Edison had thousands of failures, but he never complained about that.
這里使用了太多的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。However表示和上文形成語氣上的轉(zhuǎn)折,而后面一句又用了but,語氣過于跳躍,讓讀者很難跟得上作者的思路。
