考生如何才能写出媲美英语母语考生的高分作文呢?如何才能改掉让老外考官看得一头雾水的中式英语Chinglish味写法呢?一起来学习GRE写作地道的表达方法吧!
GRE写作地道之说法英式化。
原句:They can spend more time studying education and communication to improve their role as a mother, wife and daughter.
更改之后:They can also decide to spend more time studying, education themselves, in order to improve themselves in their roles as mothers, wives and daughters.
点评:原句中studying education and communication的说法中式化,不符合英语的表述,应该为studying,educating themselves。除了词语表达,此句中还存在其他问题,如名词单复数的使用:不是提高他们的角色,而是提高他们自身以扮演好母亲角色。还有,女性不止一个人。很多人都在扮演母亲角色,role和mother应用复数,故将improve their role as a mother改为improve themselves in their roles as mother;同样,为保持一致,wife和daughter也可用复数,原文中wife的复数写法有误,应该是wives。
GRE写作地道之表达英式化。
原句:If we agree to say that school offers us the best book knowledge acquisition then our society offers us the best surviving techniques in a hard way.
更改之后:If we agree that school offers the best method for the acquisition of book knowledge, then our society offers us the best method for acquiring common sense or “street smarts”.
点评:Agree to say that表达中式化,只需要agree that即可;the best book knowledge acquisition改为the best method for the acquisition of book knowledge(学校给我们提供了获取书本知识的最好方法)更为恰当 ,同样后面的the best surviving techniques改为the best method for acquiring common sense,加上street marks(街头智慧)给文章的GMAT词汇增添色彩。
GRE写作地道之表述英式化。
原句:If you can get the point of communication by watching TV,will you...?
更改之后:If one can learn about communicating from television,will you...?
点评:原句的get the point of communication by watching TV表达不清,让人难以理解,应该是指“从电视上学习交际”:learn about communicating from television.
以上就是GRE写作地道的表达方法的经验分享,希望各位考生都能够有所了解,并结合平时的练习准备学会避免这种思维方式和表达上的中式英文,写出真正地道的GRE作文。
