干货|英语写作逻辑及用词

作者: 琢爱舟 | 来源:发表于2017-01-26 16:13 被阅读558次

    想当年参加英语语言考试,尤其是GRE、GMAT的时候,总是觉得找不着写作的感觉,后来出国上学英文写作起来也不算轻松。但是最近两年当我看过N本英文书之后,我发现写出来逻辑并不难。

    如我在以前的文章中所写,学英文的第一条就是兴趣。自从我有了孩子就研究孩子的成长,隔三差五我就看完一本英文育儿书,一年下来读了几十本英文书,英文的逻辑也就自然而然的找到感觉了。

    干货|英语写作逻辑及用词

    一、逻辑的顺序

    逻辑的顺序可以是:演绎、时间、结构、重要性。后三种属于归纳组织逻辑顺序。

    演绎——大前提、小前提、结论;

    时间——第一、第二、第三

    结构——A、B、C没有先后顺序,等级、重要性相当

    重要性——最重要、次要、最次;

    具体的关于英文写作逻辑,我推荐参考书《金字塔原理》,简书的《读书》专题,有很多篇关于此书的读书笔记,这里不赘述。

    二、逻辑一定要在文章的开头就讲清楚

    所以一本书的序言,基本上都是在讲这本书论证的逻辑;一篇论文,基本上第一段就是摘要。这就要求作者的语言功底非常好,用语言表达出逻辑顺序,而不是数字或符号。举几个例子:

    开始介绍:

    before dip your toes in the water......

    initiate conversations about......

    debunk the myth that......

    touch on this topic in the subsequent chapters.

    切入主题:

    address some issues about ......

    discuss the sign of......

    explore the reasons of......

    ...... is equally important

    first, second

    finally, last

    结论:

    conclude the book with......

    determine how......

    equip you to do something with......

    share my testimony in this capacity as long as......

    三、逻辑词汇尽量不重复,而且要用书面语言,这样比较正式,逻辑也比较强。

    以下列出的过渡逻辑词汇算书面语言,取代的就是等号(=)后面的口语中常用的简单词。我用以下这种格式,为了便于你打印,然后加上自己的例句。

    进一步论证=and/also

    further

    furthermore

    moreover

    in addition

    additionally

    besides

    again


    比较=like/as

    similarly

    comparable

    in the same way

    likewise


    对比=but/although

    however

    still

    nevertheless

    on the other hand

    on the contrary

    even so

    notwithstanding

    for all that

    in contrast

    alternatively

    at the same time

    though this may be

    otherwise

    instead

    nonetheless

    conversely


    时间顺序=before/after

    meanwhile

    at length

    presently

    at last

    finally

    immediately

    thereafter

    at that time

    subsequently

    eventually

    currently

    in the meantime

    in the past

    in the future


    目的=so that

    to this end

    with this object

    for this purpose

    for that reason

    because of this x


    位置=there/here

    at that point

    opposite to

    adjacent to

    on the other side

    in the front

    in the back


    结论 so.....

    hence

    therefore

    accordingly

    consequently

    thus

    thereupon

    as a result

    in consequence


    例子=that is

    for example

    for instance

    an instance of this

    this can be seen in


    总结=in sum, in general

    in short

    on the whole

    as I said

    in other words

    to be sure

    in fact

    indeed

    clearly

    of course

    anyway

    remarkably

    I think

    assuredly

    definitely

    without doubt

    for all that

    on the whole

    in any event

    importantly

    certainly


    四、一定要有例子、有数据

    没有例子,没有数据会让人印象不深刻,也不容易理解。除非你专业性很强,好像教科书一样,每个概念都很严谨。即使这样,教师们也还是通过例子来授人以渔的。

    需要注意的是:

    1.代词要用好,不要给人代丢了。he/she/it......his/her/its.....

    The oranges are in the kitchen bowl. Eat all you want, but check them for ripeness first.

    2.关键的词多重复几遍

    Many cities are overcrowded. But now there is help for the city. But overcrowding is being addressed by additional trasit lines, which will allow more people to live in the suburbs.

    3.掌握一堆同义词/短语

    Fred’s car is fast and powerful. But is such a vehicle legal? And don’t hot rods like that pollute the air?.

    4.指示代词要指代明确,this/that

    Some people suggest giving up salt on popcorn. This idea, however, is ridiculous.

    When the man saw the girl begging, he took a picture of her, even though she objected. He thought this was unusual. [What was unusual, the girl begging or her objecting to being photographed?]


    以上是我总结的写作经验和用词,当你读大量的文章的时候,你自然就理解了逻辑的重要。当你会表达逻辑的时候,阅读也就迎刃而解了。希望对你有帮助。

      • Ephram2016:能推荐几本育儿的英文书籍吗?
        琢爱舟:@Ephram2016 放松放松,你开心孩子才能开心
        Ephram2016:作者负责!细心 !我已经关注你了!是我问之前没想清楚。快到预产期了,还没生( ̄∇ ̄)。我想读一些关于积极性格培养,亲子交流方面的书。我在四五线小地方生活,也知道这里教育的局限,班级人多,管理僵硬,让孩子听话、行动一致是老师的目标,这不是一个很好的方式,孩子很不愿意或者不敢提出自己意见和主张,我就是这种教育的果实。我是不是有点孕期焦虑?
        琢爱舟:@Ephram2016 你有几个?多大的孩子?想看哪方面的?问得有点多,你可以简信我回答这些问题。因为很多育儿书不是博士就是医生写的,很专。
