假设你叫李华，最近你看到家乡村子里的大树落下很多叶子。这些叶子的颜色不是黄色的，而是深褐色的，上面还有不少的小洞。这显然是害虫（pest）造成的。你认为这与捕杀鸟类有关，因为你常看到有人在田野里猎鸟。你投稿《中国日报》编辑部反映这一情况，并呼吁对猎鸟者予以惩罚，以保护鸟类。

One possible version： July 9, 2004 Dear editor, Our hometown is very beautiful． There are many tall trees in the village．But these days I am surprised to notice that many leaves have fallen from the trees． The fallen leaves aren't yellow, but dark brown instead． Besides, there are many small holes in them． Obviously, this was caused by pests． We think it has something to do with the killing of birds． I often find people shooting at birds in the fields． We should do something to stop them from killing birds． Those who shoot at birds must be punished． With best wishes! Yours, Li Hua |

建议使用句型： am surprised to notice ．．． stop sb． from doing ．．． 建议使用动词： fall from．．． be caused by ．．．, be punished 建议使用过渡性词语： besides, obviously 写作技巧提示： 句式熟记3： 1． i． used + to 原形动词 “(过去)常常、经常……” He used to take a walk every morning． “他(过去)每天早上散步” ii． be used to + 名词 “习惯于……” (1) He is used to 〔doing〕such a thing． “他习惯了做这样的事” (2) He, of course, suggested seeing her home, which she wouldn't hear of at first---she said there was really no need, she was used to the journey alone and her parents' house was only a few minutes' walk from the station． “当然他说他要送她回家，起先她没答应，说实在不必要，她已习惯一个人走，何况父母的家离车站只需几分钟。” 2． be + to 原形动词 表示“预定、义务" We are to meet at Beijing Railway Station． “我们说好了要在北京火车站见面” 3． 祈使句 + , and … “～ 的话，就……” 祈使句 + , or… “～的话，否则就……” (1) Work hard, and you will succeed． “努力工作就会成功。” (2) Work hard, or you will fail． “努力工作，不然会失败。” (3) Ask a European critic to name the two leading American poets, and in most cases he will reply, "Poe and Whitman, "“要是请欧洲的批评家举出两个一流的美国诗人的话，他大多会回答：“爱伦坡和惠特曼”。” 4． “要不是 ～, 早就……” i． If it were not for (=Were it not for) + 名词 If it were not for (=Were it not for/But for) his help, I should fail． “要不是他的帮忙，我早就失败了。” ii． If it had not been for(=Had it not been for) + 名词 If it had not been for (=Had it not been for/But for) this, I would have employed him． “要不是这个，我早就雇用他了。” iii． But for + 名词 iv． But that + 从句 But that he has a family, he would have left England long ago． “要不是有个家，他早就离开英国了。” 5． “助动词 + 主语 =if条件句" (1) Were I you, I should do it in another way． “我要是你的话，就会用别的方式做。” (2) Many of the successful men, had they been able to choose for themselves, would have selected some quite different profession from that in which they have made their fortunes． “许多事业有成的人，要是他们能够自由选择职业的话，他们所选的将大大不同于他们发过财的职业。” 提示： were, had, should, would, could等动词或助动词放在主语之前，可表示条件。上例的Were I you可改成If I were you 。 6． “名词 + and”=副词从句 A few minutes, and they went away． “几分钟过后，他们走了。” 提示： 名词 + ，and”可改成以if, when, after等词开头的副词从句。 A few minutes, and = When a few minutes had passed。 7． if any“要是有的话” There are few, if any, such men． “这样的人要是有的话也很少” 提示：“if any”是指if there are any such men，强调few。 提示： if any, if ever, if at all等插入语是用来强调隐含否定语意的词(little, few, seldom等)。 8． i． something (much) of ～ “有几分(非常)～” ii． nothing (little) of ～ “一点(几乎)都没有～” (1) He is something of a poet． “他有几分像诗人的样子” (2) She is nothing of a poet． “她一点都没有诗人的样子” (3) If he is anything of a gentleman, he will keep his promise, I should think． “要是他有几分绅士的风范，我想他一定会说话算话” (4) Although not a strong boy, there was nothing of the coward about him． “他虽不是强壮的男孩，却丝毫没懦弱的样子” 提示： 这种用法表示“程度”。类似的表达还有 “a great (good) deal of” (非常)，“a little (bit) of”(有点)，“not much of”(不太)等。 疑问句、条件句用“anything of”。 He is more of a scholar than a teacher． (与其说他是老师不如说他是学者) 提示：为“much of”的比较级用法。 9． one thing … another～ “……是一回事 ～ 又是另一回事” (1) It is one thing to read and another to write．“读是一回事，写又是一回事” (2) It is one thing to own a library;it is another to use it wisely． “拥有藏书是一回事，知道如何利用藏书又是另一回事” 10． i． anything but ～ “绝不是 ～ (=never)” ii． nothing but ～ “只不过是 ～ (=only)” iii． all but～ “几乎, 差不多～ (=almost, nearly)” (1) He is anything but a scholar． “他绝不是学者” (2) He is nothing but a scholar． “他只不过是个学者” (3) The boy all but fell into the well． “这男孩子差点儿掉进井里” 提示： 这三句中but指“除～之外”。“anything but～”意指“除了 ～ 之外"的任何事物；绝不是 ～”, 目的在强调否定。anything but之前若有否定词，意指“只不过是～”，即“否定词 + anything but”=“nothing but”。all but与almost, nearly意义相同。 |
