專四應(yīng)試技巧(寫作篇2:句子的連貫性)
    句子的連貫性:指句子連接貫通,銜接自然。句子不論長短都應(yīng)環(huán)環(huán)緊扣,符合語法、邏輯。請注意以下要點:
    1)平行結(jié)構(gòu):把兩個獲兩個以上意思相近或相對的、地位相當(dāng)?shù)某煞忠淹馀c發(fā)行是泛指在一起。其中以下三條規(guī)則須加以注意。
    a)使用相同的語法來表達(dá)具有相同功能的句子成分,可運用并列連詞and, but或or等。
    × If you want to learn a foreign language well, you’d better try to think in it and speak it as much as possible.
    √ If you want to learn a foreign language well, you’d better try to think in it and to speak it as much as possible.
    b)正確使用相關(guān)連詞,如both…and, not … but, not only … but also等。
    × Wang Lan is not only clever but also she is helpful.
    √ Wang Lan is not only clever but also helpful.
    c)一個句子或段落中的人稱、時態(tài)、語態(tài)要始終保持一致。
    × One reason I like to go to school on foot is the physical exercise I get from it.
    √ I like to go to school on foot I regard it as a kind of physical exercise.
    2)代詞一致:句中代詞應(yīng)在數(shù)、性、人稱等方面保持一致,或者與它所照應(yīng)的名詞詞組在這些方面保持一致。如:
    We each are responsible for our own jobs.
    We are each responsible for his own jobs.
    3)代詞與先行詞一致:寫作時應(yīng)弄清楚代詞究竟指代哪個名詞,否則意思不明確,造成模棱兩可的感覺。如:
    × The old woman told the little girl that she was wrong.
    √ The old woman told the little girl,”I am wrong.”
    √ The old woman told the little girl,”You are wrong.”
