1.2.6 文章中的過渡方法
一致性和連貫性是作文的兩個基本原則。而過渡是保持文章的一致性和連貫性的重要手段。過渡是指上下文之間的銜接與轉(zhuǎn)換，在寫作中起承上啟下的作用。過渡幫助讀者了解文章的條理和層次，沿著文章的思路由一個層次轉(zhuǎn)到另一個層次，由前一段過渡到下一段，以致感到全文連貫暢達，融會貫通。
文章中常用的過渡方法有三種：
(1) 用詞語過渡
從一個句子過渡到另一個句子可以恰當?shù)厥褂帽硎具^渡的詞語。同樣，段落之間的過渡也可通過使用表示過渡的詞語。
例如：來源：考試大的美女編輯們
To sum up, although undergoing risks can make you more experienced and enable you weather any crisis in life, it’s advisable to take only the rewarding risks whose opportunities far outweigh their risks.
作者用To sum up這一短語，從前面對冒險的討論過渡到總結全文，表明自己對冒險的看法。
(2) 用句子過渡
文章由一段內(nèi)容轉(zhuǎn)入另一段內(nèi)容，從一個層次轉(zhuǎn)換到另一個層次需用過渡句。用句子過渡主要有三種情況：
a. 通過設問或提示導入正文
這種過渡句通常在第一段的末尾，或在第二段的開頭。如Solutions to Test Anxiety 一文的第一段。
When taking an examination, many students tend to be worried and uneasy. Their minds cannot work as well as they usually do. As a result，they get low grades which do not show their real abilities. Then how to cope with such test anxiety?
最后一句是過渡句。作者用設問方式引導讀者轉(zhuǎn)入下一段的正題——“Solutions to test anxiety”。
b. 通過總結，引出結論
這種過渡句通常位于最后一段的開頭。如Why Shanghai Enjoy Long Life Expectancy 一文的最后一段。
Clearly, these factors have played an important role in Shanghai people’s life. Given a better environment, Shanghai people’s life expectancy would extend beyond 80.
作者在前面的段落中分析了上海人長壽的原因之后，用“Clearly, these factors have played an important role in Shanghai people’s life.”作為過渡句，總結全文，并展望未來的前景。
c. 通過提示，轉(zhuǎn)入對比采集者退散
說明文和議論文等從一個段落過渡到另一個段落，表示轉(zhuǎn)入與前段內(nèi)容所闡述的問題相反，或者形成對比時，常在段首使用過渡句。這種過渡句需在句前用一個表示對比的過渡詞或者短語。如Advantages and Disadvantages of Going Abroad for Further studies一文中的一段：
Nevertheless, there will be some disadvantages of going abroad. For example, we have to suffer a lot from loneliness because of leaving family and friends, we must make great efforts to learn a new language, and we will spend a great deal of money.
作者用 “Nevertheless” 連接 “there will be some dis- advantages of going abroad.”這樣一個表示明顯轉(zhuǎn)折的過渡句，把文章自然地由上述“advantages of going abroad”轉(zhuǎn)到“dis- advantages”上，使文章上下文有機地聯(lián)系起來。
(3) 用段落過渡
文章內(nèi)容由一層意思轉(zhuǎn)入另一層意思的交接處，可以安排一個起承上啟下作用的過渡段落。如下面“Nuclear Energy”一文的過渡段。
This is an important effect of the coming of nuclear energy; yet, to my mind, it is not the most important. What is most important is that energy will be more evenly distributed in the future.
在這一段落中，“This is an important effect of the coming of nuclear energy”起著承上段的作用;而“What is most important is that energy will be more evenly distributed in the future”起著啟下段的作用。顯然，下一段將闡述如何合理分配能量問題。
好，下面我對這一講內(nèi)容做一下小結。在這一講里，我主要談到了
1)段落的結構;2)段落的要求;3)段落的寫作步驟和發(fā)展方法;4)文章的基本要求;5)文章的基本結構;6)文章正文的擴展方法;7)文章的開始段和結尾段的寫法。
關于英語寫作的基本理論和技巧就介紹到這里，下面我們進行寫作練習。我將給大家一個作文題，請大家根據(jù)這一講的內(nèi)容，在30分鐘內(nèi)完成。大家在寫作的過程中要注意審題，考慮文章的結構、采用的擴展方法、開頭和結尾的方法及文章中的過渡方法等。下面，我們先來看一下題目要求。
