擅用名词化不仅体现了写作水平,更是一种思维方式。同学们在平时托福培训的训练中要注意: A 谓语动词的宾语部分 原句:I do not know either what she meant or what he intends. 名词化:I do not know either her meaning or his intentions. B 结合被动形式 原句:If people decide without enough persuasive information,... 名词化:If a decision is made without enough persuasive information,... C 取代诸如从句中“the fact that”的用法 原句:The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury. 名词化:My denial of his accusations impressed the jury. 更好的名词化: b. In denying his accusations, I impressed the jury. D 名词化部分用在there is/are的后面 原句:We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment. 名词化:There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment. 原句:The floods considerably eroded the land. 名词化:There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods. 然而,有些时候,在我们的思维方式中认为理所应当使用“名词化”时,老外认为是没有必要的。 比如: A 名词化部分跟在动词后面 原句(名词化“冗余”):The police conducted an investigation into the matter. 改后:The police investigated the matter. B 名词化部分作为主语 原句:Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut. 改后:We discussed a tax cut. C 连续进行名词化 原句: a. First, she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin. b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin. 改后:First, she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved. D 连接部分名词化 原句:Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses. 改后:They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel. 原句:The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials. 改后:Even though the motor housing was unstable, the research staff completed the field trials.
