导读:③Those of us who are less intelligent find it a struggle to conceive even a moderately good idea, lit alone a brilliant one. ④But parents should not offer a quick consolation prize or say, “It d
③Those of us who are less intelligent find it a struggle to conceive even a moderately good idea, lit alone a brilliant one.
④But parents should not offer a quick consolation prize or say, “It doesn’t matter,”because it does.
⑤“Well, should he have bought Louisiana or not?” “I guess so.”
例③中one替代名词good idea, 例④中does替代动词matter,例⑤中的so替代划线部分的小句,弄清替代词所替代的对象,对文章的把握才更具准确性。
(4)连接(conjunction)
连接是通过连接成分来体现语篇中各个成分的各种逻辑关系的手段。连接成分往往是一些过度性的词语,如表示时间、条件、因果等逻辑上的,主要由连词、连接副词和介词短语体现。它们可以表示为顺接、逆接、添加、对比、同位等语义关系。 这里需要强调,意合形式连接或零形式连接因没有连接词而不易掌握,教师在进行阅读分析时要特别指出,要引导学生找出句际或句内隐含的表示逻辑关系的连接词,这对文章的理解尤为重要。
2.词汇衔接手段
(1)重复(repetition)
重复主要指语篇中单词和词组的重复,词汇重复的使用可以使语篇连贯,给读者留下深刻的印象,从而达到突出主题的目的。如:
⑥I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs, I want a wife who will keep my house clean, a wife who will pick up after me, I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need to be…I want a wife who will plan the menus…I want a wife who will care for me when I’m sick…
这篇摘自美国女作家Judy Syfers的I Want a Wife的文中,短短700词左右的文章,wife/wife’s就用了50多次;“I want a wife”这个句式出现了30多次。使用重复的手段列举了“妻子”的沉重负担,这样反复使用同一词汇wife/wife’s和句子I want a wife,不但不显得累赘,反而使作者的写作目的
