高中英語語法-趣談英語中的異曲同工之妙
趣談英語中的異曲同工之妙
根據研究高考專家預測，已經有十年歷史的高招英語書面表達題將要結束其控制性寫作 （controlled writing） 的形式，而極有可能轉向開放性寫作 （open writing） .這樣在今后的書面表達題中，就沒有要點、圖畫或圖表的提示和限制，考生可以盡情發揮自己的寫作水平，只要寫出合乎題目要求的文章就行。而且，根據改革后的書面表達的評分標準，考生只有使用了較多的復雜的句子結構和含義比較高深的詞匯，才能拿到高分數。因此，同學們在平時練習寫作和做漢譯英練習時，不可過于死板或逐字翻譯。因為一個意思或一句漢語在英語中可能有多種表達方法，可以達到異曲同工的目的。為了幫助同學樣拓寬思路，培養靈活運用語言的能力，現就同一漢語意思有多種英語表達或翻譯方法的現象舉例如下：
