备考雅思写作的考生肯定都知道,雅思写作常常会用到一些逻辑词来表达各种关系,但是用的多了难免会出现各种各样的错误。今天雅思写作逻辑词及常见的逻辑词运用错误。
1. 并列关系

2. 转折关系

几个用得比较多的句子:

Nevertheless, the disadvantages of … is undeniable.
To sum up/ In general/ On the whole/ In brief/ In short/ In a word, it is true that … bring about both positive and negative results. But we can try our best to reduce the negative influence to the least extent.
Obviously, in every aspect,...
This diagram unfolds a clear comparison between...and...
As to the other three, though the growth rates were not so high, they were indeed remarkable and impressive.
常见的逻辑词运用错误:
一、漏用逻辑连词。
如:
1Home-working enables employees to work at ease. For example, those with childcare responsibilities could arrange their schedule flexibly. 2Working at home ensures employers’ multiple options in human resource.
仔细理解不难发现其实1句和2句之间的关系是平等的,均属于观点句。为了让这两个句子凸显出相应的地位,以区别中间的举例部分,建议在1句和2句之前各添加表示递进的逻辑连词,如what’s more或 in addition. 修改后如下文:
To begin with, home-working enables employees to work at ease. For example, those with childcare responsibilities could arrange their schedule flexibly. What’s more, working at home ensures employers’ multiple options in human resource…
二、错用逻辑连词。
如:
1 One hand, home-working enables employees to work at ease. 2 Nevertheless, these who are disabled can avoid many difficulties.
原文中1句和2句的逻辑连词都用错了。首先,从语法形式上看,逻辑连接词一般由连词、连接副词、介词、介词短语等充当。而1句的句首“one hand”是一个名词短语,证明不正确。我们需要做的修改是将“one hand”改成一个介词短语“on one hand”作为1句的逻辑连词;而相对应的逻辑连词应该是“on the other hand”,衔接与1句中观点相对应的另一方观点。比如:
On one hand, home-working enables employees to work at ease. On the other hand, employees may be confronted with some problems brought by home-working.
而对于2句中的连词使用错误是“nevertheless”这个逻辑词的意义与2句中的内涵不符。原文中的2句 these who are disabled can avoid many difficulties 是对1句观点的一个扩展和支持。所以2句和1句之间的逻辑不应该是nevertheless所表达的转折关系;相反,应该是递进或举例关系,所以可以做以下修改:
On one hand, home-working enables employees to work at ease, especially to those who are disabled, who can avoid many difficulties by working at home.
或者修改为:
On one hand, home-working enables employees to work at ease. For example, those workers who are disables can avoid many difficulties by working at home.
三、滥用逻辑连接词。
有的雅思考生主观地认为尽量多用连接词语可以加强句际衔接,但结果是连接词语过分堆积,造成多余,评分标准中所提到的“机械”地句子衔接(见上文下划线部分)。如:
1 Working at home ensures employers’ multiple options in human resource. 2 However, if they hire staff through modern technologies, such as internet, fax, or telephone. 3 It is hard to know how the employee’s quality is which takes disadvantages of the company. 4 Although it is hardly capitalize on employer.
请注意红色字体标注的部分,均属于滥用逻辑连词的部分。可以 看到,在4个句子中,这位考生错用了3个逻辑连词。这个现象属于 “makes inadequate, inaccurate or over-use of cohesive devices(衔接手段不足、不准确或过度使用)”——这是5分写作水平的评价。为了改善这个问题,达到6分的标准,建议可以做如下修改:
1 Working at home ensures employers’ multiple options in human resource. 2 However, if they hire staff through modern technologies, such as internet, fax, or telephone , 3 it is hard to know how efficient the employees are. 4 Therefore, home-working can hardly benefit employers.
1句是观点句,保持不变。根据意义判断,原文的2句是想要反驳该观点,所以原文中使用however是正确的。问题是表示条件的逻辑连词if后面引导的是从句,而原文当中却没有相应的主从关系句型跟if搭配,导致严重错误。修改方法是将2句和3句之间的句号改为逗号,使3句成为2句的主句,突出if条件句的主次关系。对于原文的4句来说,用逻辑连词although是不恰当的。因为显然句子内容想要表达的是对前面三句的一个小总结,因此逻辑关系应该用therefore来引导。
现在我们了解到雅思写作中逻辑衔接的一个重要手段——逻辑连词的使用是如何影响写作得分的。我们也可以通过例子看到中国的雅思考生在使用逻辑连词的过程中最容易出现问题。我的建议是仅仅通过记忆更多类似的词汇是不足以实现提高分数的目的的,我们还需要有意识地阅读考官的范文,通过模仿的手段来表现自己英文写作内容才能够实现突破。
