要想解决中式英语的问题,很简单,就是要多读地道的英语,而不是国内所谓的XX级高分作文。而且在我们看一篇好的作文的时候,一定要想一想同样的一句话,这篇作文里是怎么写的,反过来如果是我自己我会怎么写,这样的比较、积累、模仿多了,我们自然也积累了很多的素材,自己自然也就会写了。说的太抽象,拿第一段给大家举例子。A writer can spread their imagination wide across empty paper,比如说这句话,翻译过来中文应该是一个作家可以在一张空白的纸上尽情的挥洒自己的想象力。如果我么自己写,我们很有可能写的就是A writer can write their thinking in the paper,但是这个作者将spread“传播”代替了我们的write“书写”,这样的表达方式写得更加书面化,一些就从我们小学作文的等级,跳到了高中作文。
然后用imagination代替了我们的“thinking”,这里完全就是imagination比“thinking”更为准确。
然后wide across得应用展现出一种动感,不再是我们单纯的用一个“in”表示在什么上面,而是用across展现出一种横向运动的趋势,显得更为准确和鲜活。
最后又用empty来修饰paper,显示出writer的创造能力,能不是像我们空泛的,仅仅写the paper。
上面的例子,就是很典型的,我们怎样通过范文来提高自己的写作能力。优秀的文章靠的就是多听多读多背多说多写多练多译!
Writers
A writer can spread their imagination wide across empty paper, and let black-ink words fill the plain pages. Voices made by the characters in your book, words whispered by the cover that drags you into old stories…
As a writer there are some cons. Once you spend hours and hours in your own, imaginary ink world, like a very nerdy writer would do, you will miss hours and hours of your real life. Also, about a million books are written each year and only a few are picked up and read in public. Are your books in the million, or the few? What if people do not like your book? They’ll tell what they think of your book to every one of their friends, and the word will travel around the area. There may be a possibility that no one likes your book and it is not a success. Being a writer is risky business.
There are also many pros in being a writer. In your book, you can make the characters do as they’re told, break the rules and like a puppet, control and use them freely. You can stay in your story and forget all the horrible worries in this world. Write anything and, everything you want and inflict your opinion to the big ball: Planet Earth! Or even to the “spider web” on the internet! Being a writer will bring a lot of pleasure and feel fantastic.
The payment of a writer, average advance of the first novel is $2 thousand to $5 thousand dollars. The most money you can get for being a writer is about $800 thousand dollars. So mostly it depends on if your book is good, or if you are an advanced writer. Always fair, I guess. Some people think the payment of being a writer is too low, just chill out and enjoy the fun!
If you truly wish and hope to be a writer someday, you will see the pros of being one deeper than the cons. Write your dreams, write your secrets, write your planet, write everything…
