在雅思备中,除了词汇外语法也是首先需要解决的问题,不然纵使你掌握有足够的词汇,但是不熟的话,那么阅读和运用中也是容易理解出错的。大家都知道,英语语法和中文语法的运用上是不太一样的。接下来小编要为大家带来的的就是雅思考试常见语法讲解,今天要和大家分享的是平行结构。
首先,我们先来看一个句子:
Playground supervision will be more effective if members of staff are trained to recognise the difference between bullying and to fight playfully.
这个句子有什么问题吗?来,我们缩小范围:
Playground supervision will be more effective if members of staff are trained to recognise the difference between bullying and to fight playfully.
没错,不协调呀!
既有between…and…的句式,把to fight playfully 换成 playful fighting是不是更好?
平行结构是一种修辞手法,它使得句子前后保持平衡和协调,从而增加语言的连贯性,它要求词与词,短语与短语,句子与句子一一对应。
词典中,对于“Parallelism”,即“(句子)排比,平行结构”是这么解释的—the use of matching sentence structure, phrases, or longer parts so as to balance ideas of equal importance(用匹配的句子结构、短语或更长的结构来平衡同等重要的思想和概念)。
举个例子:
例1:Imaging fairy-tale turrets( 童话中的炮塔) and fire-breathing dragons (喷火龙), wicked witches (邪恶的女巫) and gallant heroes (英勇的英雄), she’s creating an enchanting world. --C14
例2:It’s regarded as something trivial (琐碎的), or even as something negative (负面的) that contrasts with “work”.--C14
例3:Significantly, though, just fulfilling these needs does not result in satisfaction (并不会带来满足), but only in the reduction of dissatisfaction (而只会减少不满).--C14
以上就是此次为大家带来的的雅思考试常见语法讲解,如果会使用平行结构,那么措辞就可以朗朗上口。希望上面分享的内容内个烤鸭们带来帮助。
