參考譯文

岀遠(yuǎn)門(mén)的人常常需要決定是走旱路、水路，還是坐飛機(jī)。很少有人能夠真

正喜歡坐幾個(gè)小時(shí)以上的火車(chē)。車(chē)廂很快就變得擁擠、悶熱，想擺脫開(kāi)旅途的

困擾是很難的?？磿?shū)只能解決部分問(wèn)題。車(chē)輪與鐵軌間單調(diào)的嘎喳聲很快就會(huì)

送你進(jìn)入夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)。白天是忽睡忽醒，到了夜晚，你真想睡了，卻很難入睡。即使

你走運(yùn)弄到一個(gè)臥鋪，夜間有一半時(shí)間你會(huì)盯著車(chē)頂那盞小藍(lán)燈而睡不著覺(jué)；

要不然就為查票摸索你的車(chē)票。一旦抵達(dá)目的地，你總是疲憊不堪。乘汽車(chē)作

長(zhǎng)途旅行則更加不舒服，因?yàn)檫B看書(shū)都幾乎不可能。在公路上還好，你至少能

以相當(dāng)快的速度安全地向前行。但旅行的絕大部分時(shí)間都花在路上，而且只有

很少的服務(wù)設(shè)施，交通也很擁擠。相比之下，坐船旅行或環(huán)游能夠得到文明世

界的各種享受。你能夠在甲板上伸展四肢、做游戲，還能也很見(jiàn)到各種有趣的

人，能享用各種美味佳肴——當(dāng)然，這個(gè)切只有在大海風(fēng)平浪靜的情況下才有

可能。如果大海肆虐起來(lái)，你就可能暈船，那種難受勁兒是任何一種別的旅行

的方式都不會(huì)帶來(lái)的。即使風(fēng)平浪靜，坐船旅行也要占用很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。沒(méi)有多少

人會(huì)為享受坐船旅行的樂(lè)趣而犧牲假期的時(shí)間。

飛機(jī)以危險(xiǎn)而著稱(chēng)，連老資格的旅行者也怕飛機(jī)。飛機(jī)另一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)是昂貴。

但就速度與舒適來(lái)說(shuō)，飛機(jī)是無(wú)與倫比的。騰云駕霧，在30,000英尺高空以

500英里的時(shí)速旅行，這種經(jīng)歷令人心曠神怡。你不必想辦法去擺脫旅途的困

擾，因?yàn)轱w機(jī)會(huì)迅速地把你送到目的地。幾小時(shí)之內(nèi)，你躺在扶手椅上，享受

著旅途的歡樂(lè)。真正會(huì)享受的人還能夠在某些航班上看一場(chǎng)電影和喝香檳。即

使沒(méi)有這些消遣條件，也總是有事可做。飛機(jī)上，你能夠觀察世界上非同尋常

的奇妙的美景。你毫不費(fèi)勁地飛越高山幽谷，你確能飽覽大地的風(fēng)貌。如果這

種景色被遮住了，你能夠觀賞一下體現(xiàn)在你面前的、一望數(shù)英里的、連綿持續(xù)

的云海，同時(shí)陽(yáng)光燦爛，天空清澈明朗。旅途平穩(wěn)，絲毫不妨礙你閱讀或睡眠。

不管你打算如何消磨時(shí)間，有件事是能夠肯定的，即當(dāng)你抵達(dá)目的地時(shí)，你感

到精神煥發(fā)，毫無(wú)倦意，用不著因?yàn)槁L(zhǎng)的旅途的辛苦而花幾天時(shí)間休息來(lái)恢

復(fù)精神。

最后通過(guò)實(shí)例詳細(xì)論述出國(guó)留學(xué)的好處。

關(guān)于寫(xiě)作：

三段法

第一段：開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山

中間段：支持段一般是由一段或兩段組成，目的是支持論點(diǎn)

每段的開(kāi)頭一句話和最后一句話一定要和主題密切聯(lián)系。

參見(jiàn)Lesson41

L44-05end18'52"

Lesson44Aend1:32:39

Lesson44Bbegin1:12:29

L44-06begin18(43”

最主要的方法有三種：對(duì)比法，比較法，例證法

結(jié)尾段起到的作用是再次肯定和強(qiáng)調(diào)主題，加深讀者印象。

段落是由主題句，擴(kuò)展句組成，擴(kuò)展句之后是具體的例子。

想表達(dá)不同的理論概念，要用轉(zhuǎn)折句。

主題句應(yīng)該要簡(jiǎn)練，要明確地表達(dá)中心思想。

Eg:1.Thediscriminationagaistwomenisveryobviousintheworld.

2.Thediscriminationagaistwomenisespeciallyobviousinthejob

ofmarketing.

3.Thediscriminationagaistwomenbeganin1910.

topic應(yīng)為2O

主題句應(yīng)該具有概括性，但是概括又不能太寬泛。

主題句確立之后，還要進(jìn)一步利用擴(kuò)展句為說(shuō)明解釋主題句的內(nèi)容。

重復(fù)使用關(guān)鍵詞。

內(nèi)容要連貫。

銜接詞的使用

1.起（開(kāi)篇,引出論點(diǎn)）:atfirst,first,firstly,inthebeginning（起

初），firstofall,atpresent（當(dāng)前）,nowadays,currently,tostartwith,to

beginwith,foronething（首先）,foranother（其次），inonehand—方面,in

theotherhand另一方面

2.承：tostartwith,atthesametime,atanyrate無(wú)論如彳可,

besides止匕夕卜，除了...之夕卜還有,apartfrom,inaddition,inadditionto,

furthermore,

infact事實(shí)上,actually,asamatteroffact,inreality,moreover,no

doubt,withoutanydoubt,

similarly同樣地,inthesameway,meanwhile,inthemeantime,

3.折：afterall畢竟,終究,allthesame雖然，但是,anyway無(wú)論如

彳可，somehow,but,however,nevertheless,nonetheless,bythetime至?。葸@

個(gè)時(shí)彳度,此時(shí),conversely,onthecontrary,despite,inspiteof,in

contemptof,indisregardof,bycontrast,bycomparison,fortunately,in

otherwords換句話說(shuō),ontheotherhand,unlike和...不同,不像,

whereas不過(guò),

same.

Ihadexpectedmyselftopasstheexamination,somehowIfailed.

Idon'thavetheabilitytodothework,fortunatelymyfriends

romisemetohelpme.

4.合：主要是用來(lái)小結(jié)上文的或是用作結(jié)尾段：accordingly于是，所

以,ashasbeennoted(above)如前所述的，ashasbeenmentioned,as

hasbeentalkedof,

atlast,finally,lastly,atlength,

briefly簡(jiǎn)來(lái)說(shuō)之，inbrief,inshort,inaword,inconclusion,insum,in

summary,tosumup,tosummarize,toconclude,onthewhole總起說(shuō)來(lái)

Topic主題

1.能夠使用諺語(yǔ)作為topic

asthesayinggoes;asproverbgoes

2.定義法

Whatisadvertisement,itisthewordsorpicturesonamediato

作業(yè)：illustrateyouropinionaboutadvertisementsonmedia.

3.能夠使用提問(wèn)法：Lesson7

illustrateyouropinionaboutfriendship

Doyouhaveagood/largecircleoffriends?

4.概括法：出現(xiàn)在開(kāi)頭段的首句或末句。

Iquiteagreewiththisidea.

5.間接開(kāi)頭法：先敘述別人的觀點(diǎn)，然后引出自己的真實(shí)看法。

Eg:Peopleoftensaythatmoneycanbuyallthethings,butIthink

itisnottrue.

讀文章時(shí)的注意點(diǎn)：

1.注意結(jié)構(gòu)安排

2.找出文章關(guān)鍵詞

3.注意每一自然段的段首段尾。
