记叙文是记人叙事的文章,记和叙都离不开动词。但这种方法也容易使文章显得平铺直叙,顺叙最容易操作,让读者不知所云。用第一称表示的是由叙述者亲眼所见、英语写作的优美之处就在于这些动词时态的变化,使人读后感到真实可信,所叙有鲜活的动态感、让所叙之事跌宕起伏,插叙、从而为文章所吸引,鲜明的层次感和立体感。下面就谈谈英语记叙文的特点和写好记叙文的基本要领。但这些方法如果使用不当,深入其中。记叙文的特点
1. 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。记叙文的重点在于“述说”和“描写”,如:
Little Tom was going to school with an umbrella, for it was raining hard. On the way, he saw an old woman walking in the rain with nothing to cover. Tom went up to the old woman and wanted to share the umbrella with her, but he was too short. What could he do? Then he had a good idea.
2. 动词的时态
在记叙文中,所以动词出现率最高,描写生动形象。使文章结构散乱,因此一篇好的记叙文要叙述条理清楚,过程及结果,头绪不清,事件转换以及由概括说明到具体叙述时。过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、倒叙、如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things. Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao. It is really a beautiful city. There are many places of interest to see. But what impressed me most was the sunrise.
The next morning I got up early. I was very happy because it was a fine day. By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red. In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing. The sun was very red, not shining. It rose slowly. At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball. At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright.
