人物介紹式書面表達涉及多種體裁,本文分別介紹其寫作注意點。
一、專門人物介紹文寫作注意點
請先看下面一篇書面表達實例:
劉翔是我國著名運動員,閱讀下表內(nèi)容寫一篇介紹性短文。
參考詞匯:110米欄 110m hurdles;勞倫斯 Laureus字數(shù):120左右
范文:
As we all know, Liu Xiang is a famous player in our country. He was born in Shanghai, China on July 13, 1983. In his childhood, he loved sports very much and was good at running and jumping. However, because of his general height, his parents once advised him to give up practising. Luckily, he stuck to his sports dream.
He trains hard and always believes in himself. In recent years, he has won great honour for our country. In 2003, he won a bronze at the world indoor track and field championships. In 2004, at the Athens Olympic Games, he won a gold medal. In 2005, he was awarded Laureus World Newcomer. In 2006, he broke the world record of 110m hurdles. On August 18, 2008, Liu Xiang dropped out of the competition of the 110m hurdles of the 2008 Olympic Games because of the injuries in his leg. However, Liu Xiang didn’t give up his sports dream.
Such is Liu Xiang, a diligent and confident player. We have every reason to believe he will win more gold medals for our country.
專門人物介紹文往往要求從人物成長足跡、個性品質(zhì)、個人簡歷和發(fā)展前景等角度介紹人物的背景信息,因此寫作時應以時間推移為線索交待文意,這樣可以使文章脈絡清晰,層次分明。范文根據(jù)寫作要求從成長足跡、個性品質(zhì)、個人簡歷和發(fā)展前景等角度表達文意,條理清楚,層次清晰,整體感較強。
正確使用時態(tài)也非常重要。介紹人物足跡時應用一般過去時表達文意,因為所介紹內(nèi)容都是過去發(fā)生的事。人物個性品質(zhì)是人物一直具有的特點,因此介紹時應用一般現(xiàn)在時表達文意。個人簡歷是人物已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過的事情,當然應用一般過去時表達文意。人物發(fā)展前景為人物未來發(fā)展狀況的預測,應用一般將來時進行介紹。范文用一般過去時介紹劉翔成長足跡,用一般現(xiàn)在時介紹劉翔個性品質(zhì),用一般過去時介紹劉翔個人簡歷,用一般將來時介紹劉翔發(fā)展前景,符合專門人物介紹文的時態(tài)特點。
專門人物介紹文的語言有很強的規(guī)律性。開頭簡要介紹人物可使用概括性語言…is a famous…;人物介紹結(jié)束后可使用總結(jié)性語言Such is…, a…and…player/writer;介紹人物出生可用…was born in;介紹人物年齡可使用…years old, at the age of…, when…was+數(shù)詞;介紹人物獲金牌可使用win a gold medal, win the first place;介紹人物為祖國獲得榮譽可用win great honour for his/her country。范文中的Liu Xiang is a famous player in our country. He was born in…. In recent years, he has won great honour for our country. Such is Liu Xiang, a diligent and confident player. We have every reason to believe he can win more gold medals for our country.等句型為人物介紹文的規(guī)律性用語,有很廣闊的使用空間。
寫專門人物介紹文時還應用好過渡性詞匯。介紹人物成長足跡時應著重用好表示時間的過渡性詞匯,如first/at first/in the beginning, then, at last/finally/in the end;介紹人物眾多業(yè)績可用besides, what’s more, at the same time, in the meanwhile等過渡性詞匯;介紹人物努力工作后獲取成功可用as a result, as a result of, therefore, so, thanks to等過渡性詞匯。范文貼切使用As we all know, However, Luckily等過渡性詞匯,增加了文章的連貫性和邏輯性。
二、記敘型人物介紹文寫作注意點
請先看下面一篇書面表達實例:
下面五幅圖描述了一位解放軍戰(zhàn)士冒著生命危險搶救落水小孩的故事。請根據(jù)這些圖畫用英語寫一篇故事。
字數(shù):120左右。
范文:
One day a young PLA man was walking along a path. Suddenly he heard someone crying “Help! Help!” He quickly ran to see what was happening. On his arrival there, he saw three boys struggling in the river and they were in great danger. He jumped into the river without any hesitation and soon pulled two boys onto the bank. Just at that time, the third boy was washed away. The soldier jumped into the river again in spite of great danger. He managed to catch the boy and pulled him back. Finally, thanks to his timely help, the three boys were saved. He was very happy and was cheered as a hero.
記敘型人物介紹文通常以圖畫為材料給定形式,要求考生按圖畫所給順序介紹人物的一次特定經(jīng)歷。
因記敘型人物介紹文介紹特定人物一次有意義的經(jīng)歷,因此應以時間推移為線索介紹故事的發(fā)生、發(fā)展、高潮和結(jié)局,這樣文章就會顯得層次清晰,脈絡分明。范文以時間為線索介紹故事的發(fā)生、發(fā)展、高潮和結(jié)局,文章結(jié)構(gòu)合理,條理清楚,層次分明。
因記敘型人物介紹文介紹在特定人物身上已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情,因此應以一般過去時為主表達文意,不能隨心所欲地使用時態(tài),造成不必要的失分。范文以一般過去時為主表達文意,符合記敘型人物介紹文的時態(tài)特點。
因記敘型人物介紹文以時間發(fā)生的先后為順序交待文意,因此寫作時應用好表示時間的過渡性詞匯,如one day/morning/afternoon/evening/night, suddenly, first, then, just at that time, finally/at last/in the end。強調(diào)人物經(jīng)過努力達到的良好結(jié)果可用thanks to, as a result, as a result of等過渡性詞匯。范文用One day, Suddenly, Just at that time, Finally等表示時間的過渡性詞匯,使文章語句更通順,行文更連貫,邏輯更嚴密。
三、求職信中的人物介紹文寫作注意點
請先看下面一篇書面表達實例:
假如你叫李芳,最近從報紙上了解到某公司欲招聘若干名翻譯,你對這一工作頗感興趣,請根據(jù)下表提供的信息,給公司經(jīng)理寫一封求職信。
范文:
Dear Manager,
I have learned from the newspaper that your company wants to hire a few people to be English interpreters. I’m interested in this position very much, and want to apply for it. I think I have a few advantages. Now, I’d like to introduce something about myself to you. I’m Li Fang, a 28-year-old woman. I’m in good health and I’m tall, slim and beautiful. Besides, I’m kind and polite to others and can get along well with others. Also, I’m good at expressing myself and I like to make friends with others. I graduated from the English department of Shandong University in 1999 and then I worked as an English teacher in a middle school for eight years. As a result, I have much work experience. If I’m accepted, I’ll work harder to make much progress. If you agree with me, please phone me. My telephone number is 0531-87654328.
Yours truly,
Li Fang
求職信中的人物介紹主要涉及人物外貌形象、健康狀況、業(yè)余愛好、優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)和個人簡歷,常有下列規(guī)律性語言:介紹人物外貌可用…is tall, slim and beautiful. …is tall and strong. 介紹人物健康狀況可用…is healthy/in good health. 介紹人物業(yè)余愛好可用…likes/is fond of/enjoys…in his/her spare/free time. …h(huán)as many hobbies, such as…, …and…. 介紹人物熱愛工作時可用…loves his/her work very much and works very hard.介紹人物經(jīng)驗豐富可用…h(huán)as much work experience.介紹人物與人融洽相處可用…is kind/friendly to others. …likes to make friends with others. …can get along/on well with others.…is ready/willing to help others.介紹人物嚴于律己可用…is strict with himself/herself. …is strict in his/her work. 介紹人物獲獎狀況可用…is often elected a model…. …h(huán)as been elected a model…many times.介紹人物受尊敬情況可用…is deeply respected and loved by others. …all respect and love…. 介紹人物變換工作地點可使用go to, come to, move to。范文使用I’m tall, slim and beautiful. I’m kind and polite to others and can get along well with others. I like to make friends with others. I have much work experience.等求職信人物介紹的規(guī)律性語言,提高了語言的規(guī)范度。
當然也必須注意求職信中人物介紹性內(nèi)容的時態(tài)。人物外貌形象、健康狀況、業(yè)余愛好、優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)屬人物現(xiàn)在具有的特點,因此應以一般現(xiàn)在時為主表達文意。人物個人簡歷屬在人物身上已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事,因此應以一般過去時為主表達文意。范文用一般現(xiàn)在時介紹人物外貌形象、健康狀況、業(yè)余愛好和優(yōu)秀品質(zhì),用一般過去時介紹人物簡歷,符合求職信人物介紹時態(tài)特點。
寫求職信介紹人物背景信息時還應貼切使用過渡性詞匯。介紹人物的不同優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)可用besides, what’s more, at the same time, in the meanwhile, also, too等表示并列關系的過 渡性詞匯。介紹人物簡歷時的過渡性詞匯與專門人物介紹文中個人簡歷過渡性詞匯相似。
范文使用Besides, Also, As a result等過渡性詞匯,增加了語句間的連貫性和人物的可信度。
四、交友信中的人物介紹文寫作注意點
請先看下面一篇書面表達實例:
假如你叫王晨,是北京一中高三學生,國際友誼俱樂部根據(jù)你的要求,把澳大利亞朋友貝蒂介紹給你為筆友?,F(xiàn)在請你寫一封信給貝蒂,表達愿意與其交友的愿望,并提供自己的有關信息(如下表所示),詢問對方學習、生活和家庭情況。
字數(shù):120左右。
范文:
Dear Betty,
I’m very glad to have a chance to be your pen pal. You were introduced to me by International Friendship Club because I wanted to have a pen friend in your country. I hope we’ll be good friends forever.
My name is Wang Chen and I am eighteen years old. I’m a senior grade 3 student of Beijing No. 1 Middle School. In our school, all the students study hard but are very happy. In my spare time, I like playing football, swimming, listening to music and singing songs. I’m optimistic and easy-going. I have a happy family and there are four people in it. They are my father, my mother, my younger sister and I. My father is an engineer; my mother is a teacher and my younger sister is also a student. We live in a small but beautiful town in Beijing with clean rivers and green mountains.
Dear Betty, can you tell me something about your study, life and family? I’m really very interested in it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Wang Chen
交友信中的人物介紹主要涉及姓名、性別、性格、業(yè)余愛好等人物現(xiàn)在具有的背景信息,因此應用一般現(xiàn)在時表達文意。有時交友信還簡要介紹特定人物家庭成員現(xiàn)在具有的背景信息,因此也應用一般現(xiàn)在時表達文意。范文用一般現(xiàn)在時表達文意,符合交友信人物介紹文的時態(tài)特點。
寫交友信對人物進行介紹時可用下列規(guī)律性語言:介紹人物姓名、年齡和職業(yè)可用My name is…and I’m…years old. I’m a/an…. 介紹人物家庭成員可用I have a happy family and there are…people in it. They are… and I. My…is a/an…and my…is a/an…. My…is also a…. 介紹人物業(yè)余愛好時可使用In my spare time I like…. I have many hobbies, such as…, …and….范文中出現(xiàn)的My name is Wang Chen and I am eighteen years old. In my spare time, I like….I have a happy family and there are four people in it. They are my father, my mother, my younger sister and I. My father is an engineer; my mother is a teacher and my younger sister is also a student. 是交友信中人物介紹文的規(guī)律性語言,有較為寬廣的使用空間。
