導(dǎo)讀從平淡無奇到神采奕奕的寫作技巧表達(dá)“很,非?!保灰欢ㄖ挥衯ery/extremely:all抽象名詞=very形容詞Heisveryveryverygen....
從平淡無奇到神采奕奕的寫作技巧表達(dá)“很,非常”,不一定只有 very/extremely :
all 抽象名詞=very 形容詞
- He is very very very gentle and soft to her.他對(duì)她很溫柔。
- He is all gentleness to her.他對(duì)她很溫柔。
抽象名詞 itself=very 形容詞
- He is very/extremely modest towards his elders.對(duì)待長(zhǎng)輩,他極度謙虛。
- To his superiors, he is humility itself.對(duì)待長(zhǎng)輩,他極度謙虛。
注意:這原是表示某種性質(zhì)到了極點(diǎn)的一種說法,有“非常,只管,一味,盡”之意,有時(shí)甚至可以譯為“...的化身”,“...的具體化”。
表示程度時(shí),特別是表達(dá)“略有,少許,全無,毫無”意思時(shí),用something of,nothing of, much of, little of- He is something of a philosopher.他略有哲學(xué)家的風(fēng)范。
- She is nothing of a musician.他全然不像個(gè)音樂家。
- He is very much of a poet.他很有詩人氣派。
- She is little of a scholar.她無學(xué)者風(fēng)度。

注意:something of與something like有比較大的不同點(diǎn)。something like表示數(shù)量或性質(zhì)上略同,如It shaped something like a cigar.(指形狀略似雪茄。)
翻譯時(shí)的問題:
如,He has seen something of life.不宜翻譯為“他看過了一些人生?!睋Q做“他略具閱歷。”更好。
又如,He is something of a scholar.“他宛如學(xué)者?!辈蝗纭八跃邔W(xué)識(shí)。”
寫比喻句,用“名詞 of a 名詞- It was a great mountain of a wave.那是一個(gè)像山一樣高的大浪。
- That fool of a Tom did it.這是湯姆那個(gè)笨蛋做的。
- She was an angel of a wife.她是天仙一般的妻子。
- He was a fine figure of a young man.他是一個(gè)風(fēng)度翩翩的公子。
- The child is a treasure of a son.那是一個(gè)寶貝兒子。
- He lives in a palace of a house.他住在一座宮殿似的大屋子。
表達(dá)“像...那樣的”,用“名詞 of sbs 名詞’”- It was beyond expectation for a man of your taste.遇到一位像你這樣有品味的人,真是出乎意料。
- He is a man of your experience.他是一個(gè)像你一樣經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的人。
- You are a lady of her wisdom.你是一個(gè)像她那樣賢惠的淑女。
用名詞替代形容詞,用of 抽象名詞- It was of great importance.(of importance=important)
- of no use=useless 無用
- a man of courage=a courageous man 勇敢的人
- a lady of virtue=a virtuous lady 賢德的女人
- a man of business 商人
- a man of few words 寡言的人
- a man of his word 言行一致
- a man of parts 多才多藝
強(qiáng)烈限定的時(shí)候,用“that 先行詞 關(guān)系代詞”- He lost that picture which he had got with much trouble.他把費(fèi)了很大勁才得來的畫丟了。
- The root is that part of vegetable which least impresses the eye.根是植物最不引人注目的部分。
- Those rich men are great who do not think themselves great because they are rich.并不以為他們有錢的人在算偉大。
one thing...another ;the one...the other
- Saying is one thing,doing another.說的是一回事,做的是另一回事。
- It is one thing to know and another to teach.知道是一回事,教是另一回事。
- They have two daughters;one is a singer,the other an actress.他們有兩個(gè)女兒,一個(gè)是歌手,另一個(gè)是演員。
- It is one thing to own a library;it is another to use it wisely.(藏書是一回事,能否善于利用又是另一回事。)
注意:another和the other后是不需要再寫一遍謂語。
這些寫作技巧有沒有對(duì)你有所幫助呢?感謝你的支持和關(guān)注,我是大愚,這里是一詞一世界。
