英語(yǔ)寫作十招
英語(yǔ)寫作十招
提高英語(yǔ)的水平往往可以看一些英語(yǔ)的新聞和閱讀，還有英語(yǔ)的電視劇和電影，這樣可以很快的提高我們的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)，接下來(lái)小編給大家?guī)?lái)英語(yǔ)新聞，需要的同學(xué)們可以看一看。
英語(yǔ)課外閱讀1
1. Read in English
1.看英文書
When you want to master a language, you can never read enough.
The easiest way to get started with reading in English rather than your own language is to pickup a non-fiction[非小說(shuō)類文學(xué)作品] book on a familiar, interesting topic. Non-fiction tends to beeasier to follow than fiction (fiction authors use tricky[狡猾的] words to touch their readers’ feelings) and reading about a familiar topic makes it easier to guess what the author is trying tosay to you when you don’t quite understand the words he’s using. Don’t use a dictionaryunless you really have to—just skip the parts you don’t understand. If you make your readingfeel too much like work, you’ll lose the fun in it, and the habit of reading won’t last for long.
當(dāng)你想要掌握一門語(yǔ)言，看再多的書也不夠。
開(kāi)始看非母語(yǔ)的英文書，最簡(jiǎn)單的方法是挑選一本關(guān)于你熟悉且感興趣的話題的非小說(shuō)類作品。非小說(shuō)類作品比小說(shuō)更容易讀懂(因?yàn)樾≌f(shuō)家們通常用一些狡黠的詞匯來(lái)引起讀者的共鳴)，而在不怎么理解作者用詞的情況下，閱讀熟悉的話題讓你更容易猜到作者想要表達(dá)的意思。若非必要，不要使用字典——跳過(guò)你不理解的部分。假如你把看書當(dāng)成作業(yè)，就會(huì)樂(lè)趣全無(wú)，看書的習(xí)慣也不能持久。
2. Listen to native speakers
2.聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)演說(shuō)
If you don’t speak English every day, this is rather tricky advice to follow. The Internet comes torescue here through podcasts[播客] and videos from speaking events. Pick your favoritespeakers and listen to them deliver their message. You will learn not only about how they usethe language, but also how to captivate[迷住] the audience, and a bit about the topic at hand.
假如你不是每天都說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，這將是個(gè)不大好辦的建議。在這一點(diǎn)上，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)幫上了忙，它可以提供播客和演講比賽的視頻。選擇你喜歡的演說(shuō)者，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)他們?nèi)绾蝹鬟_(dá)信息。不單能學(xué)習(xí)他們使用語(yǔ)言的方法，還可以學(xué)習(xí)怎樣吸引觀眾，并對(duì)正在討論的這個(gè)話題產(chǎn)生一定的了解。
3. When writing in English, think in English 運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)思維寫作
This is one of the biggest things that separates a decent[相當(dāng)好的] foreign language writer froma lousy one. The lousy writer thinks in his own language and then tries to translate his thoughtsto English. But that simply doesn’t work: The idioms, grammar rules, and cultural differencesmake text written in this manner sound clumsy[笨拙的] and unnatural.
這是區(qū)別外語(yǔ)寫作者水平優(yōu)劣的最關(guān)鍵因素之一。糟糕的作者用母語(yǔ)思考，然后試圖將他的想法翻譯成英文。但顯然這行不通：習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)、語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)和文化差異使這種方式寫出來(lái)的文章看起來(lái)拙劣而不自然。
That’s why every time I set out to write in English, I push all my Finnish[芬蘭的] thoughts far tothe background and don’t even look back. Then I pretend to be English speaking until the workis done and I can move back to my Finnish self.
I suggest you do the same.
這就是為什么我每次進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)寫作時(shí)都將自己的芬蘭語(yǔ)思維拋得遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的，根本不回頭看。然后我假裝自己是英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者，直至工作完成才回歸到芬蘭人的自己。
我建議你也這樣做。
4. Write
4.多寫多練
The best way to learn anything is by throwing yourself out there and practicing. In fact, I wouldgive you the same advice even if you were considering writing in your native language. But ofcourse, it’s even more important when writing in some other language.
最好的學(xué)習(xí)方法就是全身心地投入其中，然后不斷練習(xí)。事實(shí)上，即使在用母語(yǔ)寫作方面，我也會(huì)給你同樣的建議。但當(dāng)然，用其他語(yǔ)言寫作時(shí)，這點(diǎn)更重要。
When you are just starting out with your blogging, you should write something every day toreally get your writing routine developed. After a while it’s okay to drop the pace a bit—although even then, if you want to become the best at what you do, keeping up the habit ofdaily writing helps a lot.
剛開(kāi)始寫博客時(shí)，你應(yīng)該每天都寫些東西以真正形成自己的寫作習(xí)慣。一段時(shí)間后，適當(dāng)放緩速度也無(wú)妨——即使到了那個(gè)時(shí)候，如果你想做到最好，繼續(xù)保持每天寫作的習(xí)慣會(huì)很有幫助。
Write in different styles: lists, humorous posts注, serious posts, interviews, and if you have thetime, even text that is completely unrelated to your blog. Just to get more practice.
寫不同風(fēng)格的文章：列表、幽默文、嚴(yán)肅文及采訪等，假如有時(shí)間的話，甚至可以是和你博客完全沒(méi)有關(guān)聯(lián)的文章。筆頭一定要勤。
5. Trust your gut[內(nèi)心的感覺(jué)]
5.跟著感覺(jué)走
The human brain is an amazing machine.
人類的大腦是一臺(tái)不可思議的機(jī)器。
This can be a bit scary at first as you don’t know how you have learned the sayings and wordplays you are using, and can’t be sure if they are correct or not. Uncertainty[不確定] is the priceyou have to pay for trying to learn to use the language in a natural way. You just have to gowith your gut and trust your brain when words keep popping up[突然出現(xiàn)] that you didn’t knowyou even knew.
這起先也許會(huì)讓人有些慌亂，因?yàn)槟悴恢雷约菏褂玫恼f(shuō)法和詞匯是怎么學(xué)會(huì)的，也無(wú)法確定它們正確與否。不確定是你想自然地使用這門語(yǔ)言所要付出的代價(jià)。當(dāng)你甚至不知道自己認(rèn)識(shí)的詞匯不斷地冒出來(lái)時(shí)，你只要跟著自己的感覺(jué)走，相信自己的大腦就行了。
I usually write freely on my first cycle, just trying to get the words and ideas out on paper. Andthen, on the second round of checking my text, I drop sayings that sound too uncertain to me, or run them through[瀏覽] a friend to see if they make sense or not. Usually they do.
第一稿我通常會(huì)隨性而寫，只是試著將詞匯和想法寫到紙上。到了第二稿檢查文章時(shí)，我會(huì)舍棄那些太不確定的語(yǔ)言，或者讓一個(gè)朋友瀏覽一番，看看它們是否說(shuō)得通。通常不會(huì)有問(wèn)題。
6. Proofread
6.校對(duì)
When you have finished writing your article and it seems nearly perfect to you, the next thingto do is to check it for typos[打字錯(cuò)誤], grammar mistakes, and just some plain weird soundingsentences.
寫完作文了，你覺(jué)得它看起來(lái)很完美，下一步便是檢查有沒(méi)有打錯(cuò)字、有沒(méi)語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤以及一些看起來(lái)就是怪怪的句子。
The easiest way for checking for typos is to use a spellchecker[拼寫檢查程序], but checking forgrammar mistakes is a lot trickier. What I do is that I usually check the grammar first inMicrosoft Word or just play it by the ear, depending on how much you trust your own Englishlanguage skills.
檢查打字問(wèn)題最簡(jiǎn)單的方式是使用拼寫檢查程序，但檢查語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤就繁雜得多。我通常先在Microsoft Word里檢查語(yǔ)法或讀出來(lái)用耳朵聽(tīng)，這取決于你對(duì)自己的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言技能有多大的自信。
And of course, if you want to play it safe, you can always ask one of your English speakingfriends to double check your article.
當(dāng)然，如果你想更放心，你也可以叫一個(gè)以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的朋友再幫你檢查一次。
7. Have English-speaking friends who are not afraid to correct your mistakes
7.結(jié)交肯糾錯(cuò)的外國(guó)朋友
The best way to learn to sound like a native is to hang out[出去玩] with them as much as youcan. By paying close attention to how they speak, you will learn the sayings they use, the slang, and even the jokes that they throw at you. All of this is important in making your English soundmore natural and conversational[對(duì)話的] rather than something learned from a book.
學(xué)習(xí)地道英文的最佳途徑是多和英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者打交道。仔細(xì)觀察他們的說(shuō)話方式，你可以學(xué)到他們使用的說(shuō)法、俚語(yǔ)，甚至是包括他們對(duì)你說(shuō)的笑話。所有這些都是重要的幫助，讓你的英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)起來(lái)更自然、更像日常對(duì)話，而不是從書本里學(xué)到的東西。
Instant messaging[即時(shí)通信], e-mailing, or even chatting with them face to face, if possible, areall good ways to learn from friends. And the best part in all of this? You can do it while having agreat time getting to know new, interesting people.
使用即時(shí)通信和電子郵件——如果可以的話，和他們面對(duì)面地交談吧，這些都是向朋友學(xué)習(xí)的好方法。最大的好處?你可以一邊學(xué)習(xí)，一邊了解有趣的新朋友，這非常有意思。
8. Study spelling and grammar
8.學(xué)習(xí)拼寫和語(yǔ)法
Yeah. I admit it, this doesn’t sound like a lot of fun at all. But to achieve greatness, you haveto put in some effort. And in the end, the reward of learning and becoming more confidentwith your writing is really worth it. Go find the books you were using on your English coursesback in school, or if you can’t find them, check if there are any good course books at the locallibrary.
是的，我承認(rèn)這看上去一點(diǎn)都不有趣。不過(guò)，若想取得成就，你必須付出努力。到頭來(lái)，學(xué)習(xí)的成果以及你在寫作上的愈加自信完全值得這樣的付出。找出學(xué)生時(shí)代的英語(yǔ)課本，假如找不到，不妨看看當(dāng)?shù)氐膱D書館有沒(méi)有好的教科書。
If you still want to go one step further, you can enroll[登記](méi) to a language course. Just makesure to pick one that is mostly about creative writing because that will get you moving fastertowards your goal.
假如你想更進(jìn)一步，可以報(bào)讀一門語(yǔ)言課程。要確保你選擇的課程主要是講創(chuàng)意寫作的，因?yàn)槟菢涌梢灾愀斓剡_(dá)成目標(biāo)。
9. Commas[逗號(hào)] and hyphens[連字符]—the tricky buggers[家伙]
9.逗號(hào)和連字符——兩個(gè)棘手的家伙
Commas are hard. Hyphenation nearly impossible.
逗號(hào)非常難。連字符更是難如登天。
The good thing here is that not even the English speaking bloggers always get these thingsright. But does that mean you don’t have to worry about them? No. If you want to be a greatwriter, you have to try to practice the hard things as well. All you can do is to learn about usingthem and then always double check your text to see if your punctuation[標(biāo)點(diǎn)] is correct.
值得慶幸的是，即使是以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的博主也未必能正確使用這些符號(hào)。但那意味著你就無(wú)須為它們煩惱了嗎?不。如果你想成為一名優(yōu)秀的作者，你必須在這些難點(diǎn)上多加練習(xí)。你要做的就是學(xué)習(xí)使用方法，總是反復(fù)檢查你的文章，看看你的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)是否正確。
10. Relax
10.放松一點(diǎn)
Last comes the most important tip of all: Relax, and enjoy your writing. To be a great writer, you have to put in a lot of effort, but it’s not going to happen overnight. So, while you arepracticing, don’t panic[驚慌]. Just write the best content you can with the skill set you haveright now. Put it online on your own blog and learn more as you go.
最后是最重要的一點(diǎn)建議：放松一點(diǎn)，享受寫作。要成為偉大的作家，你必須多加努力，而且不可能一蹴而就。因此，在練習(xí)的時(shí)候不要慌張。用你現(xiàn)有的技巧寫出最好的文章吧。將它放到你自己的博客上，之后學(xué)習(xí)更多知識(shí)。
Relax, have fun, and share your thoughts with the world!
放輕松，開(kāi)心玩，和世界分享你的想法吧!
