下面我们就详细为大家讲解其中一篇SWT,我们先上原文:
Firstly, from themacroscopic view, the dominance of American English is notprecipitated by the language itself, so the arising of English dominancein international communication is not solely the dominance of language itself.Just as the professor Jean Aitcheson Oxford pointed out, the success of alanguage has much to do with the power of the people who use it but has littleto do with internal features of the language. It is obvious in consideration toEnglish. During the 18th century and 19thcentury, the influence of theBritish Empire began to spread around the world for the sake of industrialrevolution, so English began to become popular. English was used not only inthe British Colonies but also in the diplomatic negotiations ofnon-English-speaking countries.
However, no matterhow powerful the adaptively is and how large the area that the power of Englishcovers, currently, the international status of English mainly springs fromthe status of America as a superpower after World War II.
Besides, with the development of the economic globalization andnew political structure, there is a great need of an internationallanguage. As result, American English became the first choice.
解题策略
攻破SWT的其实很简单,仅需运用好两个技巧,一是寻找关键点,二是使用连接词!!!
下面我们以此文章做示范,展示一下如何运用以上两点完美回答SWT!
本题的总体思路和要点整理如下:
首先,我们把文章分为两个部分。第一部分原文如下。我们先把这部分速读一下,找一下重点,并在重点下面划线。
Firstly, from themacroscopic view, the dominance of American English is notprecipitated by the language itself, so the arising of Englishdominance in international communication is not solely the dominance oflanguage itself. Just as the professor Jean Aitcheson Oxford pointed out, the success of a language has much to do with the power of the people who use itbut has little to do with internal features of the language. It is obvious inconsideration to English. During the 18th century and 19thcentury, the influence of the British Empire began to spread around the world for the sakeof industrial revolution, so English began to become popular. English wasused not only in the British Colonies but also in the diplomatic negotiationsof non-English-speaking countries.
以上文中划线部分是重点句,大家不难看出这些句子是高度凝练的主题句和观点句,这正是SWT需要重点参考并整合的信息。通过对划线句子的总结,我们大致上可以得到两个重点信息:
1. the dominance of AmericanEnglish和语言本身的内在特点无关,和使用者的影响力有关。
2. 工业革命后因为BritishEmpire的强大影响,English变得非常popular。
然后是第二部分,我们再把这部分速读一下,找一下重点,并在重点下面划线
However, no matterhow powerful the adaptively is and how large the area that the power of Englishcovers, currently, the international status of English mainly springsfrom the status of America as a superpower after World War II.
Besides, with the development of the economic globalizationand new political structure, there is a great need of an internationallanguage.As result, American English became the first choice.
和第一部分一样,上文中划线部分是重点句,这些句子也是高度凝练的主题句和观点句。通过对划线句子的总结,我们大致上也可以得到两个重点信息:
1. 目前英语得到全球广泛使用的情况源于美国在二战后的超级大国地位。
2. 随着经济全球化和政治结构变化,迫切需要一种全球通行的语言。
我们不难看到,本文内容是围绕着the dominance of AmericanEnglish展开的,所以答案是完全可以用the dominance of American English来做主语的。老师在这里给出参考答案:
The dominance ofAmerican English in international communication is not because of its internalfeatures but the power of those who use it, which explains the reason whyEnglish was popular during industrial revolution with the great influence ofBritish Empire and after World War II where American was superpower, and theneed of an international language due to the development of economicglobalization and new political structure.
