从经济学达人学习雅思写作,原来Native的表达时这样积累的!~
从《经济学人》看雅思满分写作, 你值得拥有
曾几何时, 《经济学人》, 《国家地理杂志》成了老师争相吹捧的雅思备考读物,很多烤鸭都知道雅思阅读真题时不时从这两本杂志中挖些出来。可以说,不少雅思阅读的原文,就是从这里面挖出来的哦!~ 但其实除了这点,这两本小读物还有个很牛的屠雅用途! 那就是——你知道有多少学神拿这两本杂志来练写作吗? 对于有较好写作功底的童鞋们,快用经济学人里面的结构和语句装装逼吧!~
以下奉献一篇如何高效总结经济学人里的满分用法~
原文 “they are obsessed with growth. To fuel it, they are building ever more coal-fired power stations, a filthy form of energy. Their cities fume.”
小雅姐来带你看看,就这么一句话,到底可以挖多深~
Be obsessed with沉溺于,可用于环境类话题,经济类话题,如片面追求经济增速带来环境污染,就如这句例句:
The developing countries are obsessed with economic growth. To fuel it, they are building ever more coal-fired power stations, a filthy form of energy, leading to fuming of cities.
释义:发展中国家沉迷于经济增长。为了推动经济增长,他们一直在建更多的火力发电厂-一种极不环保的能源。导致城市都弥漫着烟雾。
又例如:
e.g.: Many executives are obsessed with market share, even at the expense of profit, and slashing prices will often win customers in the short run.
释义:很多主管着迷于争夺市场份额,甚至不惜牺牲利润,而且这种降价通常只能短期的吸引消费者。
此外,be obsessed with 还可用在孩子教育类话题,如孩子沉溺于网络游戏而忽视了其他能力的发展。
例如:In this digital era, some teenagers are obsessed with online games, as a result, they have less opportunity to interact with friends and are likely to be isolated.
从观点的角度看,原文这一句话
1.写作结构: 具体原因+结果拓展
2.主流 环境污染 原因分析非中式思维与观念
3.合理并用 清新而地道的用词搭配及句式。
其他高级词汇积累:
Coal-fired power station 火力发电厂
Filthy energy 不清洁能源
Fume 冒烟
下面小编再带你看一个例子
原文“The trouble, as the authors admit, is that emissions cuts will also be costly for China and India. They estimate that if the two countries were to reduce emissions by 30% by 2020 (compared with doing nothing), their manufacturing output would fall by 6-7% and their manufactured exports by more than that. As still relatively poor countries, they are less able to bear the pain.”
这句话可用于经济类话题,能源和环境类话题稍作修改即可应对环境污染治理成本高。The trouble is that emissions cuts will also be costly for relatively poor countries. If they were to reduce emissions considerably, their manufacturing output and would export fall dramatically, which they are less able to bear the pain.
释义:困境在于,减少废气排放对相对贫穷国家来说,代价很高。如果那些国家大幅度减排,那么他们的制造业产值和出口将会显著降低,使得它们无力承担。
Tips:
1.追求经济增速,新建大量污染能源及企业;
2.新能源研发成本过高,并会影响传统产业的发展。
如果把以上两句结合起来,可表述为
The developing countries are obsessed with economic growth. To fuel it, they are building ever more coal-fired power stations, a filthy form of energy, leading to fuming of cities. However, the trouble is that emissions cuts will also be costly for relatively poor countries. If they were to reduce emissions considerably, their manufacturing output and would export fall dramatically, which they are less able to bear the pain.
这就是活脱脱的critical thinking, 其实总结就是举一反三,保持发散性思维,如此看来,一篇好的《经济学人》是可以用到多种话题里,数不在多,在于精 !
