参考译文

岀远门的人常常需要决定是走旱路、水路，还是坐飞机。很少有人能够真

正喜欢坐几个小时以上的火车。车厢很快就变得拥挤、闷热，想摆脱开旅途的

困扰是很难的。看书只能解决部分问题。车轮与铁轨间单调的嘎喳声很快就会

送你进入梦乡。白天是忽睡忽醒，到了夜晚，你真想睡了，却很难入睡。即使

你走运弄到一个卧铺，夜间有一半时间你会盯着车顶那盏小蓝灯而睡不着觉；

要不然就为查票摸索你的车票。一旦抵达目的地，你总是疲惫不堪。乘汽车作

长途旅行则更加不舒服，因为连看书都几乎不可能。在公路上还好，你至少能

以相当快的速度安全地向前行。但旅行的绝大部分时间都花在路上，而且只有

很少的服务设施，交通也很拥挤。相比之下，坐船旅行或环游能够得到文明世

界的各种享受。你能够在甲板上伸展四肢、做游戏，还能也很见到各种有趣的

人，能享用各种美味佳肴——当然，这个切只有在大海风平浪静的情况下才有

可能。如果大海肆虐起来，你就可能晕船，那种难受劲儿是任何一种别的旅行

的方式都不会带来的。即使风平浪静，坐船旅行也要占用很长时间。没有多少

人会为享受坐船旅行的乐趣而牺牲假期的时间。

飞机以危险而著称，连老资格的旅行者也怕飞机。飞机另一个缺点是昂贵。

但就速度与舒适来说，飞机是无与伦比的。腾云驾雾，在30,000英尺高空以

500英里的时速旅行，这种经历令人心旷神怡。你不必想办法去摆脱旅途的困

扰，因为飞机会迅速地把你送到目的地。几小时之内，你躺在扶手椅上，享受

着旅途的欢乐。真正会享受的人还能够在某些航班上看一场电影和喝香槟。即

使没有这些消遣条件，也总是有事可做。飞机上，你能够观察世界上非同寻常

的奇妙的美景。你毫不费劲地飞越高山幽谷，你确能饱览大地的风貌。如果这

种景色被遮住了，你能够观赏一下体现在你面前的、一望数英里的、连绵持续

的云海，同时阳光灿烂，天空清澈明朗。旅途平稳，丝毫不妨碍你阅读或睡眠。

不管你打算如何消磨时间，有件事是能够肯定的，即当你抵达目的地时，你感

到精神焕发，毫无倦意，用不着因为漫长的旅途的辛苦而花几天时间休息来恢

复精神。

最后通过实例详细论述出国留学的好处。

关于写作：

三段法

第一段：开门见山

中间段：支持段一般是由一段或两段组成，目的是支持论点

每段的开头一句话和最后一句话一定要和主题密切联系。

参见Lesson41

L44-05end18'52"

Lesson44Aend1:32:39

Lesson44Bbegin1:12:29

L44-06begin18(43”

最主要的方法有三种：对比法，比较法，例证法

结尾段起到的作用是再次肯定和强调主题，加深读者印象。

段落是由主题句，扩展句组成，扩展句之后是具体的例子。

想表达不同的理论概念，要用转折句。

主题句应该要简练，要明确地表达中心思想。

Eg:1.Thediscriminationagaistwomenisveryobviousintheworld.

2.Thediscriminationagaistwomenisespeciallyobviousinthejob

ofmarketing.

3.Thediscriminationagaistwomenbeganin1910.

topic应为2O

主题句应该具有概括性，但是概括又不能太宽泛。

主题句确立之后，还要进一步利用扩展句为说明解释主题句的内容。

重复使用关键词。

内容要连贯。

衔接词的使用

1.起（开篇,引出论点）:atfirst,first,firstly,inthebeginning（起

初），firstofall,atpresent（当前）,nowadays,currently,tostartwith,to

beginwith,foronething（首先）,foranother（其次），inonehand—方面,in

theotherhand另一方面

2.承：tostartwith,atthesametime,atanyrate无论如彳可,

besides止匕夕卜，除了...之夕卜还有,apartfrom,inaddition,inadditionto,

furthermore,

infact事实上,actually,asamatteroffact,inreality,moreover,no

doubt,withoutanydoubt,

similarly同样地,inthesameway,meanwhile,inthemeantime,

obviously明显地,particularly,

suchas,forexample,forinstance,consequently,asaconsequence,

asaresult,

whatismore,whatisworse,whatisbetter

aboveall

L44-06end（43-02）18'43"

L44-07begin16,36"

3.折：afterall毕竟,终究,allthesame虽然，但是,anyway无论如

彳可，somehow,but,however,nevertheless,nonetheless,bythetime至！］这

个时彳度,此时,conversely,onthecontrary,despite,inspiteof,in

contemptof,indisregardof,bycontrast,bycomparison,fortunately,in

otherwords换句话说,ontheotherhand,unlike和...不同,不像,

whereas不过,

Eg:Hemadeamistake,afterallheisachildaged5.

Eventhoughyouarenotofmosthelp,I'mgratefultoyoujustthe

same.

Ihadexpectedmyselftopasstheexamination,somehowIfailed.

Idon'thavetheabilitytodothework,fortunatelymyfriends

romisemetohelpme.

4.合：主要是用来小结上文的或是用作结尾段：accordingly于是，所

以,ashasbeennoted(above)如前所述的，ashasbeenmentioned,as

hasbeentalkedof,

atlast,finally,lastly,atlength,

briefly简来说之，inbrief,inshort,inaword,inconclusion,insum,in

summary,tosumup,tosummarize,toconclude,onthewhole总起说来

L44-07end16'36"

L44-08begin15,56"

nodoubt毫无疑问，undoubtedly,truly,certainly,positively,surely,

obviously,

Topic主题

1.能够使用谚语作为topic

asthesayinggoes;asproverbgoes

2.定义法

Whatisadvertisement,itisthewordsorpicturesonamediato

promoteproduct/thesaleofproduct.

作业：illustrateyouropinionaboutadvertisementsonmedia.

3.能够使用提问法：Lesson7

illustrateyouropinionaboutfriendship

Doyouhaveagood/largecircleoffriends?

4.概括法：出现在开头段的首句或末句。

Iquiteagreewiththisidea.

5.间接开头法：先叙述别人的观点，然后引出自己的真实看法。

Eg:Peopleoftensaythatmoneycanbuyallthethings,butIthink

itisnottrue.

读文章时的注意点：

1.注意结构安排

2.找出文章关键词

3.注意每一自然段的段首段尾。
