英语专八作文summary写作8个技巧

下面小编跟大家一起了解英语专八作文summary写作8个技巧，希望对大家的学习有所帮助。
  1) 删除细节。只保留主要观点。
  2) 把长段的描述变成短小、简单的句子。如果材料中描述某人或某事用了十个句子，那么你只要把它们变成一两句即可。
  3) 避免重复。在原文中，为了强调某个主题，可能会重复论证说明。但是这在摘要中是不能使用的。应该删除那些突出强调的重述句。
  4) 压缩长的句子。如下列两例：
  “His courage in battle might without exaggeration be called lion-like.”
  可以概括为：”He was very brave in battle.”
  “He was hard up for money and was being pressed by his creditor.”
  可以概括为：“He was in financial difficulties.”
  5) 你还可以使用词组代替整句或者从句。请看下面的例子：
  “Beautiful mountains like Mount Tai, Lushan Mountain, and Mount Huang, were visited by only a few people in the past. Today, better wages, holidays with pay, new hotels on these mountains, and better train and bus services, have brought them within reach of many who never thought of visiting them ten years ago.”
  可以概括为：”Beautiful mountains like Mount Tai, once visited by only a few people, are today accessible to many, thanks to better wages, paid holidays, new hotels and better transportation services.”
  6) 使用概括性的名词代替具体的词，比如：
  “She brought home several Chinese and English novels, a few copies of Time and Newsweek and some textbooks. She intended to read all of them during the winter vocation.”
  可以概括为：”She brought home a lot of books to read during the vocation.”
  7) 使用*短的连接词。
  比如，可以使用but, then, thus, yet, though，不能使用at the same time, in the first place, because of these, on the other hand等较长的连接词。通常，使用分号就能够达成使用连接词的效果。
  8) 文章中的第*人称说的话通常在摘要中转换成第三人称，从而把大段的对白简化，比如：
  Kate looked at Paul disapprovingly: You use too much salt on your food, Paul — it’s not good for you!” Paul put down his knife and frowned:”Why on earth not! If you didn’t have salt on your food it would taste awful… like eating cardboard or sand… just imagine bread without salt in it, or potatoes or pasta cooked without salt!” Kate was patient. She didn’t want to quarrel with Paul. She wanted to persuade him. She said firmly:”But too much salt is bad for you. It cause high blood pressure and latter on, heart-attacks. It also disguises the taste of food, the real tastes which are much more subtle than salt, and which we have lost the sensitivity to appreciate any more.”
  可以用第三人称概括为：
  Kate suggested to Paul that he should eat less salt. She thought that eating too much salt would do harm to Paul’s health and that it could reduce the real tastes of food. But Paul disagreed. He said that food without salt would be tasteless.
