應(yīng)對上面這個題目(《劍橋15》真題),考官是如何寫“實線”上的這些總數(shù)的呢?
我們從2010年、2012年、2013年、2014年這四年的表述中來一探究竟:
In the year 2010, there were a quarter of a million visitors that stayed on cruise ships, while another 750000 visitors were staying on island that totals up to a million of visitors during that year.
解析:
★ “total up to 總計達(dá)…” 此處total為動詞用法
★ that關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句,基于主句部分的2個數(shù)據(jù)補充說明其總和
Moving on, the number of visitors staying on cruise ships decreased to 250000 visitors in the year 2012 while the number of visitors staying on island increased to 1250000 people. This sums up to an amount of 1500000 visitors that year.
解析:
★ “sum up to 總計達(dá)” 此處sum為動詞用法
★ this代詞,指代了前一個句子中的信息,基于前文的2個數(shù)據(jù)補充說明其總和
In the year 2013, 500000 visitors stayed on cruise ships while 1500000 visitors stayed on island that adds up to 2 million visitors that year.
解析:
★ “add up to 總計達(dá)” 此處add為動詞用法
★ that關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句,基于主句部分的2個數(shù)據(jù)補充說明其總和
During the next year which is 2014, a total at one million visitors stayed on cruise ships while the same number of visitors staying on island remained consistent which is 1500000 people, totaling up to two million and a half visitors that year.
解析:
★為了區(qū)別于上文的“total up to”在定語從句中的用法,本句中考官改寫that totals up to …為現(xiàn)在分詞短語totaling up to,依然起到了伴隨補充說明的作用
小結(jié):
除了掌握“總計達(dá)”的多種表述之外,我們需要關(guān)注的是在寫作中,詞匯分不一定要全依賴高大上的難詞,一些常規(guī)用詞的罕用詞性也很容易在表述上突出,能夠有效實現(xiàn)用詞不重復(fù)以及表述的要求。
其次,還可以在語法結(jié)構(gòu)上動手腳,如以上的定語從句結(jié)構(gòu)、分詞短語結(jié)構(gòu)、代詞引起的獨立句子等
