雅思阅读结晶——学会句子分层,助你一目十行
“阅读速度快了就记不住内容??”
“慢慢精读似要到天荒地老??”
以上是两种阅读中所常见的难题。要解决以上难题,就要学会提取句子的主干,忽略其他枝节部分,巧妙地避开繁琐的句子结构和拗口的生词,以达到快速抓住文意的效果。以下将以一小段文字作为范例:
For centuries, the Chinese New Year print, or nianhua, was the most popular form of artwork to hang in Chinese house-holds. Evoking happiness and prosperity, the symbols used on these posters had to evolve to keep step with shifting cultural norms and epoch topics, even when the year 2018 arrives, the most beloved subject endured: chubby babi
1.Sometimes shown riding a carp or a giant peach, at other times wearing space suits or playing with telephones, the fleshy tots always radiated good health and beamed with innocent, unrestrained, unmitigated joy.
这是一篇关于中国年画的文章,介绍了胖娃娃这一经典的年画主题如何在当代艺术中获得新的变化。以上的段落看起来非常复杂,难懂,各种奇怪的新单词,尤其以第二句的超长句(下划线部分)最为吓人。于是我们开始着手排除句子的枝节部分,这些部分通常包括:
同位语 (同位语的作用在于对句子的补充说明,因此对句子主体不造成影响。)
形容词 (注意:并不是把所有的形容词都去除, )
多余的形容词 – 两个或者多个
动词作形容词 – 动词 + ing, to + 动词原形.
句子的context, 比如时间,地点 (根据文章信息多寡决定删不删)
从句部分
经过以上处理后再来看文章:
For centuries, the Chinese New Year print, or nianhua, was the most popular form of artwork to hang in Chinese house-holds. / Evoking happiness and prosperity, the symbols used on these posters had to evolve to keep step with shifting cultural norms and epoch topics, / even when the year 2018 arrives, the most beloved subject endured: chubby babies. / Sometimes shown riding a carp or a giant peach, at other times wearing space suits or playing with telephones, the fleshy tots always radiated good health and beamed with innocent, unrestrained, unmitigated joy.
许多世纪以来,中国的年画都是最受欢迎的艺术样式。其中许多元素都经受了文化偏好和时代变迁的洗礼。而时至2018,最受喜爱的题材依旧是:胖娃娃。 这肉乎乎小娃娃的形象总是散发着身体健康和快乐等寓意。
