方法四:巧用not only, but also
我们在讲解重要性和有害性句子的时候曾经用过not only, but also,不过这种写法,在not only和but also的后面都只能用一个形容词,的确有些"大材小用",其实not only, but also的变化有很多,可以用它控制主语:Not only will they+动词,but they also will+动词。还可以用它控制宾语:名词+动词+not only+名词1,but also+名词2 and such benefits (problems)as+名词3。
比如2007年的"自信"这篇文章,如果你想表达"自信的人可以融入社会、得到机会",除了用定语从句以外,也可以写成:Not only will a confident person fit into a competitive society, but he also will obtain more opportunities. 再比如说2006年的"追星"这篇文章,如果你想表达"他们浪费了很多本来应该花在工作和学习上的时间,正常生活颠倒,不吃饭、不睡觉、不做作业"就可以写成:Not only will they waste much time that should have been spent on their study and work, but their everyday life will probably go upside down, with their food uneaten, sleep lost or homework undone。
假如你写作的时候用不出较难的动词也不要紧,只要让动词简单一些,加强名词的具体化即可,因为还有名词+动词+not only+名词1,but also+名词2 and such benefits (problems)as+名词3这个结构帮助你,例如2001年"爱心"这篇文章,在表达"爱心可以给人带来物质支持、情感抚慰和精神支柱"这个意思的时候,就可以把谓语动词直接处理成bring:Love can bring people not only material support, but also mental comfort and such benefits as spiritual back-up。再比如2003年的文章写"溺爱",如果你想表达"父母给孩子们提供了可口的食品,舒适的住处和时尚的服装",则可以写成:Parents give their children only only delicous food, but also fashionable clothes and such benefits as comfortable dwellings. |
