托福寫作名詞化的使用技巧

　　托福作文中，如果大家能夠合理的運(yùn)用一些名詞化的句子，對于我們的作文是有很大的幫助的是，尤其是寫學(xué)術(shù)類的論文，這類句子更有助于我們拿到高分。

　　簡單說，名詞化即是動(dòng)詞或形容詞被用作名詞的現(xiàn)象。比如動(dòng)詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞：discovery→discovery， move→movement， refuse→refusal;再比如形容詞轉(zhuǎn)成名詞：careless→carelessness， difficult→difficulty， intense→intensity。

　　在以下四種情況里我們可以合理將句子名詞化表達(dá)：

　　1. 謂語動(dòng)詞的賓語部分

　　原句：I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.

　　名詞化：I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.

　　2. 結(jié)合被動(dòng)形式

　　原句：If people decide without enough persuasive information，...

　　名詞化：If a decision is made without enough persuasive information，...

　　3. 取代諸如從句中“the fact that”的用法

　　原句：The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.

　　名詞化：My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.

　　更好的名詞化：

　　a. When I denied his accusations， I impressed the jury.

　　b. In denying his accusations， I impressed the jury.

　　4. 名詞化部分用在there is/are的后面

　　原句：We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.

　　名詞化：There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.

　　原句：The floods considerably eroded the land.

　　名詞化：There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.

　　而以下的這些名詞化表達(dá)則顯得畫蛇添足，并無必要：

　　1. 名詞化部分跟在動(dòng)詞后面

　　原句：The police conducted an investigation into the matter.

　　改后：The police investigated the matter.

　　2. 名詞化部分作為主語

　　原句：Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.

　　改后：We discussed a tax cut.

　　3. 連續(xù)進(jìn)行名詞化

　　原句：

　　a. First， she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.

　　b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.

　　改后：First， she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.

　　4. 連接部分名詞化

　　原句：Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.

　　改后：They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.

　　原句：The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.

　　改后：Even though the motor housing was unstable， the research staff completed the field trials.
