Subjed:Crafting Beautiful English Sentences
主題:構(gòu)思精美的英語句子
Zhang Jian, Hi.
嘿,張劍:
If you recall, we "met" in cyberspace the other day chatting about the challenges of writing essays in English.
如果你還記得,我們前些日子曾在電腦空間里“見面”,聊起英文寫作何等之不易。
A recent search on DangDang.com showed that a certain Mr. Gu Yue has put out a book called "Crafting Beautiful English Sentences."
最近我在當(dāng)當(dāng)網(wǎng)站上檢索,發(fā)現(xiàn)一本谷約先生寫的書,名為《構(gòu)思精美的英語句子》。
The book, published by Shi He Zhi Shi, is sad to have Chinese learners of English as target readers
這本由世界知識出版社出版的書,是以學(xué)習(xí)英語的中國人為目標(biāo)讀者群,
and it addresses a range of topics from choice of words to sentence structures to editing to stylistic considerations.
探討了一系列問題,包括遣詞造句、句子結(jié)構(gòu)、編輯修改和寫作風(fēng)格。
What strikes me the most is that the book deals in great length with the issue of how to break away from the influence of Chinese language structures and thinking patterns,
而其中最讓入尋味的是這本書花了很長的篇幅講解如何克暇和消除中文語言結(jié)構(gòu),
which, as you and I agreed, seem to stand in the way of crafing good English sentences.
思維方式對構(gòu)思優(yōu)美的英文句子所構(gòu)成的種種障礙。
The book is worth checking out. I just thought you might be interested.
你我都覺得中文語言結(jié)構(gòu)和思維方式確實(shí)對構(gòu)思優(yōu)美的英文句子會構(gòu)成障礙。這本書值得查閱。我想你也許會感興趣。
