文章修改范例-路遇小猫

原文:

Yesterday I bumped into a cat on my way home. She was orange and thin. She looked like a homeless cat. No one seemed like her owner. When I was approaching her a little, she didn't step bak and made a sad sound. Like said "I am hungry, I am hungry!" I felt so sorry for her. But I didn't have anything to eat by myself. So I rushed to a convenient shop and bought some sausages. Then I returned, and she was there waiting. I peeled off one. I put it in front of her. She came close happily and sniffed at it. Then she took off proudly. Just like that. Without a Meow and vanished. What a rude cat!


优点:

表意明确,表达清楚

用词地道,清楚

逻辑较清晰


问题:

用词精准性可以提高:vocab

降低冗余度:concise

理顺部分逻辑:logic


写作等级:中级

判定标准:

1. 文章是否容易读懂:刘畅通顺

2. 是否make sense:中心明确

3. 用词准确性:准确、地道、精准

4. 语法正确度

5. 逻辑性:是否符合逻辑,把事情说得清楚

6. 冗余度:是否简洁,没有太多废话

7. 文章平衡度:整篇文章,是有理有据有说服力,还是说了太多没用的废话。


你现在的写作水平跟什么有关:

1. 你的语言基础:用词,逻辑等。到那时“某些类型”的基础并不一定有用。

2. 你的表述习惯:我想说的我就都能说出来?

3. 写文章的水平:认知,技巧,看书多少


英语思维的建立:

1. 老师的修改

2. 自己的成长:多写,多改,多读


具体修改:

1. 我们把这篇文章的用词,从“清楚”的程度,提升到“准确”的程度。

2. 修改一些语法问题


1⃣️ She looked like a homeless cat. No one seemed like her owner. ➡️ She looked like a stray cat. She didn't seem to have an owner. 


2⃣️ When I was approaching her a little, she didn't step bak and made a sad sound. Like said "I am hungry, I am hungry!" ➡️  When I approached her, she didn't run away. She started meowing and seemed hungry. 

问题1: When I was doing something, something happened. 表示一个比较长的事情中间,发生了另一件事。

问题2: step back 用在这里不合适,改成run away

问题3: 地道表达:

meow v. 喵喵叫

That cat is meowing. 那只猫在叫

问题4: 逻辑关系

猫叫和她听起来饿,有直接联系,所以放到一起。

问题5: 不经思考的句子

最终修改: She started meowing and seemed hungry. 

3⃣️ I felt so sorry for her. But I didn't have anything to eat by myself. So I rushed to a convenient shop and bought some sausages. ➡️ I felt sorry for her, but I didn't have any food with me. So I rushed to a convenience store and bought some sausages. 

衔接: 很明显有衔接关系的内容,需要衔接在一起。

看起来相近的词汇/句子,意思不同:

I don't have anything to eat. 我(自己)没有东西吃。

by myself 自己(做某事)

with me 身上没带(某物)

4⃣️  Then I returned, and she was there waiting. I peeled off one. I put it in front of her.  ➡️ When I came back, she was still there waiting. I peeled off the skin of a sausage and put it in front of her. 

I peeled off one. ❌ 不经思考的用词

peel 的正确用法:

👉 peel 及物动词+剥皮的对象

I peeled an orange.

Can you peel these potatoes fro me?

👉 peel off + 剥掉的东西

He peel off his wet shirt. 

5⃣️ She came close happily and sniffed at it. Then she took off proudly. Just like that. Without a Meow and vanished. What a rude cat! ➡️ She went up to it and sniffed it. Then she just took off. She left without a meow and vanished. What a rude cat! 

go up to…… 靠近,接近,去

sniff 的用法:

👉 sniff something 闻(离东西近)

He sniffed the milk and put it back.

👉 sniff at something 闻(离东西远)

The dog sniffed at the carpet. 


成品:

Yesterday I bumped into a cat on my way home. She was orange and thin. She looked like a stray cat. She didn't seem to have an owner. When I approached her, she didn't run away.

再一次精准修改:

1. 去掉冗余部分

2. 前后衔接

3. 逻辑


1⃣️ Yesterday I bumped into a cat on my way home. She was orange and thin. She looked like a stray cat. She didn't seem to have an owner. ➡️ Yesterday, I ran into a stray cat on my way home. It was a cute orange cat, but it was very skinny. 

注意动物用it, 除非确定性别

减掉冗余,理顺逻辑

增加语言准确性和生动性

2⃣️  When I approached her, she didn't run away. She started meowing and seemed hungry. ➡️ It kept meowing like it was really hungry.

剪掉冗余

作者需要揣测读者的默认状态

3⃣️ I felt sorry for her, but I didn't have any food with me. So I rushed to a convenience store and bought some sausages. When I came back, she was still there waiting. ➡️ I felt bad for the cat so I rushed to a nearby convenience store and got some sausages for it. The cat was still there when I came back.

4⃣️ I peeled off the skin of a sausage and put it in front of her. She went up to it and sniffed it. Then she just took off. She left without a meow and vanished. What a rude cat! ➡️ I put a sausage in front of it. The cat went up to it and sniffed it. Then it just took off. It left without even touching the sausage. What a rude cat!

揣测读者的默认状态,去除无关紧要的信息。

不要让读者脑补重要信息。
