英語(yǔ)四級(jí)寫(xiě)作技巧：and和松散句
Rambling Sentences and the ubiquitous "and"
"and"和松散句
松散句在文章中隨處可見(jiàn)，難以消亡。松散句在語(yǔ)法上并沒(méi)錯(cuò)誤，它只是太長(zhǎng)，且干擾讀者對(duì)文章的理解，不幸的是，犯有此類毛病的作者往往屢見(jiàn)不鮮。對(duì)此可遵循一條好的原則：如果發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)句子長(zhǎng)及兩到三行，則仔細(xì)考慮兩遍，它很可能要徹底改動(dòng)。
Rambling: The plane was ready to take off; having never traveled by plane before he suddenly felt nervous as the sky ominously turned from gray to black, and threatening bolts of lightning shot across the sky, and thunder echoed in the distance. ()
Better: The plane was ready to take off. He had never traveled by plane and suddenly felt nervous as the sky turned ominously from gray to black. Threatening bolts of lightening shot across the sky, and thunder echoed in the distance.

Better: I’m sorry to let you know that a winter storm will delay shipment of your order until February 16.
松散句經(jīng)常有很多"and"。在口語(yǔ)中，尚可多用幾個(gè)"and" 但若過(guò)多地出現(xiàn)在書(shū)面英語(yǔ)中，則令人難以接受。取代"and"的方法是改用逗號(hào)或從屬結(jié)構(gòu)，或者干脆省略。

松散句的寫(xiě)作技巧
1） 松散句（Loose sentence）不同于掉尾句，它不要求把某個(gè)部分特意留到句尾，而是想到哪里說(shuō)到哪里。例如：
Angela Mina lives in a very poor country where many children born die before their first birthday. Over 75% of all children suffer some forms of malnutrition, and unclean water, disease, civil conflict, and natural disaster are all challenges to the survival for many children and their families.
（The Atlantic, Jan. 1993）
并列句是一種松散句，它的分句各自表達(dá)比較完整的意思，并且前后次序常常可以顛倒。主句在前、從句在后的復(fù)合句也可算是一種松散句，因?yàn)橐话阏f(shuō)來(lái)主句表示的是整句意思的主體部分，而從句是表示次要部分，如補(bǔ)充、修飾等。松散句中的分句通常可以改成獨(dú)立的句子。
2） 同前面的掉尾句相反，松散句不屬嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)恼轿捏w，而適用于一種自然樸實(shí)的文風(fēng)。例如：
He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at you with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made you think of a charging bull. His voice was deep, loud, and his manner displayed a kind of dogged self-assertion which had nothing aggressive in it. It seemed a necessity, and it was directed apparently as much of himself as of anybody else. He was spotlessly neat, apparelled in immaculate white from shoes to hat, and in the various Eastern parts where he got his living as ship-chandler's water-clerk he was very popular.
這是英國(guó)作家Joseph Conrad的小說(shuō)Lord Jim的開(kāi)頭一段。作者使用了一連串松散句，把他的故事以輕松的口氣隨意道來(lái)，直到最后一句的后半部分，即從and開(kāi)始作者才改變句子結(jié)構(gòu)，以倒裝掉尾句的形式使“he was very popular”得到強(qiáng)調(diào)。這個(gè)小小的段落表明，優(yōu)秀作家是多么善于做到句式多樣化！
