【写作指导】
1.要点齐全
通知主要是向特定人群介绍未来某一时间将要举行的特定活动,写作时不但要注意表达活动的时间、地点、出席活动的对象、活动的主题、过程等主要内容,而且还应从写作说明中提炼背景式要点,另外还应注意格式要点和常识性要点的表达。
英文通知写作说明中经常交待活动举办者的身份和单位,写作时应做相应表达,使用Professor Smith from Nanjing University will come to visit our school.等句型。英文通知还应有自身特定的格式,如开头应顶格写上:Ladies and gentlemen或 Boys and girls或Dear students。同时还应注意常识性语句的使用,如正文部分往往可以写上Now, I’d like to introduce something about…to you./Everyone is welcome to take an active part in it. /Don’t forget the time and address./Wish you to have a pleasant time./ That’s all, thank you.等常识性语句。
2.语法正确
因通知介绍即将举行的活动,因此要体现一般将来时的时态特点,写作时应认真考虑所写内容在时间上是否真正指向未来,如果的确如此,应将一般将来时的时态落实到每一个句子的每一个动词上去,以确保语言的准确性。
同时应注意尽可能避免使用特长句来介绍活动的时间、地点、主题、出席活动的对象,而采用结构平衡对称和谐的句子来表达文意。有些同学喜欢使用这样的特长句:All the students in our school should attend the lecture on the present international situation will be given by Professor Smith comes from Beijing University on the fifth floor of the teaching building at eight o’clock this Sunday morning.这种表达语句错乱,文意难懂,宜改成:Professor Smith from Beijing University will give us a lecture on the present international situation. The lecture will be given on the fifth floor of the teaching building at eight o’clock this Sunday morning.这种表达结构匀称,语句通顺,准确性明显提高。
3.用词准确
写英文通知时,不少词汇是有规律地出现的。如give a lecture, give a talk, have a debate, take notes, hold a party, give a ball, attend the meeting/party/ball, hold a class/school/sports meeting, talk about sth., make a speech, take an active part in sth.等短语和月份、日期、星期等表示时间的词汇。同学们应将这些词语归纳整理,分类汇总,以便有选择地加以使用。如1月到12月可整理为:January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December;周一到周日可整理为:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday;日期的表达可整理为:1日常在1后加st, 2日在2后加nd,3日在3后加rd,21日在21后加st,22日在22后加nd,23日在23后加rd,其它日期均在数字后加th。
4.逻辑通顺
英文通知常交待活动时间和活动地点的变换,因此应着重用好表示时间过渡和地点变换的过渡性词汇。交待活动先后顺序时可使用first, second, then, finally, at last等过渡性词汇;交待活动时间变换可使用in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night等过渡性词汇;介绍活动内容可使用besides, also, too等过渡性词汇;介绍地点变换可使用here, there, on the one side, on the other side等过渡性词汇。这些过渡性词汇的使用对增强文章的连贯性、逻辑性和可读性有效提高文章的表达档次很有好处。
