26、文A Letter Declining a Job Offer,3）用词单一 只是望词生义，无法或无意识将之运用于写作。如描述某物很好，一味使用good;陈述不同的想法和观点，只会think到底，而不知道使用believefeelclaimsupportmaintainarguehold 等词进行替换。,4）中式英语表达 考生往往把英语写作过程当成是把中文底稿译成英文的过程。翻译期间却忽略了中英文在表达上的不同，从而产生了所谓的chinglish.如中文的学习知识就不能生硬的译成study knowledge ,而应该是acquire knowledge.中文中的有事找警察中的找字不能译成lo
27、ok for 而应该是turn to .全句应该翻译成：you can turn to the policeman if you are in trouble . 中文中的健壮如牛要翻译成he is as strong as a horse . 策略：扩大词汇量，辨析同义词和近义词的意义及用法。,2、句子 1）语法及逻辑错误 语法上的错误通常表现为时态不一致，主谓不一致，句子成分残缺，垂悬修饰语和溶合句等等。 2）句子冗长累赘 英语的句式多简洁、且多被动。和汉语有很大的区别。在写作当中一般说来，文章越简洁表现力越强，给人的印象越深。并非所用从句越多越复杂表达就越地道。不可化简为繁，亦不可化繁为简。,3、段落 段落是一系列和中心思想密切相关的句子组合，是文章的重要组成部分，无段不成篇。好的段落应该主题突出，表达清楚，层次分明，内容充实，意思连贯，衔接自然。 段落即是文章的缩影：文章有开头、主体、结尾三部分。而典型的英语段落也有相应的三部分：主题句topic sentence 、扩展句developing sentence 和结束句concluding sentence 。有的段落还有过渡句transitional sentence。有时根据具体情况，一个段落只有主题句和扩展句，而将结束句放在文章的最后一段。,
