三、书面表达中的谚语知识
将寓意深刻、富有哲理的谚语运用到英语写作中可起到描绘生动、画龙点睛的作用,从而提高作文的得分档次。例如:
(2007年福建卷)
假设你是林华,福建省某中学高三学生,请你根据以下学生会倡议书的内容给某英文报社写一封信,叙述拟开展活动的内容并发表自己的看法。
注意:1.信的开头语已经给出,不计入总词数;
2.可根据内容要点适当发挥,但不要逐条翻译;
3.词数100左右:
4.参考词汇:增进promote;鼓励节约encourage econonmy
Dear editor,
I am a student of Senior Three in a middle school in Fujian Province.
Yours sincerely,
Lin Hua
分析:本篇书面表达的主旨增进节约,提倡互助友爱。据此,我们能想到的谚语有: Saving is getting. (节约而后有。/节约就是获得。)
Waste not, want not.(不浪费,不愁缺。)
……
以此来点明主旨,表明自己对赠书活动的支持与赞赏态度。
One possible version:
Dear editor,
I am a student of Senior Tree in a middle school in Fujian Province.
In order that we can make the best of learning materials, the Students’Union of our school is arranging an activity. We students of Senior Three are called on to give away our used books, newspapers or magazines to the students in the lower grades. The idea, which is intended to promote friendship and encourage economy, is highly praised and supported by the teachers and students alike. The activity will last about ten days, from June 10 to 20.
Saving is getting. / Waste not, want not. As a student, I am strongly for the activity because it is very meaningful and helpful. I hope that this kind of activity will continue in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Lin Hua
(2007年江苏卷)

教育部倡导学生:
•每天锻炼一小时

请你根据以上提示,用英语准备一份发言稿,向同学们讲述一下阳光体育活动的有关情况,并就高三学生是否需要每天花一小时锻炼,谈谈你的看法及理由。
