6．1段落的特征

 

一個好的段落應(yīng)該具有以下三個特征：1）完整性（completeness）； 2）統(tǒng)一性（unity）； 3）連貫性（coherence）。

 

6．2完整性

 

段落的完整性指的是段落得以充分展開。作者一俟寫好主題句，就應(yīng)該用細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推展，細(xì)節(jié)越充足越好。例如，你認(rèn)為“Riding motorcycles is dangerous”，你就應(yīng)該用你所知道的事實證明這一觀點是正確的。你可以使用數(shù)字（statistics），列舉例子（example），進(jìn)行描繪（descriptions）等等。

 

示范段落6-1

 

Ever since the time of the Greeks， drama has played an important role in man's lives． The Greek tragedies and come dies were a central part of the citizens' lives in ancient Greece． During the Middle Ages， Bible stories were acted out in churches，and wandering companies of players performed in the streets． In modern times， drama is brought directly into people's homes through the magic of television．

 

6．3示范段落分析

 

主題句： Ever since the time of the Greeks， drama has played animportant role in man's lives．

 

細(xì)節(jié)：1． ancient Greece

 

2． the Middle Ages

 

3． modern times

 

作者根據(jù)各個不同歷史時期提供細(xì)節(jié)，舉例說明戲劇的重要性。

 

6．4 統(tǒng)一性

 

一個好的段落應(yīng)該具有統(tǒng)一性。統(tǒng)一性就是一個中心思想統(tǒng)領(lǐng)整個段落。每個細(xì)節(jié)都應(yīng)支持主題句，不應(yīng)有無關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)。為了支持主題，要盡可能多地提供細(xì)節(jié)，但又要避免濫用細(xì)節(jié)。

 

讀下面段落，然后找出毛病。

 

① Innovations， whether practical or aesthetic， are often resisted by the general population．② When the early experiments in the field of aviation began their work， there were many who said，“If God had wanted man to fly， he would have given him wings．③The Wright brothers made the first powered flights in a heavier-than-air craft in 1903 at Kitty Hawk， North Carolina．④Even today there are many who strongly object to modern art and music as being nothing more than “splashes of paint and honking horns．”⑤The painter Picasso's well-known masterpiece “The Three Musicians” is done primarily in blues and browns．
