技巧点拨
1. 项目描写一般是对某个事物、某项活动、某种风俗习惯等的描写, 考生平时应多阅读英
语报刊杂志, 了解最新的技术发展, 掌握一些相关的地道英语, 如“畅销书”可以翻译为
best sellers，“卖断货”可以翻译为 “sell out of stock”。
2. 考生在项目描写的作文中需要特别注意词性, 比如说“这个产品是高质量的”, 考生
容易错翻译为 “This product is high quality”, 这就是考生直接按照字面翻译, 没有
注意到quality是个名词而不是形容词, 所以考生应该翻译为 “This product is of high
quality”。
典型例题
你很荣幸地成为下一届奥运会的一名志愿者, 负责编写奥运比赛项目的英语介绍。
[写作内容]
请根据以下中文提纲，编写射击项目的英语介绍：
背景：射击最初只是生存工具, 19世纪末
才发展成为一项体育运动
1896：第一次成为奥运项目
1904：中断
1928：中断
1932：重回奥运会
1968：第一次允许妇女参加奥运射击比赛
现状：稳步发展，1896奥运会只有三项射
击项目, 现今有17项
[例题导写]
1. 首先, 认真审题, 归纳信息。对于事物的描写和说明, 考生可以根据事物的性质、特点
划分信息。本题目里对奥运射击的项目的陈述, 是按照时间顺序排列, 因此在信息点的划
分这步相对容易。射击的背景和现状分别是第一句和第五句, 射击的发展中1896-1932年
的变化可以用两句话表述, 1968年妇女第一次获得参加奥运会的权利可以放在第四句描述。
2. 接着, 词汇整理,草拟提纲。项目描写的文章考生要注意使用正确、地道的语言把句子
组织在一起。
词汇整理 翻译或完成下列单词或短语。
句1：
(1) 射击 ________
(2) 生存工具 _____________________
(3)直到„„才„„ __________
句2～句3：
(4) (运动)项目 ____________
(5) 中断 ______________________
(6) 重回奥运会 ________________________
句4：
(7)允许妇女参加奥运射击比赛
______________________________________
______________________________________
句5
(8)稳步发展 ______________
3. 难句翻译 翻译下列每组句子并合并成一句。
句1：(1)射击最初只是生存工具。
(2)19世纪末才发展成为一项体育运动。
合并： (并列句).或(定语从句, not...until的句型)
句2～句3：
(1) 1896：第一次成为奥运项目
(2) 1904：中断; (3)1928：中断
(4) 1932：重回奥运会
合并：
范文 Shooting, , a sport only in the late 19th
century. The sport first appeared in 1896, but none were contested during the 1904 and 1928 Games. The sport returned to the Olympics in 1932. to compete in the Olympic shooting in 1968. The sport has from
just three shooting events at the 1896 Olympic Games to 17 today.
4. 连句成文。考生在写作过程中不要被中文提示限制了思路。如第一个信息点的“生存工
具”, 考生容易翻译为 “the tool of survival”, 但在这里用tool是不贴切的, 射击
不是实物, 应该是指“生存的方式”, 所以考生应该用 “the means of survival/the
means of making a living”更贴切。又如最后的一个信息点“稳步发展, 1896奥运会只
有三项射击项目, 现今有17项。”看上去似乎有三个分句, 但其实通过逻辑分析，这个句
子用一个简单句就可以表示出来(“奥运会从只用三项射击项目稳步发展到现今的17项”),
也就是学生只需要使用 develop steadily from...to...这个词组就可以把这个句子表述
清楚了。

Homework1
假设你想说服你爸爸给你购买最新的一款手机—iphone 4, 请你根据以下写作内容给他描
述iphone 4的情况。
[参考范文]
The iPhone 4, a phone, is the fifth generation of the iPhone,
is ground-breaking and the best smart phone in the world. Coming in
two colors, black and white, it (保留)almost all of the same design
features its predecessor (前身), the iPhone 3.
However, , it has 200 hours standby time and 8 hours talk time on
3G. , the camera inside it is greatly developed. can
you order it to do things like sending messages with your voice but also it can
understand what you say and .
[精华点评]
这是对一个新的电子产品的描述, 考生可以使用生动的语言描述, 避免文章枯燥无味。如
表示“突破性的”, 考生可以使用形容词ground-breaking, 或者名词breakthrough; 表
示外形与iphone 3相似的时候, 很多考生可以考虑到be similar to iphone 3 in
appearance, 但范文中使用了retain almost all of the same design features as这个
短语，使文章的语言更加高级和生动。
最后两句是表现iphone 4改善了的和新的功能, 因此范文中补充了两个细节with more
powerful battery(第四句)和What is most amazing is that...(第五句), 使整个描述更
有吸引力。
