英语人物描写(英文写作中如何描写人物)
关于描述技能的提升建议:以写人为例
描述人物,不外乎外表(appearance)和个性(personality),多数同学总喜欢用形容词、副词,这样会显得单调空洞。有一个4S建议可以帮助我们写的更生动。
1. Speeches:用人物对话、独白。例如:‘Do you call that a hat?’ I said to my wife.
用这样一个反问句,表达出作者对妻子那顶帽子的不满。
2. Senses:从不同感官入手。例如:Margaret never wore high heels,and when she walked she ducked her head. Now she stared at the hair dye on theshelf in front of her, biting her nail.
这里观察到走路时“duck(勾着头)”、“stare(盯着染发剂)”、“bite(咬指甲)几个动作,表现出描写的对象可能不愿意引人注目。
3. Scenes:写一个静止的场景。例如:The woman stood at the window of an expensive shop. She hesitated for a moment before she walked infinally.
通过“站在橱窗前(stood at the window)”、“犹豫(hesitated)” 这样的场景,表现出这位女士不是很富有。
4. Similes:用比喻的手法。例如:Her hair shinesin the light as water shines in the night.
写美丽的长发,将之比作夜里闪光的水。
