很多同学写英语作文时,一提到”比较”就是 more…than,一提”对比”就是 but… 两个词走天下。不是不对,是太单调了。
📊 厦门灯塔威廉老师批改数据: 在批改的300+篇英语作文中,超过65%的学生在同一篇作文中重复使用”more…than”或”but”超过3次。而使用3种以上比较句型的考生,作文平均分高出2-3分(以15分制计算)。
比较对比写得好,不仅体现语言多样性,在雅思Task 1(图表数据比较)和议论文中更是关键得分点。
基础升级:别再只用 more…than
同一意思,3种表达:
| 原句(基础) | 升级句(中级) | 高级表达 |
|---|---|---|
| A is more important than B. | A outweighs B in importance. | A takes precedence over B. |
| A is bigger than B. | A surpasses B in size. | A dwarfs B in comparison. |
| A is better than B. | A outperforms B. | A is superior to B. |
对比结构:从 but 到平行对仗
初级写法:
Some people like studying alone, but others prefer group study.
升级写法(平行结构 + 对比连词):
While some students prefer independent study for its flexibility, others are drawn to group learning for the collaborative dynamic it fosters.
进阶写法(倒装对比):
Unlike solitary learners who value autonomy, group learners thrive on interaction.
雅思Task 1必备:数据比较句式
写图表作文,至少掌握这3类句式:
1. 倍数比较
- The figure for A is three times as high as that for B.
- A accounts for twice the percentage of B.
2. 差距描述
- The gap between A and B widened significantly from 2010 to 2020.
- A overtook B in 2015 and maintained its lead thereafter.
3. 相似比较
- A and B followed a similar pattern, both peaking in 2018.
- The trend for A mirrored that of B, albeit at a lower level.
实战练习
题目: 比较线上教育和传统线下教育
初级版:
Online education is more convenient than traditional education. But traditional education is better for communication.
升级版:
While online education offers unparalleled convenience in terms of flexible scheduling, traditional face-to-face education outperforms its digital counterpart in fostering real-time interaction and spontaneous discussion. The two approaches, rather than competing, complement each other in addressing different learning needs.
区别明显吗?高级版的每个比较都有具体维度(convenience in scheduling vs interaction in discussion),而不是笼统地说”好”或”不好”。
记一个高频替换表
| 要表达 | 初级词 | 升级词 |
|---|---|---|
| 比…大/多 | more than | surpass, exceed, outstrip |
| 比…小/少 | less than | lag behind, fall short of |
| 和…一样 | same as | comparable to, on par with |
| 不同 | different | distinct, divergent |
| 相反 | opposite | conversely, by contrast |
建议
写作文时别一上来就写比较。先把两件事物各自的特点写清楚,比较自然就出来了。比较不是目的——让读者看出你的立场才是目的。
