英文寫作技巧之長短句原則

相信很多同學寫英語作文，都是越長越好，但是小編今天告訴你，作文不是越長越好，只要字數夠了，內容越簡潔越好，下面是小編爲您收集整理的英文寫作技巧之長短句原則，供大家參考!

一、在英語寫作中，長句和短句的表達效果不同，因而具有着不同的文體效果，過多地使用長句或過多地使用短句都不好。短句是指字數不多的句子，短句的特點是易於組織和表達，隨便自然，利於體現文章的速度和力度感。而英語長句的特點在於它便於表達嚴密的思想，縝密的邏輯和複雜的活動等等。所以，我們一定要把長句短句的優勢和特點在英文寫作過程中充分體現出來，而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主題，例如：

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可見，長短句結合，給人的感覺乾淨利索，也通俗易懂，更有利於表達作者的中心思想。二、需要注意的是：根據實際情況在文章中交替使用長句與短語，使文章顯得錯落有致，這樣不僅使文章在形式上增加美感，而且使文章讀起來鏗鏘有力。在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短，且先長後短;在文章主體部分，要先用一個短句解釋主要意思，然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句羣形式，定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝，文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。例如：

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

中午我們曬着太陽吃野餐。休息一會兒後，我們唱的唱歌，跳的跳舞，還有的講笑話、下棋，大家玩得很開心。
