14.2 How to Use Parallelism课程教案、知识点、字幕

你能把下列句子翻译成英文吗?“他非常的年轻, 出奇的英俊,对人格外的随和……”

这样的翻译代表着一种口语化倾向。

然而,如果我们把这些句子合成为一个有条理的句子,

并加上适当的副词,我们就可以这样说:

他非常的年轻, 出奇的英俊,对人格外的随和……

这句话就是小说《傲慢与偏见》中对彬格莱先生外表和人格的描述。

你认为它读起来是不是更容易、更明白?

我们可以在课文A中找到一些类似的表达。

例如,在第五段中:

每个肢体健全的人都想知道自己究竟能有多快、多强、多少耐力……

上述两句话有一个基本的相似之处

——都有成对的或一系列的单词出现,即平行结构或排比。

具体来说,我们将学习排比句,排比为什么如此广泛地被使用,

何时需要使用排比以及如何使用它。

首先,什么是排比?

在《李特-布朗英文写作手册》中,排比被定义为“两个或两个以上成分之间语法形式的相似性”。

以第一段另一个句子为例:

他祈求他的降落伞能朝大坝相反方向打幵,伞衣别折叠,

风镜随手可拿,疾风不会把他刮回到大坝。

在这个句子中,“that”一词的重复体现了排比句的结构。

我们在一些名著中也能找到大量的类似表达。

例如,从我所读过的许多书看来,

我相信那的确是非常普遍的一种通病,

人性特别容易趋向于这方面,

简直谁都不免因为自己具有了某种品质而自命不凡,不管这种特质是真实的,

还是想象出来的(《傲慢与偏见》)。

在这个句子中,“that”的重复出现也体现了排比的特征。

下面我们就来谈谈第二个问题。

为什么排比会被如此广泛地使用?

这是因为使用成对的或是一系列的单词、短语或句子

我们会得到相同的结构,从而使句子更加通俗易懂、简单明了。

让我们通过阅读第一段中的一个句子来学习排比效果:

他迅速收起降落伞,随后,他一声大喊,音量盖过了溪流声。

喊声惊动了仍坐在大坝上的人们,惊动了路过的司机和乘客,

甚至还惊动了盘旋在峡谷上空的雄鹰。

就像课文A的作者一样,一个杰出的演说家也倾向于运用排比,从而使得演讲更加通俗易懂。

所以,在一些著名政治家的演讲中我们可以发现很多典型的排比句。这其中包括丘吉尔的“我们将在海滩作战”、马丁·路德·金的

“我有一个梦想”以及奥巴马在复旦大学的演讲。

这样的例子随处可见:

我们所做的工作,我们所建立的繁荣,我们所保护的环境,我们所追求的安全,所有这些都是共同的。(奥巴马复旦大学演讲)

下面,让我们看第三点。

我们应该在什么时候使用排比?

首先,关联词“and,but,or,yet”一般是使用排比的提示词。

《寂静的春天》的作者用这样的句子描述了杀虫剂给人类和自然带来的伤害:

从蓝莓园漂浮的砷粉尘扩散到了毗邻的农场,弄脏了小溪,

荼毒了蜜蜂和奶牛,并且引发人类患病。

如范例所示,排比句的各个成分在结构上都相互对应,但是它们并不总是逐词对应。

在上一句中,单词“fatally”就是一个例证。

其次,有效的排比将帮助你用一个有条理的单句来表达相关的观点,

而无需使用几个句子,从而增加连贯性。

你能把下列两句合成一句吗?

“新程序运行平稳。它也很高效。”

是的,这句话可以修改为“新程序平稳、高效地运行”。

除此之外,我国一些研究者指出:

大学生,包括英语专业的学生在写作时有一个严重的问题——口语化倾向。

在某种程度上,这个问题可以通过排比的使用得到解决。

现在,我们来谈最后一点——如何写排比句。

排比的原则是形式应该反映意义:

既然复合结构的各个部分具有相同的功能和重要性,

那么它们应该有相同的语法形式。

排比强化和突出了复合的句子成分之间的密切关系。

假如今天的主题是垃圾食品,我们可以用并列的词、短语和从句来表达相同的意思。

我们可以说:

垃圾食品可能会导致糖尿病,心脏病和肥胖。

或者垃圾食品可能会导致你患糖尿病,心脏病,以及体重增加。

或者如果你吃垃圾食品,你可能患糖尿病,你可能得心脏病,你还可能增加体重。

既然排比可以使你的句子更加流畅和清晰,为什么不试一试呢?
