19、2、过去分词，独立主格结构，动名词形式作修饰通常用在正式环境。3、排比，修辞，并列句通常用在正式场合。4、Anglo-Saxon词源的词一般用在非正式场合。5、French，Greek，Latin词源的词一般是用在正式场合，而且通常为多音节词。6、Have not, Must not, Can not等在正式场合不能缩写为haven't, mustn't, can't。7、非正式场合who可以替代whom。8、非正式场合，在虚拟语气中，当主语是I，he的时候谓语可以用was代替were。9、俚语，口语表达用在非正式场合。10、动词词组通常表示非正式的意思，为了表示正式意

20、思可以找到相近意思的词代替。下面给出几个意思相近但是分别表示正式和非正式用法的词/词组供大家参考： 正式 非正式开始 commence begin运气 fortunate lucky上升 elevate rise结束 terminate end继续 continue carry on话多 speak too much talk sb's head off总的来说，规律还是可循，在多看多练中就会找到感觉的。学习用英语写作应该首先学会使用最有用也最常用的词来表达自己的思想。用词组句往往没有统一的标准，但是，如果将正式用语与非正式用语，书面语与非书面语混用，往往会影响整体写作水平。 正式和非

21、正式英文区别（三）1正式用语与非正式用语顾名思义，正式用语系指在正式场合下使用的语言。而非正式用语则指在日常生活中，人们相互交往时使用的语言。就语言形式而言，正式用语多以单词的形式出现，而非正式用语则较多地使用短语。在长期的使用过程中，正式用语和非正式用语被约定俗成地固定下来，一些词典也对此做了说明。例如：正式用语非正式用语departleaveresignquitdiscoverfind outreducecut downexplode blow up2书面语和口语书面语和口语是两种不同形式的语言变体。口语是语言存在的最基本形式。从语言的起源和发展来看，口语是第一位的。书面语源于口语，是第二

22、位的。书面语是用文字的形式来传递人们的思想、观点等信息。它要求句子结构完整、严谨、工整，符合语法规则和行文要求，在恰当传递信息的基础上产生一定的修辞效果。英语书面语和口语的主要区别体现在：1)书面语常用非人称形式行文，即说话人不直接表明自己或他人，避免使用人称代词we，you，I；口语常以第一人称叙事，直接表朋说话者是谁。例如：A rich woman was killed last night(书面语)Someone killed a rich woman last night(口语)It's more tools that we need(书面语)We need more tools(口语)The heavy rain prevented us from starting(书面语)We could not start because of the heavy rain(口语)2)书面语常借用修辞手法，使文句优美生动；口语一般不用修辞手法，而用语调来达到这一效果。例如：Through the window，came in the sweet song(书面语)The sweet song came in through
