EnglishParagraphWriting英语段落段落写作

段落是文章内容中具有一个完整意义的外部表现形

态，是文章结构的基本单位。段落通常由若干个对

一个主要观点展开论述的相互关联的句子组成。但

段落并非是句子的随意堆砌，句子内容之间应该具

有连贯和逻辑性。段落表达的内容应该是单一的，

一个段落只能表达一个意思，而不能把意思上互不

相关的句子堆砌在一起，造成段落内容的庞杂错乱

；段落表达的内容应该是完整的，一个意思应当尽

量集中在一个段落里陈述，最好不要分割成两段或

几段，而使段落内容支离破碎。

1.ParagraphStructure段落的构成OTopicsentence主题句

?在段落中用于概括段落主旨大意的句子，叫做主题句。一个好的主题句能够准确地表达作者的观点或态度。关于主题的这个观点或态度成为主题思想（controllingidea）。主题句限定了在一个单独的段落中所允许讨论的内容。

?例：

主题句Gold,apreciousmetal,isprizedfortwoimportantcharacteristics.该句中gold是主题词，twoimportantcharacteristics是表达主题思想的关键词。

Topicsentence主题句?在段落中用于概括段HowtoWriteaGoodTopicSentenceThreeessentialpoints:3个要点

1.主题句必须是一个完整的句子，包括一个主语，一

个谓语动词，常常还带有其它修饰语。下面的例子中

虽然有的包括主题思想，但并不是完整的句子。

主题词表明讨论的对象。主题思想的表述部分

限制或控制这个主题在一个段落中能够被论述

的具体方面。它应该是能够展述主题思想的一

个词或一个短语，即关键词。

?Thetopicsentencegivesaparagraphdirectionandpurpose.Ittellswhattheparagraphisabout(thetopic),andhowthewriterwilldevelopthattopic(thecontrollingidea).

?试分析下列的主题句：

Topicandcontrollingidea?Th例1

TheWomen'sMovementhashadseveraleffects

ontheEnglishlanguage.

在这个主题句中，表达主题思想的关键词是severaleffects，它规定了谈论的主题和内容。为了论证这个主题思想，作者应提供具体细节或实例来回答这样的问题：“WhatreasonsdidIhaveforsayingseveraleffects?”有可能列出以下原因：

1）IthascreatedMs.,atitleforwomencomparabletoMr.formen.2)TheMovementhaschangedtheendingofseveralcompoundwordsfrom–manto–person.3)TheMovementisresponsibleforsomenewterms.

例1TheWomen'sMovementhasha例2Studentsonthiscampusrecentlyvoicedseveralcomplaints.

问题：该主题句中，表达主题思想的关键词是什么？

答案：

severalcomplaints所以在主题句后，应辅以细节来论证主题思想severalcomplaints。有可能列出下列事实：

1）Theyvoiceddissatisfactionwiththecampuslighting.2)Theyexpressedtheirdisgustwiththecafeteriafood.3)Theyprotestedthegradingpoliticsoftheinstructors.例2Studentsonthiscampusrec例3Smokingcigarettescanbeanexpensivehabit.该主题句中，主题是thehabitofsmoking

cigarettes,

主题思想是Smokingcigarettescanbeexpensive。

在此句中expensive是表示主题思想的关键词，在展开

主题句的段落中，应论证吸烟的确是开销较大的一种习

惯。下面是一个说明主题展开的段落提纲。

1）Cigarettescostaboutseventy-fivecents.2）Theaveragesmokersmokestwopacksaday.3）Theannualexpenseforthissmokeris$547.50.4）Thesmokermustalsopayforextracleaningofcarpets,furniture,andclothes.例3SmokingcigarettescanbeaHowtoWriteaGoodTopicSentence3.由于主题句仅仅提及主题思想，因此只是一种概括性

的陈述而不提供具体的细节，它能被段落中其它句子

解释、论证或分析。主题句应该对该段落内容进行适当

概括和限制。主题句如果太过笼统，就不能包含具体的

思想和观点，对段落如何展开缺乏指导和限定，使读者

由于内容太空泛而很难确切地知道本段要谈论的内容；

主题句如果太具体，读者就会发现作者对这段内容已无

发挥、充实的余地，而无法将主题句展开。

HowtoWriteaGoodTopicSentWhichisagoodtopicsentence??1.Americanfoodisterrible.?2.AmericanfoodistastelessandgreasybecauseAmericansusetoomanycanned,frozen,andprepackagedfoodsandbecauseeverythingisfriedinoilorbutter.?3.Americanfoodistastelessandgreasy.

Whichisagoodtopicsentence1.Americanfoodisterrible.

第一句作为主题句不合适，因为句子内容阐述过于笼统和抽象，段落扩展的发挥点不明确。

2.AmericanfoodistastelessandgreasybecauseAmericansusetoomanycanned,frozen,andprepackagedfoodsandbecauseeverythingisfriedinoilorbutter.

第二句缺乏概括性的特点，局限于某个具体事务，而在文字和内容上无法再进一步展开。

1.Americanfoodisterrible.3.Americanfoodistastelessandgreasy.

第三句具有概括性的观点，可以通过列举事实、说明理由，补充细节材料，展开段落内容。所以，这是一个比较好的主题句。

?试分析下面的句子：是否能做主题句？

?HongKongisfamousforitsdevelopedeconomy,highstandardofliving,andinterculturalatmosphere.?分析：这个句子包含了过多的信息，主体不明确，这会使段落缺乏统一性。句中所阐述的三个部分的内容是互不相关的，不能单独放再单独的一个段落内叙述，而应放在三个段落里写。改写为：HongKongisfamousforitsdevelopedeconomy，就可以成为一个比较好的主题句了。

?主题句的位置比较灵活，通常位于段首，其优

点是开门见山，一目了然。用演绎法写的段落也

称

“扩张法”，就是以概述主题开首，随之辅以细

说，即用具体细节或事例来演绎展开主题句中的

主题思想。

?主题句有时也位于段落的中间。这种写作方法

常用来比较或对比不同的对象。段中主题句起承

上启下，使上下文平衡的作用。

?用归纳法写段落也称作“收拢法”，从细节出发，最后归纳到段落的中心论点。用此种方法写作时，主题句一般位于段落的末尾，它是依据上文的细节推论出的论点，起到画龙点睛的作用。

?在有的段落中，主题句甚至不直接写出来，而是通过细节的陈述含蓄地表达出段落的主题思想。是，需有读者意会。

HowtoWriteaGoodTopicSent?尽管主题句可以出现在段落中的任何位置，但对于英语写作的初学者来说，大多数情况下，采用段首主题句的方法进行写作练习，便于扩展和限制全段的写作，是一种行之有效的方法。我们必须明确，主题句无论出现在段落的何处，都必须是段落内容的焦点，即必须涵盖段落其它句子所阐述的论点。

辅助句也称展开句或推展句。

辅助句是主题句的延伸

，是段落中对主题句进行具体论证的句子，即以具体

的和真实的细节对段落主题进行阐述、说明、举证或

引申，从而扩展深化主题。

学生在英语写作中存在的一个最大的问题常常是在文

章中缺乏组走的信息和具体细节来说明或支持段落主

题。要写好辅助句，必须注意所有辅助句的阐述都要

与主题密切相关，要有充分的论证细节来说明主题思

想，保持句子的连贯性，所有的句子都应按其逻辑顺

序排列。

段落的一致性是指文章基于一个统一的主题，段落内容应保持一致，每个段落只能阐述一个中心思想，每一个句子都应与主题句密切相关，那些与主题无关和不能展开论证主题思想的句子应删去，从而形成一个严谨的段落结构。

阅读下面段落，并分析段落是否具有一致性。

?这个段落的主题是“Anotherproblemfacinganumberofelderlypeople”，中心思想是“livingonareducedincome”.因此，所有的句子都应围绕这个主题。但是在这个段落中，

有三个句子并没有讨论这一特定的主题。所以，这些句子应从这个段落中删除，或应在另一个段落中展开。

这两个段落都是讨论关于“survivingcancer”问题的，

两段的主题句相同，且均位于段首。第一段例文阐明主题句之后，用连续直叙的方法展述，并用三个辅助句以具体事实对其观点进行论证。结论句在前面展述的基础上进行总结，并与主题句相呼应。整个段落紧扣主题，结构层次清楚，具有同一性。在第二段例文中，并不是每个句子都紧扣主题，破坏了段落内容的整体性，段落显得缺乏统一性，是不可取的。

分析结果：这两个段落都是讨论关于“surviving3ParagraphCoherence

TransitionSignals转承信号词Tr转承词是保持段落连贯的一个重要方法。转承词与像桥梁一样把一个句子的意思同里一个句子连接起来。转承词与是用于指示写作方向的词语，告诉读者：作者在什么时候阐述一个相同的意思，什么时候阐述一个相反的意思，什么时候举例，什么时候给出结果或结论。因此运用转承词与不仅能使行文连贯，而且能指导读者跟随作者的思路进行阅读，清楚地掌握该短的脉络。
