如何借鉴新概念的文章精华
现今社会对个人英语能力的要求越来越趋向于全面，写作作为语言运用体系中书面输出部分，也变得日趋重要：个人英文简历，各种各样的考试中的写作，各处无不体现着英文文笔功力。一份文笔洗练清新的简历可能使你脱颖而出，赢得面试机会；写作考试中几处恰到好处的遣词造句，就可能使你的文章轻易取得高分。
而新概念英语这套教材以其权威性和经典性著称于世，其中文章皆选自英国作家作品，其中无处不体现出英国几百年文学史积淀而成的文笔精美的写作习惯，对于其严谨结构和精细用词的细细推敲可能获益良多。如果我们能通过学习，在写作中借鉴用上某些特定结构，可使我们的文章立即增色不少。下面我们就从新概念第二册当中选出几个例子，供大家借鉴和体会。 一、 在新东方课上，新概念第二册十四课中会讲到，有这样一句话：“As I soon learnt, he was English himself!”从中我们学到“as+主语＋动词＋逗号＋句子”的结构，用于表示“正如某人……的那样”。我们通过对主谓语的变通，可表示多种情况。如：我们中国人不管是说英语还是写英语都喜欢用一个结构“I think……”，用于表达“我认为……”、“我想……”，但多处多人重复，在写作考试中被判卷老师视为垃圾结构，极易引起其反感，而我们知道写作作为主观题，跟判卷老师的印象关系密切。若想避免此种情况，只需借鉴上文结构，改成“As I think, ……”，往往有事半功倍的效果。由这个结构还可表示“正如我们所知道的”（as we know…）、“正如某人所说的”（as somebody said…）、“正如我所听到的”（as I heard,…）等等。这个结构的学习使我们掌握了多种表达方式，尤其对英文基础比较薄弱的同学更有启发。 二、 新概念二册十课中的最后一句话：“It is being repaired by a friend of my father’s.”这里作者用了一个比较不多见的结构：双重所有格（a friend of my father’s）,用以恰当的传达一个概念：它正被我爸爸的（很多朋友当中的）一个朋友修理。括号里的内容不被翻译出来，但是作者隐含的意思有：我爸爸有很多朋友，修它的只是其中之一。有的同学对照译文翻成“It is being repaired by my father’s friend.”但这样翻译意思不到位，作者的爸爸就成了只有一个朋友，从而出现错误。由此可以体会到新概念用词的精细和严密，同时双重所有格也成为我们可以在考试作文或各种正式文体当中借鉴的表达方式，为我们的文章增色。 三、 新概念每一课除了文章和词汇是我们学习的重点，我们的课后习题当中也有很多值得关注的地方。如二册第十三课的课后难点为名词所有格，其中涉及到时间和金钱的所有格的直接使用。 首先是时间的所有格的例句：“He will arrive in three hours’ time.”由这个例句我们明白时间也可以跟有生命的东西一样有所有格形式，对我们表达一些意思方便很多，如“五分钟的路程”（five minutes’ walk）、“半小时的车程”（half an hour’s drive）、“两小时的飞行”（two hours’ flight）等等，在作文时使用则成为文章的亮点。其次金钱的所有格，有这样的例句：“I want ten pounds’ worth of minced meat.”这个结构比较难记，以前也屡次在大学英语四、六级考试中考到。而以前很多同学若想表达“十英磅的肉”这个概念要么不会，要么表达复杂。所以如果我们能在写作中有机会出现这样的结构，一来恰当表达，二来彰显英文功底。 以上三个例子，大概说明了新概念英语的文笔精细及可借鉴之处。作为一本经典地道的教材，里面还有诸多结构供我们学习并在写作当中借鉴。但是称之为“写作宝典”也是因人而异，关键还需认真细致的学习和体会，才能正确理解并加以实际应用。 |

With an abundance of qualified candidates to choose from, admissions officers can be more selective, making admission to top schools even more challenging for applicants. The Harbus, the Harvard Business School weekly student newspaper, recognizes that applicants require up-to-date materials and inspiration to match the current environment. While this book includes the latest application essays, which are updated regularly by the ad... missions committee, it retains several essaysfrom the first edition of the book because of their uniqueness as well as to reflect typical question topics that may reappear in future admissions' applications. It is worth noting that this book is created by The Harbus News Corporation, an independent nonprofit entity, not the Harvard Business School. The Harbus contributes profits to a grant-making foundation that supports community organizations and schools in the Boston area. The Foundation to date has awarded over 家850,000 in grants to forty organizations that pursue initiatives in education and literacy. The views and opinions expressed in this book do not necessarily reflect those of Harvard Business School, and the references to the school throughout the book do not mean that the school endorses these views or opinions. ix Acknowledgments A huge credit is owed to five contributors from the Class of 2008 and Class of 2009 who helped source the content, select essays, and write critiques and chapter introductions: Aastha Gurbax and Uma Subramanian from the Class of 2008 and Will Boland, Linda Dempah, and Zachary Surak from the Class of 2009. We thank all the HBSstudents and alumni who kindly shared their personal es... says.We would also like to thank the staff of the Harbus, including Lauren Sullivan, Marianne Bakula, and Christie Cuthbert, for their encouragement and support. Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not express our gratitude for assistance from our agent, Katie Boyle, and our editor at St. Martin's, Matthew Martz. x INTRODUCTION You are inspired, hopeful, accomplished, and eager. You seek per, sonal and professional advancement via an MBA that will prepare you for leadership challenges in any business field. You are aware, however, that Harvard Business School receives about ten thousand applications annually, and you are uncertain how to make your ap.... plication stand out. We understand. We have been in your shoes. This book seeks to demystifythe admissions process for applicants by providing a selective but robust sample of HBS essaysthat have sue, cessfullysurvived the admissions committee in the past. We aspire to show you a variety of writing styles, essay responses, and applicant backgrounds that have been successful in the past, but there are no foolproofprescriptions, shorts cuts, or magic formulas. There are probably as many perfect application essays as there are applicants. The chosen essays highlight ordinary applicants who have dem.... onstrated potential, vision, integrity, and leadership. While the MBA applicant pool can often swarm with people with business backgrounds, we are positive that this book will also inspire nontradi.... tional applicants because they will realize that there is no such thing as a standard applicant at Harvard Business SchooL We encourage you to bear in mind that your profession is not what makes the essay special. What makes you special is how you make the big (or small) decisions in life and how they have led to your growth. The only common strain in the successful essaysis that applicants have clearly xi Introduction described why each experience is challenging, educational, and transformationaL We hope this book motivates you to write great essays by revealing who you really are. Be captivating. Be truthful. Be yourself. When you sit down at a blank computer screen, you may be tempted to think that your experiences to date have been rather pedestrian. You are neither an Olympic gold medalist nor a Pulitzer Prize winner. We hope that the examples in this book will rescue you from this fear. Many of the essayscontain simple anecdotes with routine settings that demonstrate the applicant's maturity, aware... ness, and potentiaL 'Use anecdotes from your life to offer an astute glimpse into your personality, sense of humor, values, thoughtful... ness, and all other attributes that will contribute to your success in life and business. Even the most prestigious accomplishment will be deficient if you do not explain why it was important, what you learned from it, and how you have.grown because of it. First, make a mental list of the most influential and meaningful events and experiences of your life and begin to map them into your essays,but avoid repetition. While you may want to weave a few overarching themes in all your essays, use the essays to demonstrate different aspects of your intellectual, emotional, and moral fiber. For instance, if you choose to prove your ability as a competent project manager in one essay, you may wish to discuss a more personal issue like your relationship with your parents or partner in the ·next., Reach inside yourself for examples of strength, confidence, and accomplishment. In the end, your fundamental objective is to prove that you are greater than the sum of your individual application parts such as your GMAT score, academic transcripts, or professional laurels. While those parts of the application are significant, your essays will xii Introduction allow you to bring your charisma and individuality to life. So, steer clear of cut-and...paste jobs from the resume. Once you map out the essays, you will find the word limit excru... ciating, Although an obstacle, the word count can help you tell your story more selectively and succinctly. After all, does your employer want you to be unnecessarily long-winded and unfocused? Probably not. The essays included in this book will convince you that you can be poignant in few words. We suggest that you create the first draft without a strict word limit. In the subsequent draft, ask yourself re... peatedly: "What is my core message? Does this sentence improve upon or clarify that message?" By doing this, you will be able to dis.. till the key anecdotes and interpretations from a pool of excessive descriptions and unnecessary details. The essays in this book will help you to assess and celebrate your key experiences in a robust fashion. In the analyses, we consider each author's motivations, accomplishments, and shortcomings and assess whether they communicate them compellingly and credibly through their choices of content, structure, and style. We have selected essays that deliver the author's message in a way that stood out from the pack-your ultimate goal as an applicant. To do the same, concen.. trate on the frank analysis that follows each essay. The constructive suggestions, embedded in the analyses, will enable you to avoid common pitfalls and convert a good set of application essays into are markable one. We believe that you will find the sixty..five essays that follow to be useful examples, but remember to treat them only as examples. Let your uniqueness shine through your own essays and not through imitation of "the essays in this book. We cannot promise you that this book will get you into Harvard Business School. There are books, Web sites, and admission consultants that promise such n蔚栊
