完結文章的技巧 (六) Reflection

文以載道，更可抒發感情，很多時候撰寫記敍文和抒情文時，如果能善用此技巧完結文章，一方面會使讀者明白作者對整個記敍事件或某件深刻事例的感受，另一方面亦感性地讓讀者知悉導致事件的責任誰屬，以至閱過文章後，易與作者產生共鳴。下列兩個例子可作說明：

1)      Topic: A page in my diary

When I look back upon my past years, most of what happened to me were blurred by the ride of events. However, I can still remember quite clearly the most thrilling moment when I first entered school.

2)      Topic: A bitter experience on the result announcing day

No one was to blame but myself. If I had worked hard, I would have passed the examination. This was a good lesson to me. I sadly closed my report and made up my mind on what to do next term.

＊＊你明瞭自己的文法水平嗎？

一篇好的文章需要文體及文法並重，宜重質, 不重量. 為考核同學能否正確運用英語文法, 本欄每期均列一句子，內含本港公開試考生常犯之文法錯誤、答案及分析於下期刊載。你會接受考驗嗎？

今期修改句子： I have learnt a lot of vocabularies today.

上期問题:：He talks to me friendly.

答案:  Friendly 應作 cordially 或 amicably

考核文法重點:  副詞 (adverb)

題解及分析:  很多同學會誤解, 凡英語匯有ly 尾均為副詞. 其實只有形容詞 + ly才是副詞; friendly 的結構乃名詞 (friend) + ly, 只是形容詞, 不能用之形容詞動詞talk, 應用cordially或amicably 友善及和善介地才對.

            當然, 也可以下列形式表示:  

                       He talks to me in a friendly way.

                       註: 英語有不少形容詞, 結尾為 ly 而非副詞, 如lovely, lonely, homely也可用上述形式表達.
