對(duì)很多中國(guó)托福考生來(lái)說(shuō)，寫(xiě)作文等于“中譯英”。

在英語(yǔ)水平還未達(dá)到一定高度之前，考生們的英文寫(xiě)作通常都會(huì)受習(xí)慣的思維方式和中文句式的影響，最終寫(xiě)成了不土不洋的中式英語(yǔ)，結(jié)果就是讓考官們一頭霧水，老師們哭笑不得。

【案例1】

原文：Environmental protection has more and more gotten the attention of the countries around the world, and the best way of environmental protection has become the focus of the debate。

修改：Environmental protection has drawn increasing attention of the countries around the world, and people have been debating about the best way to protect the environment。

解析：

(1)“受到越來(lái)越多的關(guān)注”原文用has more and more gotten the attention，是典型的中文直譯，不符合英文的行文習(xí)慣，應(yīng)改成has drawn increasing attention。

(2)has become the focus of the debate即“成為討論的焦點(diǎn)”，但更地道的英文表達(dá)可以人為主語(yǔ)，如：...people have been debating about the best way to protect the environment。

【案例2】

原文：Gradually improved public awareness of environmental protection and insufficient environmental protection measures have been very difficult to reverse the trend of ecological and environmental degradation。

修改：Although more people have become aware of environmental problems and have taken measures to protect the environment, the trend of ecological and environmental degradation is hard to be reversed。

解析：原句英文脫胎于中文句式“……的措施很難逆轉(zhuǎn)生態(tài)環(huán)境惡化的趨勢(shì)”，但直譯出來(lái)的英文卻是典型的Chinglish。修改版本調(diào)整了整句話的句式，把原本過(guò)長(zhǎng)的主語(yǔ)變成了狀語(yǔ)從句，并用the trend做主句的主語(yǔ)，讓句式更平衡，表達(dá)更西化。

在托福寫(xiě)作備考時(shí)，要特別注意英語(yǔ)表達(dá)和漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)的差別，不要盲目照搬中文的句式。只有多多輸入優(yōu)質(zhì)的英語(yǔ)原文，并留心比較中文與英文的行文思路和表達(dá)上的差異，才能有效避免中式英文。
