篇二：英语说明文写法

(五)

说明文写作方法

说明文是以说明为主要表达方式用来说明事(转载于:www.Zw2.cN 爱 作 文 网)物，阐明事理的一种文体。它通过揭示概念来说明事物的特征、本质及其规律性，给人准确的科学知识或正确思想。一般可分为实体事物说明和抽象事物说明两大类，词典、教材、论文、实验报告、产品说明书、广告、解说词及科学小品等都属于说明文。

按写作方法,英语说明文主要分为下面六种类型:

1.例证法

这是用具体例子来说明人或事物的特征、本质及其规律的方法,所用例子必须有代表性、典型性,能体现人或事物的本质特征。这是用特殊来说明一般的方法。

2.定义法

下定义就是给说明对象一个明确概念。这是科学而严密的说明方法。它既能揭示事物的本质特征,勾勒其大概,描绘其轮廓,同时也能确定事物的范围和界限。

3.分类法

分类法是对同属不同类或同类而不同种的人或事物,根据不同性质进行分门别类地说明的方法。分类是人类认识客观世界的重要手段之一。分类必须遵守分类规则,使分类对象具有统一属性,依据同一分类标准,并使分类的子项相互排斥,不互相包蕴。

4.因果关系法

事物变化的原因和结果是紧密相关的。如果某个现象的存在必然引起另一个现象的发生,那么,这两个现象之间就具有因果关系。因果关系包括"由果推因"(由结果去推测原因)和"由因推果"(由原因去推测结果)两种情况。因果关系符合人们的日常思维逻辑,因而在写作中得到广泛应用,常用 because, as, since, so, now that, if...then, the reason is that...等表示因果关系。

5.过程分析法

过程分析法就是把事物发展过程分为若干步骤,然后逐一加以分析说明。这种写法在说明文中使用得相当广泛。过程分析与叙事和因果关系等写法有密切关

系,但彼此又有明显区别:叙事研究的对象是"What happens";因果关系研究的对象是"Why it happens",而过程分析研究的对象是 "How it happens"

还必须说明的是,在实际写作中,我们很少单独采用上述几种方法中的某一种。不少段落(或文章)的写作都是综合使用各种不同的写作方法。同时还应明确,在写作中有意识地侧重使用某一种方法是有好处的。此外,上述这些说明文的写作方法在议论文中也常被采用。如何使用这些方法,写出一篇好的文章来,需在平时认真积累,勤加练习。

关于能源的问题成为了近年来大家关心的热点问题。很多不可再生能源需要大家去保护，节约。为了帮大家理清写这类作文的思路，我们来看一篇范文：

Ever since early this century, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life. It plays an important role in many fields such as industry, agriculture and the daily life of men. Electricity is a source of energy that makes it possible for the factories to turn out products and for people to create comfortable living conditions, for example.

If there were no electric power, things would be quite different. Machines could not run and people would have to fall back on their hands to produce what is essential for them to keep alive. Traffic would have to stop at night because there would be no lights in the street. A world in darkness would no longer be a pleasant one. In a word, things would be in a mess.

Therefore, we should realize the importance of electricity. As electricity is insufficient in our country, we should be frugal in using electricity. We should make great efforts to produce more electricity.

如何写好英语说明文

［摘要］

说明文是一种用于解释抽象概念，阐明科学道理和自然现象等的文体。它与其它文体存在着差别，其语篇结构包括含破题句的开头，充分说明主题的正文和简洁的结尾。说明文的写作方法很多，合理的安排应用，使文章更显得自然、鲜明、易懂。 ［关键词］

说明文 语篇结构 写作方法

How to Write English Exposition

［Abstract］

It is different from other kinds of wrinting .Exposition is made up of the beginning ,the middle and the end .Exposition has a lot of the pattern,properly arranging and applaying can make the composition natural,clear and easy to understand. ［Key words］

Exposition Strict organization patternWriting methods 引言

说明文是一种应用最广的文体，它不仅可以说明客观事物的特点和性能,介绍某种操作程序，而且还可以用于解释抽象概念，阐明科学道理和自然现象。我们通常所读的有关哲学，经济学，历史，政治的书籍以及报刊文章大都属于这种文体，甚至我们大学里的作业，诸如读书报告，学期论文考试的作文也都可以是说明文。 I、什么是英语说明文

1、定义

“exposition”意为“解释”，“说明”，作为一种最基本，最常用的写作文体，它主要用来说明事情的缘由或过程，向读者传递信息。也就是说，写说明文的目的在于对所写事物进行解释，回答 “怎么样”，“为什么”之类的问题，从而给人以知识。

2、说明文与其它文体的差异

说明文与其它文体在内容，组织形式以及现在目的等方面存在着差别。它与记叙文不一样，它不仅要读者知道发生了什么事及其经过，更重要的是要读者明白事情是怎样发生和为什么会发生。与描写文相比，它却要回答在什么情况下是这样子的。另外，从内容的组织方式来看，说明文要按逻辑关系组织内容，如由近及远，或由远及近，由次要到主要，由一般到个别等等。说明文和议论文虽都可以用于阐述某种意见，想法或理论，但说明文的目的在于解释，使之明白，而议论文则是为让读者接受或采纳自己的观点，主张。

3、说明文的特点

不论哪种文体，它们都有自己的特点，那么说明文有什么特点呢?

3.1思想性 (Significant)

说明文所提供的信息，必须是有意义，有价值的，并在提供信息的同时，需要深入的分析和见解。

3.2科学性 (Objective)

说明文是直接传播知识的一种文体，它的内容必须具有很强的科学性。反映的应是容观事物的本质特征，真实面貌，语言应准确无误 。

3.3条理性 (Logical)

说明文对客观事物的介绍必须符合客观事物自身所固有的客观规律或条理性。

3.4完整性 (Complete)

完整性是指说明文要具有完整的语篇结构。即要有含破题句的开头。充分说明主题的正文和简洁的结尾。

3.5通俗性 (Clear and Economical)

因为说明文的最终目的是给人以知识，所以它的语言力求简明，准确，通俗易懂，使人一目了然。

3.6趣味性(Insteresting)

写作时采用的例子要新鲜，富于时代气息。这样写出的文章不仅可以增强文章的信息性，而且可以引起读者的兴趣。

Ⅱ、如何写好英语说明文

1、写作前的准备

写文章之前，没有充分的准备工作是不行的。首先得确立话题，并去收集大量相关的事实材料。接下来就该选择合适的论题。它不仅指确立文章的题目，同时也限定材料范围。论题太泛或太窄都不能算是合适的论题。确立论题后，就该对素材进行去粗取精的过程，保留与论题密切相关的内容。最后，以逻辑顺序安排材料，并写出提纲。

2 、说明文的写作过程

提纲完成之后，便需要真正开始动笔了。一篇完整的说明文它包括含有破题句的开头，充分说明主题的正文和简洁的结尾。

2.1 开头段 （The Beginning)

开头段是文章的起始段，决定着文章的发展方向，其根本任务是点明主题，最简单的方法莫过于开门见山，直入话题，但这样做毕竟会使读者感到突然，因为读者对文章要说些什么缺少心理准备。鉴于此，在破题句出现之前，常有几句导语，它点明并限定主题的发展方向，提供与主题有关的必要信息。常用的有:

2.1.1利用引语

Hegel, the German philosopher,says, “We learn from history that men never learn anything from history.”This way remark has been confirmed time and again by history events,one of which is Histle’s invasion of the Soviet Union.

2.1.2提出问题

What made Hitler decide to leave Britain alone for the time being and turn east to attack the Soviet Union? What made him so sure of a quick victory in that vast county where Nepoleon had lost almost all his troops?

2.1.3 类比

A traditional story describes a foolish manlifting a rock too heavy for him and having his own feet squashed. Hitle was like that foolish man,but he was different in that, before he destroyed himself. He destroyed millions of other people.

2.1.4 定义

Fascism can be defined as the use of brutal force in enslaving the people

at home and the people of foreign countries. Fascism is oppresstion and aggresstion.

导入的方法很多，但具体采用哪种方式取决于作者从哪个角度来规定主题。开头段由两部分构成。除了导语还有破题句，顾名思义，破题句就是一语道破主题。它具体规定全文的中心思想，表明的是全文的总话题，最好是一句明确而凝练的陈述句。常出现在开头段的结尾。用词应确切，具体。不能出现模棱两可的，意思过于笼统的句子。一方面要明确文章谈论的对象，另一方面要预示文章的发展方向。破题句不可使用疑问句。

2.2正文 (The Middle)

正文就是要更加充分，清晰的说明主题。要自然，富有逻辑的承接开头。文章的中间部分按一定的顺序被分成几个段落。常根据所表达主题的重要性安排段落，将其推向高潮。在写作过程中，有几种常用的方法。如:

2.2.1举例说明(Example)

举例说明是运用实例说明观点，是一种最常用的说明手段。鲜明而具体的例子不仅能使文章显得生动，有趣，而且更重要得是能够使被例证的观点更加明确。从一般到具体是认识的一般规律。反映在写作上，就是采用一般一特殊式的语篇组织模式。看下面这段话是如何运用实例来说明的。

A part-time job supplements a student’s education. It can provide valuable practical education such as training for do-it-yourself project,knowledge useful to future housewife. Teachers.Further, it can provide valuable psychological training such as association with people from different backgrounds, taking orders from superiors.

作者从主题句(第一句)所概括的一般概念入手，然后用了三个排比句 (It can provide…,It can also provide…,Further,it can provide…)罗列出具体的例子，清楚地说明了主题所要表达的具体意义。

2.2.2过程分析(Process Analysis)

过程分析就是解释这一系列的操作步骤或演变程序是如何由始到终一步步被完成的。它分为两种:指导性过程分析和知识性过程分析。前者的目的是向读者提供具体的操作方法和步骤。这样的文章大到如何组织奥运会，小到洗发瓶上的使用说明。后者主要用于说明事情是如何发生或被完成的。可以是对某种自然现象形成过程的分

析(例如，地球是如何形成的)。也可以是对人类思维活动的分析，对社会现象的分析或说明(例如，美国议员是如何选举产生的)，它的主要写作目的不是指导读者怎样做，而是为了让读者通晓有关知识。实际上，我们平时积累的知识大多是靠阅读这类文章而获得的。

另外，与指导性过程分析相比，知识性过程分析不必十分细，因为读者并不要按照说明进行实际操作，所以说明就是不必面面俱到。

2．2.3分类法(Division and Classification)

运用分类说明法就是按照一定的标准把具有共同特性的有关事物分成属类，然后在就各个类目自身的特征分别加以阐述。例如，按写作的基本形式和目的把写作文体分为记叙，描写，说明和议论四种。一个国家的节日按性质分为Patriotic，Political和Religions三类。恰当运用分类法可以使说明文更加有条理，从而更有助于把事物的特征说得更具体明白。

2．2．4因果分析(Cause and Effect)

因果分析旨在解释事物间的因果关系，即看到一种现象推测其成因，根据某一现象的特点，推测它的发展或在某种条件下的成因。例如:

As the price of everthing from thoothpaste to tuition increase, workers demand higher wages to keep up with rising costs. This can produce further increase in prices or a descrease demand for manufactuerd goods, or both. Since production.tries to keep pace with demand,descreased demand is followed by descreased production.This,in ture, can lead to layoffs and unemployment, which further descrease the goods.

这篇文章通过因果关系的相互转化，一环紧套一环，反映了经济即危机愈演愈烈的过程。文章写得连贯紧凑，把因变果，果变因得关系清楚地表达了出来。

2.2.5对比分析(Comparison and Contrast)

对比是解释与阐明问题地好办法。在英语，Comparison和Contrast却是两个不同地概念，前者指相似之处地比较，后者则指相异之处的对照。写文章时有时需要运用两种对比方法，但往往有所侧重。虽然对比分析的目的是为了解释和说明问题，但必须要有一个具体的目的。下面3个句子都是有关父辈是如何对待孩子的。看它们是如何体现作者的写作目的的。

a. Despite their different ways of showing approval or disapproval for my
