(2020年8月15日真题)
学生在结尾段落的时候写了如下一句话: To conclude, it is unfair to believe that the human nature completely explains one’s future crimes, as external factors are more decisive. 教师修改后的句子,如下: To conclude, it is unfair to believe that human nature or the genes completely account for why some people commit crimes, since external factors may be more decisive. * 补充了or the genes。the genes这个词汇的使用很有意思。 * explains 换成了 account for,只是一种替换,就是补充词汇吧。 * one’s future crimes 换成了why people commit crimes。因为future crimes给人感觉这个人将来就是注定要犯罪的,而why some people commit crimes不是这个意思,就不会给人这个感觉,尤其是有some 这个词缩小了人群的范围。 * 引导原因状语从句的as换成了since,更合理。as的“因为”意义偏向“于此同时”,since的“因为”意义偏向“既然”。那么,因为前文已经仔细讨论过了external factors may be more decisive,所以,在结尾处用since更合理。
