英語寫作當(dāng)中經(jīng)常會用到“……很重要”這一句式,一般考生會用something be important/essential的詞匯表達(dá)。不過學(xué)了比較狀語從句以后,大家可以試著用一種更高級的表達(dá)方式,一定會讓閱卷老師眼前一亮,作文高分就不在話下啦。
箴言仿寫:Cultivation is to the mind what food is to the body.
——M·T·Cicero
上述句子可以概括為A is to B what C is to D.替換ABCD四個名詞就可以用來表達(dá)“重要性”這一概念。
【例句】
★ 人生態(tài)度——樂觀與悲觀
A positive attitude is to life what the sun is to the earth.積極的態(tài)度對于生活,好比太陽對于地球一樣。
★ 談讀書
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.閱讀對于思想,好比運動對于身體一樣。
★ 贍養(yǎng)父母——家庭
Family is to the people what life is to the individual.家庭對于人類,好比生活對于個人一樣。
★ 投訴信

★ 談?wù)\信
Honesty is to the people what life is to the creature.誠信對于人來說,好比生命對于人一樣。
比較狀語(倍數(shù)表達(dá)法):
A+ be+倍數(shù)+as many/much as+ B
A+ be+倍數(shù)+the amount+ B
A+ be+倍數(shù)+what it was+ B
