引導語：下面就來看看專四英語寫作中對句子的要求吧，以下內容由應屆畢業生培訓網整理而成，謝謝您的閱讀。
一、句子的一致性
指句子結構完整，時態、語態，語氣及句式的一致，舉重個部分共同表達一個獨立、完整的思想。句子各成分之間的關係應協調，連貫，自然平穩。
下面來看一下句子不統一的幾種情況：
1.句子意思表達不完整
× The lecture was given in such an interersting way.
√ The lecture was given in such an inereresting way that everyone enjoyed it very much.
2.句子的主從關係模糊
× We are going to visit John, and he is our English friend.
√ We are going to visit John who is our English friend.
3.連線詞使用不當
× The main reason he was absent was because he was ill.
√ The main reason he was absent was that he was ill.
4.主謂不一致
× Every teacher and student were invited to go to the party.
√ Every teacher and student was invited to go to the party.
5.中心不明白
× I was watching a film last night, I suddenly found Mary sitting in front of me.
√ When I was watching a film last night, I suddenly found Mary sitting in front of me.
二、句子的簡練
累贅是寫作常見的弊病之一。寫作時應力求言簡意賅，短小精悍。也就是說，在能說“走，天竺!”的時候千萬不要說“你挑著擔我騎著馬迎來日出送走晚霞地去西天也就是天竺現在叫印度的地方如來佛祖那裡取經到東土大唐來。”(咦?為什麼大家都在吐?)眾人：那個……總之，能簡潔就簡潔便是了。
下面來看幾句例句。
繁瑣 My little bother always disappears from view when it is time for dinner.
簡潔 My little bother always disappears when it is time for dinner.
繁瑣 The point I am trying to make is that practice makes perfect.
簡潔 I believe that practice makes perfect.
繁瑣 I am writing to call your attention to the fact that…
簡潔 I am writing to remind you that…
練習：
下列句子中都很繁瑣，請修改成簡潔句。
e are several things which are interesting here.
is encouraging and inspiring to note that sales which are reported right now have increased this month.
her factor that adds to the persuasive power of this speech is the vivid example is gives.
參考答案：
e are several things which are interesting here.
Several things are interesting here.
is encouraging and inspiring to note that sales which are reported right now have increased this month.
Sales have increased this month; the figures are encouraging.(特別說明一下，這句句子是商務英語寫作的範疇，一般不用形式主語，不用從句，所以這裡不要用it is + aj.句型。)
her factor that adds to the persuasive power of this speech is the vivid example is gives.
The vivid example also makes the speech mor persuasive.
三、句子的連貫性
指句子連線貫通，銜接自然。句子不論長短都應環環緊扣，符合語法、邏輯。請注意以下要點：
1.平行結構：把兩個獲兩個以上意思相近或相對的、地位相當的成分已同意與發行是泛指在一起。其中以下三條規則須加以注意。
a.使用相同的語法來表達具有相同功能的句子成分，可運用並列連詞and, but或or等。
× If you want to learn a foreign language well, you’d better try to think in it and speak it as much as possible.
√ If you want to learn a foreign language well, you’d better try to think in it and to speak it as much as possible.
b.正確使用相關連詞，如both…and, not … but, not only … but also等。
× Wang Lan is not only clever but also she is helpful.
√ Wang Lan is not only clever but also helpful.
c.一個句子或段落中的人稱、時態、語態要始終保持一致。
× One reason I like to go to school on foot is the physical exercise I get from it.
√ I like to go to school on foot I regard it as a kind of physical exercise.
2.代詞一致：句中代詞應在數、性、人稱等方面保持一致，或者與它所照應的名詞片語在這些方面保持一致。如：
We each are responsible for our own jobs.
We are each responsible for his own jobs.
3.代詞與先行詞一致：寫作時應弄清楚代詞究竟指代哪個名詞，否則意思不明確，造成模稜兩可的感覺。如：
× The old woman told the little girl that she was wrong.
√ The old woman told the little girl,”I am wrong.”
√ The old woman told the little girl,”You are wrong.”
四、句子的強調
強調能更有效地進行思想交流。寫作者為使讀者能更深入地瞭解自己的觀點，有必要運用強調的手段。這就好比平時我們做筆記的'時候，用熒光筆劃出重點，為的就是能一目瞭然。那麼寫作的時候，也不要忘記在必要的地方使用一下highlight，讓那些沒有顏色的亮綠亮黃，一下子達到讀者心裡去。
