表格及曲线图的描写.docVIP

表格和曲线图的描写 (description of tables and graphs) 表格和曲线图具有信息表达集中、一目了然的特点，是科技文献中常用的表达手段之一。将图表中的信息转化为英语描述，要注意以下几点： 一、认真观察，仔细分析图表信息，必须选择典型性、具有代表性的予以描述，突出重点，避免过多引用图表中的数字。 二、抓住关键词，写作时注意文章的连贯性，恰当运用启承转合词语。 三、图表作文结构一般分为三段。 第一段描述图表的客观概况并阐述主题。 第二段对图表中最有意义或最重要的信息进行描述、归纳或分析说明其原因。 第三段写出结论或评论，有时提出解决问题的办法，或引发读者思考发展变化的前景和趋势。 另外具体写作时还要注意： 时态：没有时间按照的表格和曲线图，常用一般现在时；有时间参照的：① 参照的时间在过去，用一般过去时；② 如果叙述的是经常出现的情况，用一般现在时。 需掌握的表达法： 表示上升、下降的词语 increase, go up, rise, raise, soar, rocket, grow, climb, double, triple, decrease, go down, fall, reduce, drop, decline, halve There is a rapid rise / sharp increase in… be on the rise / increase; be in decline 或 be on the decline sudden decrease steady decline / gradual fall / slow drop / V.+ by 20 % V. + three times be three times as +adj. + as increase to … 常用句型：as-clause As + indicated/ seen / shown + from the table/ in the graph As is known in the table…; As can be seen from the graph…; as-clause简化为“as+V-ed”结构 As can be seen from the table = As seen from the table As is shown in the table = As shown in the table As has been stated = As stated As has been proved = As proved As is shown in Fig.1 = As shown in Fig.1 还可用： According to the table / chart / graph… 关于图表类作文的常用句式: As (is) shown by the graph/in the table,… (概述图表）正如曲线所示，最近54年来该国人口飞速增长。As is shown by the graph, there has been a rapid increase in the population of the country in the past five years.
