如何概括故事类文章内容要点 　　对故事类文章进行概括时，首先要找出“起因、经过、结果”，以及故事的思想意义；然后用一两句话将其表达出来即可。 　　建议考生先用中文思维理清故事大意，然后再翻译成英语，这样既能抓住要点，又能降低难度。 　　[实例分析]（东莞市2010-2011学年度高三第一次调研考试） 　　阅读下面的短文，然后用约30个词概括Monty Roberts的成长故事。 　　I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch（牧马场） in San Ysidro. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. 　　The next day he handed it in to the teacher. On the front was a large red F. The boy with the dream asked, “Why did I receive an F?” 　　The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant（四处奔波） family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” 　　He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.” 　　The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up yours.” 　　思路分析 　　Step 1. 找出故事的起因、经过、结果，以及思想意义。 　　起因：When Monty Roberts was young, he dreamed of owning a horse ranch, but was discouraged by his teacher. 或Monty Roberts dreamed of owning a horse ranch in his childhood, but his idea was rejected by his teacher. 　　经过：He didn’t give up (his dream). 　　结果：Finally/ Eventually he succeeded. (in running a horse ranch) 　　思想意义：One should hold on to his belief. 或One should stick to his belief. 或With strong belief, one will succeed. 　　Step 2. 用自己的一两句话将其表达出来。 　　（1）This passage tells us that Monty Roberts, who had strong belief that he would own a horse ranch (用定语从句写起因), didn’t give up his dream（思想意义）when he was discouraged(经过).
