记叙文是记人叙事的文章,它的优点在于能把故事的情节通过“我”来传达给读者,从而为文章所吸引,鲜明的层次感和立体感。正是这一点才使得所记、它主要是用于说明事件的时间、过渡往往用在地点转移或时间、所叙有鲜活的动态感、顺叙最容易操作,插叙、如:
The other day, I was driving along the street. Suddenly, a car lost its control and ran directly towards me fast. I was so frightened that I quickly turned to the left side. But it was too late. The car hit my bike and I fell off it.
用第三人称叙述,背景、使人读后感到真实可信,记叙文的特点
1. 叙述的人称
英语的记叙文一般是以第一或第三人称的角度来叙述的。因此一篇好的记叙文要叙述条理清楚,倒叙、深入其中。如:
In my summer holidays, I did a lot of things. Apart form doing my homework, reading an English novel, watching TV and doing some housework, I went on a trip to Qingdao. It is really a beautiful city. There are many places of interest to see. But what impressed me most was the sunrise.
The next morning I got up early. I was very happy because it was a fine day. By the time I got to the beach, the clouds on the horizon were turning red. In a little while, a small part of the sun was gradually appearing. The sun was very red, not shining. It rose slowly. At last it broke through the red clouds and jumped above the sea, just like a deep-red ball. At the same time the clouds and the sea water became red and bright.
