英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作當(dāng)中經(jīng)常會(huì)用到“……很重要”這一句式,一般考生會(huì)用something be important/essential的詞匯表達(dá)。不過(guò)學(xué)了比較狀語(yǔ)從句以后,大家可以試著用一種更高級(jí)的表達(dá)方式,一定會(huì)讓閱卷老師眼前一亮,作文高分就不在話下啦。
箴言仿寫(xiě):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(gè)名詞就可以用來(lái)表達(dá)“重要性”這一概念。
【例句】
人生態(tài)度——樂(lè)觀與悲觀
A positive attitude is to life what the sun is to the earth.積極的態(tài)度對(duì)于生活,好比太陽(yáng)對(duì)于地球一樣。
談讀書(shū)
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.閱讀對(duì)于思想,好比運(yùn)動(dòng)對(duì)于身體一樣。

談?wù)\信

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
