  对众多的中国考生来说,备考BEC高级商务英语考试的难度不言而喻,而写作部分可以说是考生面临的最大挑战。这一方面是由于中国教育不太注重研究英语的语言模式,另一方面也由于考生自身缺乏商业语料素材的积累。那么,考生如何才能缔造BEC高级写作的 高分奇迹呢?今天笔者主要介绍两种方法:英语语言模式的拆分与模仿和英语表达的“拿来主义”,希望能够帮助考生提升BEC写作水平。

  英语表达的“拿来主义”

   所谓“英语表达的‘拿来主义’”,指的是考生平时在阅读地道的商务材料或是商务英语教材时,要善于学习和记忆地道的表达方式,并练习在写作中使用。以BEC考试教材中的一段材料为例,我们来看看有哪些表达可以为“我”所用。

   例文:Jean Moulin is prominently located (1) in a well-established and fast-growing (2) corporate business area. The site is shared with an impressive selection of (3) companies and organizations. There is easy access to public transport from Jean Moulin with numerous bus routes serving the area. Two metro stations are also within walking distance. In the immediate locality there is a wide range of bars and restaurants as well as most major high street shops. Facilities in the area are therefore excellent.

  分析:这段文字介绍了Jean Moulin的位置及其附近的交通情况,其中一些常见的表达方式如下:

  (1) is prominently located (位于显著的位置,相似的表达为“is located at prominent premise”)

  (2) in a well-established and fast-growing … (并列的复合形容词作前置定语,相似的表达为“built as the most attractive economic development region”)

  (3) is shared with an impressive selection of … (相似的表达为“covering …”)

  (4) easy access to (便捷的路径)

  (5) with numerous bus routes serving (有大量的公共交通线路)

  (6) within walking distance (近在咫尺)

  (7) In the immediate locality (周边)

  (8) a wide range of … and … as well as… (有着形成系列的……和……,以及……)

   考生在掌握了上述这些常用的表达方式后,在写作中就可以将这些地道的表达变成自己的文字。以介绍一个工业园的交通情况为例,考生在写作中可以学习使用上述的表达方式。

   例文:Our Industrial Park has easy access to public transport with numerous bus routes serving the area and two metro stations are also within walking distance. In addition, the entrance of Airport Express is just 5 minutes drive.

   如上所述,考生在平时的阅读中要注意多学习地道的英语表达,掌握的习惯表达越多,写作起来也就越游刃有余。下文笔者总结了一些写作中的常用词汇和句型,希望能对考生有所帮助。
