9、uch More Money本篇写作是一篇幽默故事的写作。本单元的写作任务是要求大家写一篇幽默故事。所谓幽默的语言指的是有趣、可笑而意味深长的语言。这里有两点需要强调:一是有趣;二是意味深长。即我们的作文语言既要有趣,又要有让人回味的东西。一味地有趣而毫无味道,这样的语言不是幽默,而是滑稽。对于作文语言来说,幽默的语言是一种境界,一种提升作文等级的较高境界。那么应该怎么做才能达到这一境界呢?让我们来看两段语言材料:1.Im worried about my daughter.She keeps being chased by the doctor.Has she tried
10、 an apple?解读:这两句话乍一看,看不出幽默之处,其实这里运用了延伸双关语。延伸双关语指巧妙运用某些语言现象(构词法、发音、谚语等)展开联想,从而达到某种幽默风趣的效果。要理解双关语的精妙之处,需要有一定的英语文化背景知识。本句就巧妙地利用了英语中的一句谚语“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”。说话人运用短语keeps the doctor away“摆脱医生的追求”来给人出主意,这正是一种幽默技巧。2.There is something wrong with these hot dogs.Well, dont tell i
11、t to me.Im only a waiter, not a vet(兽医).解读:这则幽默运用了“偷换概念”的方法,即把食品(hot dog)偷换成真正的动物来推卸责任。答非所问,却意味深长,发人深省,风趣隽永。从这些材料里,我们可以归纳出幽默语言的基本元素:1.夸张或夸张与比喻相结合。2.挪借。3.虚实转换(包括偷换概念)。4.别解。5.多义误解或双关。另外,写幽默故事应注意:1.幽默故事往往比较简短,并常带有推理性。前面的部分往往是起铺垫作用,后面部分才是幽默的“灵魂”。故事中的一些前因后果的说明常常被省略,直接进入一个意想不到的结局,使故事达到高潮。2.了解中西文
12、化的异同点。掌握不同的修辞手法。既要了解表层意思,又要领会深层含义。3.掌握幽默的重要载体双关语、绕口令等。You will Save Much More MoneyDick, a nine-year-old boy, is very naughty, but he runs very fast.One day, after school was over, he ran back home instead of taking a bus.Seeing his mother, he said happily, “Mum, you will be very pleased with what I
