经济学人句型总结(四六级特刊.doc

精选优质文档-----倾情为你奉上经济学人句型总结（四六级特刊） 最近有读者留言提到四六级写作备考的问题，其实经济学人本身就是一个很好的写作素材库，文章中有大量优秀的句型可供借鉴在这里分享一些个人觉得比较好的句型供参考1.To equate ... with ...is to...To equate something with something is to...，意为“将……与……等同,这样是……”，放在议论文写作中可以增强论证效果如：a) To equate happiness with material wealth such as housing is to miss the true meaning of life.b) To equate rural migrant workers’role with unimportance and inferiority is to deny their contribution to China’s economic prosperity.2.... is a mixed blessingA mixed blessing (a situation that has both good and bad parts)，当在议论文里面要说明一件事既有好处又有坏处的时候，我们可以用上something is a mixed blessing，接下来可以就优缺点进行展开。

如：a) iTunes has proven to be a mixed blessing for the music industry: Digital revenue is growing, but CD sales have continued to plunge in the decade since its debut.b) Working in a big city is a mixed blessing.It is so convenient and comfortable there,but noise pollution and traffic congestion are two big headaches.3.It is getting harder to go anywhere without doing...It is getting harder to go anywhere without doing..., 这个句型很形象地说明了流行的程度——几乎是随处可见，躲也躲不开a)It is getting harder to go anywhere without noticing all kinds of Apple-related products.b)It has become harder to do anything without using digital gadgets--for many, they have become part of their life.4. That...is testimony to...That...is testimony to... XX是XX有力的证据，注意That后面接的是从句。

如：a) That so many Fortune 500 companies are investing heavily in China is testimony to its growing prosperity.5. There is no single cause of ...;rather,several have coincided There is no single cause of ...;rather,several have coincided ，造成某个现象的原因不是单一的，多种因素在起作用省略号中可以接pollution/economic decline/social instability 等现象6. ...is a panacea for...If you say that something is a panacea for a set of problems, you mean that it will solve all those problems. XX is a panacea for... 指的是XX是解决某问题的灵丹妙药 如：a) Technology is not a panacea for all our problems. b) The law will improve the lives of local farmers, but it is no panacea.7.If ever there was a sign that...this is itIf ever there was a sign that...this is it 如果有任何迹象表明……那么这个就是了，用来增强论证的语气。

类似的句型还有1. If anyone looks for further evidence/proof that..., they should look at...2. Those seeking more conviction that...can turn to...3. If anyone needs convincing that..., here is the proof.一个例子：a) If ever a company deserved the praise for bettering the life of billions,Alibaba is the one.8.Much ink has been spilled about…much ink has been spilled about... ，有很多人在谈论…… 句子后面可以接上要说明的热点现象，如：a) Much ink has been spilled about improving public security since the terrorist attack in Kun Ming.9.To say that… is to make it seem that...To say that... is to make it seem that...,这么说就相当于...类似的句型还有1.To say/claim that… is to say that...2.To say that… is tantamount to saying that...3.To say that…amounts to deny/ignore/admit that...例子：To say that blocking google and facebook helps to ensure social stability is to hint that people cannot think for themselves and cannot be trusted.如果大家有其他好的句型欢迎回复讨论！欢迎转发！欢迎分享和投稿，欢迎提出您的批评建议及阅读心得体会公众号：read_the_economist谢谢！专心---专注---专业。
