BEC閱讀技巧:銜接句子段落
英美經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易報(bào)刊文章與其他類(lèi)型報(bào)刊文章除在所涉及的內(nèi)容和專(zhuān)業(yè)詞匯上有所不同之外，在句子與段落的連接方法上基本一致。其連接手段可主要?dú)w納為以下四種：上下文句子間內(nèi)容的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系;替代;省略和采用連接詞。
1. 上下文句子間內(nèi)容的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系：
例：So far, the national trends in costs for wages, salaries, and benefits have glossed over these concerns. The growth in labor costs continued to slow in the second quarter – a pattern that held true in all major regions. However, the slowdown in labor costs is due to solely to sharp cutbacks in what companies, mainly large corporations, are paying for benefits, which make up about a fourth of total compensation costs nationally. Because of slower growth in costs of health care, workers' compensation, and state unemployment insurance, benefits grew only 2.6% during the past year, the lowest pace in record.
在這一段落中，作者用了五個(gè)cost。雖然每一句中的cost未必是前一句中同一詞的簡(jiǎn)單重復(fù)，但都與labor cost 相吻合，使整個(gè)段落所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容連貫地表述出來(lái)。第一句和第二句提出勞工費(fèi)用問(wèn)題，第三句提出原因，最后一句闡述了勞工費(fèi)用增加所生產(chǎn)的后果，意思層層加深，彼此相銜接。
2. 替代
例：But since few have marked down their own prices in line with the metal's fall, they will be able to recoup much of the differences. Not so the producers, whose income is directly related to the fluctuating daily price on the London Metal Exchange.
但由于迄今沒(méi)有幾家公司按照金屬價(jià)格的下跌程度來(lái)降低其價(jià)格，他們將能夠獲得差價(jià)的大部分收益。但是生產(chǎn)商家卻不是這樣，他們的收入與倫敦金屬交易所的每月浮動(dòng)價(jià)格直接相關(guān)。
這里so代替了to recoup much of the difference.來(lái)源：考試大
3. 省略
例：The Japanese have their electronics, the Germans their engineering. But when it comes to command of global markets, the U.S. owns the service sector.
日本人占有電器市場(chǎng)，德國(guó)人占有工程市場(chǎng)。但談及全球市場(chǎng)的占有量時(shí)，美國(guó)擁有服務(wù)市場(chǎng)。
第一句the Germans后面省略了have一詞。
例：Meanwhile, pressure has been growing from the car companies. GM ships about 60% of its cars and trucks with Ryder, while Chrysler ships some 40%.
與此同時(shí)，汽車(chē)公司方面的壓力在不斷增大。通用公司60%的轎車(chē)和卡車(chē)由萊德公司拖運(yùn)，而克萊斯勒公司也需該公司拖運(yùn)其40%的車(chē)輛。
最后一句結(jié)尾some 40% 后面省略了of its cars and trucks.
4. 連接詞
介詞和副詞常在句子和段落間起銜接作用，把句子和段落間的意思連貫地表述出來(lái)。西方經(jīng)貿(mào)報(bào)刊中用于承上啟下的連接詞可表示對(duì)比，如：but, however, whereas等;表示原因，如：since, because, due to等;表示結(jié)果，如：with;表示目的，如：so that, in order to等;表示時(shí)間發(fā)展的先后順序，如：first, second, next, then等，以及表示情況的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，如：and, as well as, in the case等。來(lái)源：考試大
例：Still, August's strong output gains don't look sustainable.
First of all, current modest demand growth will not support any more increase that large. Second, now that manufacturers have worked to get their inventories lower, they will be cautious about adding goods in coming months.
而8月份強(qiáng)勁的生產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)趨勢(shì)不會(huì)持續(xù)下去。
首先，目前較小的需求增長(zhǎng)不需要如此大的生產(chǎn)增長(zhǎng)額。此外，既然生產(chǎn)企業(yè)已經(jīng)設(shè)法去壓低其庫(kù)存量，所以他們對(duì)今后幾個(gè)月增加生產(chǎn)一事持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度。
