图画作文第一段:图画描述与主题阐述

图画描述(第 1、2 句)

引入图画描述(过渡句)

升级前:As is shown in the picture above, 图画描述. 注:升级前的句子就是你脑海中立刻浮现的句子,我们升级后再使用。 升级后:As is symbolically depicted in the cartoon above,还可用以下待选句(单图): 1.The cartoon above presents us with a thought-provoking scene:上面的漫画向我们呈现了一个发人深省的场景: 2.Portrayed distinctively in the drawing above is a common scene:画中清晰地描绘出一个常见的场景: 3.What is clearly conveyed in the picture is that 图片明确传达出的是4.Depicted in the picture above is a scene that strikes us as both familiar and thought-provoking:图中描绘的是一个既熟悉又发人深省的场景: 注 1:如果是两幅图,记得用复数。图画描述时中间需用连词,相似用 Similarly/ Likewise,对比用 While / Whereas,同时用 Meanwhile/ At the same time, 递进用 Moreover/ Furthermore. 注 2:如果是一图一表,其实就是图画描述和图表总体描述的简单叠加。 As is vividly depicted in the cartoon and clearly shown in the chart above, 图画描述, and 图表总体描述. The cartoon above depicts 图画描述, while the chart below illustrates 图表总体描述. 一般的作文书、课就到此为止了,没有讲核心内容——如何描述图画?即便是讲解了,你会发现他们对不同的图画有不同的描述方法,就好像量身定制一样,很难实现举一反三,这就是为什么你背了很多篇范文却还是没有学会写作。因此我们应该统一图画描述的方法,即分类、拆分、组合法。

如何描述图画:分类、拆分、组合法

插图 所有的图画均可分为一幅图和两幅图。一幅图可以分为非对话型和对话型。一幅图非对话型需要判断主体、环境、动作和细节,然后套用公式进行组合;一幅图对话型就是在第一种的基础上加上汉译英,中间再加上连词组合; 两幅图就是将第一种方法简化后重复两次,中间加上连词组合。一图一表就是简化后的图画描述和图表总体描述的简单叠加。

一幅图(非对话型)

插图 公式:环境+基本动作(do)+主体,主要动作(doing),with 细节。 例 2004 年: 插图

拆分

  • 主体:很好判断,通常为人或物。
  • 环境:若环境清晰明显,就写出具体环境;若环境不清晰,可用万能环境:在我们面前 in front of us、在图画中间 in the middle of the picture。
  • 基本动作:描述主体的存在方式,一般来说就是:站 stand、坐 sit、躺 lie、跑 run、停留 stay。
  • 主要动作:作者想要突出的动作,例如:听 listen、说 talk、读 read、写 write、穿 wear、盯 stare、想 think。
  • 细节:描述主体的表情和心态,如果想不起来,可以不写。
常见细节——with a sweet smile on his face 脸上带着甜蜜的微笑。 可细分,更具体。 with a confident smile on his face 脸上带着自信的微笑(2007 自信) with determination in his eyes 眼神中带着决心(2019 坚持) with an excited expression on her face 脸上带着兴奋的表情(2023 龙舟比赛) with curiosity in his eyes 眼神中带着好奇(2018 选课) with confusion on her face 脸上带着困惑(2022 听讲座) with a worried look on his face 脸上带着担忧的表情(2020 习惯) with tears in her eyes 眼里含着泪水(2005 养老足球赛)
  • 主体:一个年轻人 a young man
  • 环境:在操场上 on the playground
  • 基本动作:跑 run
  • 主要动作:冲线 rush
  • 细节:笑 smile

组合

As is symbolically depicted in the picture above, on the playground runs a young man, rushing to the finishing line, with a sweet smile on his face.

升级

加入 as well as 结构修饰主体: As is symbolically depicted in the picture above, on the playground runs a young man, active as well as vigorous, rushing to the finishing line, with a sweet smile on his face. active as well as vigorous 活跃又有精力的结构:形容词 1+as well as +形容词 2 记住以下两组形容词,以人或“拟人”为主体的图画用的上! 再练一遍,例 2001 年: 插图

拆分(例 2001 年)

  • 主体:小油灯 an oil lamp
  • 环境:在我们面前 in front of us
  • 基本动作:待着 stay
  • 主要动作:照亮 light up
  • 细节:笑 smile

组合(例 2001 年)

As is symbolically depicted in the picture above, in front of us stays an oil lamp, lovely as well as cute, lighting up the darkness, with a sweet smile on its face.

升级(例 2001 年)

还是短,翻译图画上的文字:Encircling the lamp are the words:” Love is a lamp. The darker the place, the brighter it shines.”有时图画中或下方会出现一句话或标题,大概率是主题词,主题词将会在下一句“主题阐述”句给出。因此在以往版本的作文模板中,为避免重复我不建议大家写这句话。但当你 1.描述图画遇到困难,首段篇幅较短;2.标题并不直接是主题词时,可以描述,句型如下: Below the drawing, there is a caption which reads: 翻译. The caption beneath the drawing reads: 翻译. A profound statement is placed below the picture: 翻译.

一幅图(对话型)

插图 公式:环境+基本动作+主体,主要动作. A 说的话, 关联词+B 说的话. 例 2022 年: 插图

拆分

  • 主体:两位女生 two girls
  • 环境:公告栏 in front of the board 或者万能环境 in front of us
  • 基本动作:站着 stand
  • 主要动作:谈论 talk about/discuss

组合

As is symbolically depicted in the picture above, in front of us stand two girls, talking about campus lectures. 如上图所示,两位女孩站在我们面前,正在谈论校园讲座。 One argues that campus lectures are irrelevant to her major and a waste of time. By contrast, the other maintains that attending such lectures is highly beneficial nonetheless. 其中一人认为,校园讲座与她的专业无关,是浪费时间;而另一人则坚持认为,参加这类讲座仍然大有裨益。(转述) 或 The girl on the left says,“The lecture is not related to our major, which is a waste of time.” By contrast, the girl on the right answers,“It will be beneficial nonetheless.”左边的女孩说:“这个讲座和我们的专业无关,是浪费时间。”相比之下,右边的女孩回答:“但仍然会有所收获。”(直述)

常用替换词

  • 认为:believe / contend / assert / claim / declare / state / point out / is convinced
    that / hold the view that / express the view that
  • 关联词:对比 Meanwhile / On the contrary / Conversely / However
    相似 Similarly / Likewise
注:推荐转述。人物对话往往十分简洁,直接翻译会显得文章低级。

两幅图

插图 公式:左图主体+主要动作(一般现在时或一般进行时). 关联词,右图主体+ 主要动作(一般现在时或一般进行时). 例 2020 年: 插图

拆分

  • 主体:年轻人 the girl/boy
  • 主要动作:think/ say/ do homework/ lie

组合

The cartoons provide us with a thought-provoking scene: the girl in the left picture is fully focused on her homework, thinking that she will feel relieved when she finishes her work. However in the right picture, the boy is lying on the sofa, telling himself that he will not start until the deadline. 漫画为我们呈现了一个发人深省的场景:左边的女孩全神贯注地做着作业,心想只要完成任务就会感到轻松。而右边的男孩却躺在沙发上,告诉自己要等到最后期限才开始。(转述) …saying,“I will feel relieved when I finish my work”.(直述) …saying,“I will not start until the deadline.”(直述) The girl believes that early completion will bring her relief.(更好的转述)

升级

升级需要补充基本动作+环境(见前文)。 The cartoons provide us with a thought-provoking scene: the girl in the left picture, sitting in front of the desk, is fully focused on her homework and says that she will feel relieved when she finishes her work. However, the boy lying on the sofa in the right picture says that he will not start until the last minute. 学至此处有没有觉得很熟悉呢?你会发现两幅图和一幅图写法类似,熟练后不必再看公式区分,直接增加句子成分、拉长句子、灵活使用就可以了。

例外

例 2010 年:该年份不适用于以上方法,而是用 there be 句型: 插图 The cartoon provides us with a socially symbolic scene: there are many cultural elements in the delicious and nutritious hotpot, such as Peking Opera, Kung fu, Shakespeare and so on. Below the pot, a caption reads: “Cultural hot pot, nutritious and delicious.”这幅漫画为我们提供了一个具有社会象征意义的场景:在美味又营养的火锅中有许多文化元素,比如京剧、功夫、莎士比亚等。锅下面写着:“文化火锅,既美味又营养。” There be 句型稍显平淡,重点不突出,可改为: The hotpot integrates diverse cultural symbols, such as… Appearing in the hotpot are Peking Opera, Shakespeare… This cultural container holds Eastern and Western elements, such as… 至此,图画作文描述讲解结束,请大家反复练习我上面讲的分类拆分组合法,让你从此不再害怕。

主题阐述(第 3 句)

图画作文是透过图画看寓意,历年图画作文均可总结出中心思想,汉语可用五个字高度概括:某事很重要。以下为证明。

历年图画作文中心思想汇总

  • 10 文化交流很重要
  • 11 保护环境很重要
  • 12 乐观(良好的心态)很重要
  • 13 选择很重要
  • 14 孝顺(陪伴)很重要
  • 15 拒绝沉溺手机很重要
  • 16 树立榜样很重要
  • 17 行动很重要
  • 18 选择很重要
  • 19 坚持很重要
  • 20 习惯很重要
  • 21 兴趣很重要
  • 22 学习(广泛获取知识)很重要
  • 23 传统文化很重要
  • 24 公园建设很重要(受到重视)
  • 25 表格
  • 26 双图表
注:以上内容是汉语的高度概括,是宏观概念,用于帮你明确主题、方便记忆、防止跑题。进行英文写作时,并非直接翻译这“五个字”,否则也太简单了吧。

引出主题阐述(过渡句)

升级前:The purpose of the drawing is to remind us that… 注:此组单词使用前需要考虑语境,越具体越好。例如 24、25 年用 residents、 23 年用 rural residents、22 年用 undergraduates。 升级后:The primary intention of the drawing is to remind the whole society that… 这幅图的首要意图是提醒整个社会… 待选句:Simple as the drawing is, it conveys a truth that… 图画虽然简单但是蕴含真理, The drawing, undoubtedly, emphasizes the core idea that… 这幅图,毫无疑问,突出了这样的核心观点… What the cartoon above mirrors is a thought-provoking phenomenon that… 上图反映的是一个发人深省的现象… 注:以上待选句,任选其一背诵即可。各种作文书里都有,它们给出类似上文所示的几个句子,却不告诉你省略号和冒号后边的中心思想怎么写。这就是上了考场无法套用的原因。下面我们来讲省略号代表的内容,即中心思想。

中心思想

方案 1:如此重要以至于 升级前:主题词 is so important that the problem deserves the highest level of attention and consideration. 注:主题词要具体到事,比如:信心匮乏、环境恶化、文化交流、广泛学习、行动、榜样、选择等。 升级后:主题词 is so indispensable that the subject deserves the highest level of attention and consideration. 以传统文化为例,2023 年: 插图 The purpose of the drawing is to remind teenagers and youngsters that traditional culture is so indispensable that the subject deserves the highest level of attention and consideration. 这幅图旨在提醒年轻人传统文化很重要,需要得到最高的关注和考虑。注:加粗的部分是主题词,不加粗的部分万年不变。 方案 2:给予高度重视 The utmost importance ought to be attached to 主题词 by 某人. 注:“某人”一般指政府、机构、个人、民众等。 以保护环境为例,2011 年: 插图 Simple as the drawing is, it conveys a truth that the utmost importance ought to be attached to environmental protection by our government and the public. 图画虽然简单但是蕴含真理,我们的政府和公民应当给予环境保护高度重视。 还可以换种写法——某人 should give the highest priority to 主题词. Simple as the drawing is, it conveys a truth that our government and citizens should give the highest priority to environmental protection. 图画虽然简单但是蕴含真理,即我们的政府和公民应该把环境保护放在首位。 方案 3:取得重大成就 Great accomplishments/ achievements have been made in 主题词 by 某人. 注:“某人”一般指政府、机构、个人、民众等。参考上文 us 的替换词。 以公园建设为例,2024 年: 插图 Without a doubt, the drawing and the chart emphasize the truth that great accomplishments have been made in the construction of public facilities by the government. 毫无疑问,图和表强调了一个事实:政府在公共设施建设方面取得了巨大成就。 方案 4:双重否定 At no time should we underestimate the significance of 主题词. 以孝顺为例,2005 年: 插图 The drawing conveys a clear message: at no time should the public underestimate the significance of filial piety. 这幅图传达了一个明确的信息:我们任何时候都不应低估孝顺的重要性。 还可以使用:
  • The importance of 主题词 should never be underestimated by 某人
  • The importance of 主题词 cannot be overstated by 某人
方案 5:强调句型 It is 主题词 that deserves greater attention. 以创新为例(特别注意,好多年没考的热点话题): The drawing, undoubtedly, highlights the core idea that it is innovation that deserves greater attention. 毫无疑问,图画强调的核心观点是创新必须得到高度重视。 还可以使用:
  • It is 主题词 that must be our top priority. 首要任务
  • It is 主题词 that requires our immediate attention. 立即关注
至此,第一段讲解结束。以 2024 年英一为例,完整的第一段是: The drawing on the left side provides us with a lively scene: several urban residents are exercising in a park and a youngster says that the new park is fantastic. Referring to the statistics provided in the right chart, the number of parks in a certain city increased remarkably from 406 in 2020 to 670 in 2022. The drawing and the chart aim to remind us that great accomplishments have been made in the construction of public facilities by the government. 注 1:现阶段对于第一段的学习,应先从细节跳脱出来,避免纠结,先保证能够迅速地写出上述简单的例子,然后在此基础上扣细节。 注 2:24 考研英语一是历年来首次将图画、图表融合,图表描述见后文。我认为图画、图表融合反倒比纯粹的图画作文或图表作文简单,因为受限于首段篇幅,考生无需对图画或图表进行特别细致描述。 注 3:背诵“公式、方案”可能有些抽象,本资料选取代表性例句,建议大家直接背例句后。若在练习时遇到困难,可反馈至我的自媒体平台,我会选择共同难点补充讲解。
