新SAT寫作的修辭分析

為了讓同學們更加清晰地識別分析和鑒賞英文文章中的修辭，CB大魔王將新SAT作文的落腳點放在了“寫作技巧和英文修辭”上，意味著“寫作技巧和英文修辭”在新SAT中是最基礎的內(nèi)容，大家不僅要熟悉每一種技巧和修辭，下面我們來看下新SAT寫作的辭部分析。

首先，我們一起來看一看OG中對于“stylistic and persuasive elements”的論述：

Your analysis of the author’s use of stylistic and persuasive elements can follow a number of paths. You may point out instances in which the author uses such devices and evaluate their role or their effectiveness in convincing an audience to action. You may also or in additionanalyze and evaluate the varying extent to which logic and emotion contribute to the persuasiveness of the text.

不難看出，我們對于文章的分析是按照兩個步驟來走的：

1. 識別+引用：point out instances in which the author uses such devices

2. 分析+評價的兩個維度：(基于說服的有效性)evaluate their role or their effectiveness in convincing an audience to action;(基于邏輯和情感)analyze and evaluate the varying extent to which logic and emotion contribute to the persuasiveness of the text.

第一步：識別與引用

讓我們從新SAT寫作考試范文“Let There be Dark ”中的這幾句話說起：

Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal anecdote – a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “wood so dark that his hands disappeared before his eyes.”

Bogard’s argument is also furthered by his use of allusion to art – Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” – and modern history – Paris’s reputation as “The city of light”.

Finally, Bogard makes subtle yet efficient use of rhetorical questioning to persuade his audience that natural darkness preservation is essential. He asks the readers to consider “what the vision of the night sky might inspire in each of us, in our children or grandchildren?” in a way that brutally plays to each of our emotions.

這三句話選自新SAT寫作第一篇官方范文。分別來自范文第二段、第三段、和第四段的第一句。文章分析部分的分數(shù)會按照這三段寫的情況判分，再來看我們標記的三組重點詞，它們就是各句的重點，相當于整篇文章就是按照這三組詞去展開的。也就是說，識別這三種修辭是我們分析的前提。

第二步：分析與評價

在進行完識別和引用之后，下面我們重點挑選正文的最后一段來進行深入分析：

Finally, Bogard(作者)makes subtle yet efficient use of rhetorical questioning to persuade his audience that natural darkness preservation is essential. He asks the readers to consider “what the vision of the night sky might inspire in each of us, in our children or grandchildren?”(文本) in a way that brutally plays to each of our emotions. By asking this question, Bogard draws out heartfelt ponderance from his readers (讀者)about the affecting power of an untainted night sky. This rhetorical question tugs at the readers’ heartstrings; while the reader may have seen an unobscured night skyline before, the possibility that their child or grandchild will never get the chance sways them to see as Bogard sees. This strategy is definitively an appeal to pathos, forcing the audience to directly face an emotionally-charged inquiry that will surely spur some kind of response. By doing this, Bogard develops his argument, adding gutthral power to the idea that the issue of maintaining natural darkness is relevant and multifaceted.

在這個分析修辭性問句的段落中，文學活動的三大要素“作者”、“文本”、“讀者”都有所兼顧。修辭性問句的使用者不是要得到答案，答案在設問之前已經(jīng)由作者精心安排給出了。設問只是為了喚出作者期望得到的，有把握得到的讀者的回響，目的是使文章生動有力。讀者在文本中感知到了什么情感，作者寫文章的目的就是什么，文本的意義也就得以凸現(xiàn)。

這就是新SAT寫作的修辭分析部分，不妨問問自己，作者寫了什么?為什么這么寫?這么寫對全文對讀者有什么影響?說到實質上，新SAT的寫作是一種以邏輯為基礎的批判型閱讀和文本分析能力的結合，而新SAT讀寫一體化的教學，正是我們的特色與優(yōu)勢。

以上就是新SAT寫作的修辭分析的介紹，最后留學監(jiān)理網(wǎng)預祝大家取得理想的成績。
