# 招数1 “这个表格”替换 (主语)
具体化:什么表格?(反之亦然,题目说具体表格类型,改写时可换成简称)
The graph below -- The bar chart / The line chart / The pie chart
The graph and table – the data / the information (对于信息形式多样的表格可以直接概括为data数据或information信息)
Gives information 适合的情况下还可以替换为illustrate 2 the performance of
…gives information about Southland’s main exports -- …illustrates 3 the performance of Southland’s primary exports
也可以把表格数量具体化: the pie charts – the two pie charts,另外,the 也可以换为this
# 招数2 “展示了”替换 (动词)
shows – illustrates / demonstrates 或compares 或gives information / provides infromation
除了常见的shows, illustrates, demonstrates这些同义表达的相互替换外,范文中经常会使用compares 或gives information 来表达。
# 招数3 关键词替换

Example: yearly rainfall – amount of rainfall over the year
the average number of hours of sunshine per year-- annual hours of sunshine
2. percentage – proportion 比例
3. male and female -- men and women 男性和女性
4. 职业类型 – who从句

in Moscow and San Francisco -- in two cities
in three major cities -- in London, New York and Sydney
# 招数5 “动作“具体化
how a solar powered water pump works -- how a solar powered water pump is used to supply water for a village. (把work这个动词在该写时根据图表具体化为”被用来供水“)
# 招数6“数据“具体化
in 2003 and 2013 – in the years 2003 and 2013 (具体化“年“)
the online shopping sales -- the percentages of online sales (具体化数据类型:百分比)
# 招数7 时间表达
1. 时间段表达
from 2003 to 2012 – during the period 2003-2012
2. 将来时间
当题目中出现对于将来数据的预测时,可以用projection 5, prediction 来表达,另外,注意细节段落时态要转换为将来时。
in 2000, *20…, and future projections 6 for 2025
# 招数8 词性转换+ 句型转换
the changes that took place in three different areas of crime in Newport city centre -- how crime rates altered in Newport inner city
以上例子中,changes是名词,可以说the changes that took place in…/ the changes of ...(使用的句式是定语从句或of 结构“…的“)
改写之后的alter也表“变化“是动词形式,句型也有the change that…/ of… 变成了how…V+ed (宾语从句)
把以上招数按照顺序融会贯通,小作文题目改写大法就练成了,让我们来看一看红蓝OG中的具体题目以及改写。
