all this 还是 all these

 

■安徽省临泉县班超教育  张必成

 

在做短文改错和写作的时候,我们经常会遇到上文对事件或事物列举的情形,而在列举之后对于如何作总结性衔接的问题大家时常会感到有些困惑。本文试就all thisall these在语篇中的这种功能及其在具体应试中的应对策略做一下简单探讨。

 

试题展示

先看看一个短文改错实战练习题:

 I will spend this summer holiday in the countryside. Although the city is modern and convenience, there are still some problems, such as airs pollution, crowdedness and noise. In the countryside I can enjoy comfortable and quiet life. There, the air is fresh but the water is clean. Trees are green and birds is singing. I can also go to boating, fishing and swimming in the lake. What’s worse, I can climb the hills. All this will be interesting and good for your health. Above all, I can learn more about nature. So I wanted to go to the countryside for a change. I’m looking forward to the come of my summer holiday. (上文黑色粗体字是需要改动之处)

这篇文章中最让同学们及老师纠结的就是这里的all this --- 既然上文列举了那么多在乡间生活的方方面面的事,那么这里的this要不要改成these呢?

 

【简要分析】

一、这里实际上涉及到的是二者在语篇中回指 (back referring) 功能方面的区别。咱们先看看在谈到 this/that/these/those这四个词单独表回指功能的时候, L.G.亚历山大在其《朗文英语语法中》p592的例句及观点:

1. He was very late. This / That delayed us. 他来得晚,这使得我们耽搁了。

注意这里this/that 用来回指的是上文的单独事件——他来晚了。

2. I broke my leg and my sister’s house burnt down. 我的腿摔断了,我妹妹的房子烧毁了。

When did this / that happen? 这一切是啥时候的事啊?

注意这里this/that 用来回指的是上文的两件事。亚历山大明确指出,这里绝不可以使用these/ those 用来回指。

二、英语中,all this类似于一个惯用语, 其多用于对上文列举一连串事件进行总结,在语篇上起到承上启下的衔接作用。所以说本篇短文改错中的this无须改用these,相反,这样使用反而会使语言显得更加地道。

all these不像all this一样具有惯用语的性质,在《柯林斯高阶》和《汉英大词典》总共出现的带有all these30个例句中,these都毫无例外地后跟一个复数名词。所以综上,这句话不必把this改为these

【策略总结】

all this all these 在语篇中都有总结性回指(back referring)上文的功能。前者往往单独使用,不管上文提及的是一件还是若干事物和事实; 后者多回指上文具体的事物,往往后跟复数名词。使用前者往往显得语言更加地道。准确掌握其用法在实战应试特别是写作中意义重大。

 

【补充】

实际上这篇短文改错是根据2004年湖南省高考英语试卷的写作范文所改编。现随附如下,供大家参考:

 I will spend this summer holiday in the countryside. Although the city is modern and convenient, there are still some problems, such as air pollution, crowdedness and noise. In the countryside I can enjoy a comfortable and quiet life. There, the air is fresh and the water is clean. Trees are green and birds are singing. I can also go boating, fishing and swimming in the lake. What’s more, I can climb the hills. All this will be interesting and good for my health. Above all, I can learn more about nature. So I want to go to the countryside for a change. I’m looking forward to the coming of my summer holiday.
