用實例講解考研英語摘要的寫作要點
本文談談怎樣寫英語概要(Precis)。要寫好一篇文章的概要應考生應具備兩種基本能力。首先應具備理解原文，掌握全文中心思想的能力；其次應具有用簡練的語言將原文的中心思想表達出來的能力。一般說來，概要的篇幅為原文的1/3至1/4，因此在寫概要時務必注意語言的概括和精練。概要寫作一般按下列步驟進行：1.認真仔細地閱讀原文兩遍，理解和掌握全文的內容。
2.仔細地閱讀考題指令，明確了解考題要求，在原文上標出重點，如議論文中的論點 、論據(jù)；記敘文中的發(fā)展、高潮、結局等。
3.再一次閱讀原文，并將所需要采用的要點列出。要點的記錄應盡可能簡潔明了。
4.根據(jù)記錄的要點寫出概要的初稿，并盡可能不參照原文，除非當你需要核實某個要點。這將十分有益于用自己的語言組織內容，而不是照抄原文中的某些詞句。完成初稿后應數(shù)一數(shù)字數(shù)，但千萬不可在寫完每一句句子即數(shù)字數(shù)。這樣不僅浪費寶貴的時間，而且會攪亂寫作的思路。
5.進行一些必要的修改和調整后，謄清完稿，并在最后注明具體字數(shù)。
應考生在重讀謄清稿時，有兩點還應牢記：首先，你寫出的概要內容必須忠實于原文，或者說精確(accurate)。概要中所有的內容和信息必須來源于原文，既不可篡改原文內容也不能包括原文未涉及到的內容。其次，概要讀起來應是一完整連貫的段落。要取得這一完整連貫，就應該使用一些連接詞(link－words)，如‘but’,‘and’,‘however’,‘also’等連接要點；同樣，也可使用諸如‘since’,‘though’,‘even if ’，‘when’,‘after’,‘before’等詞。請看下面一例子：
The sentry watched a hawk that hovered overhead,looking for some unsuspecting prey to pounce upon.Then he heard the distant,muffled roar of planes,then silence.For the past week he had been told to take note of everything that happened on the hill within his range of vision,and to report anything suspicious.The hill led to an experimental factory,where new and secret weapons were tested.There was a threat of war and the factory would be invaluable to the enemy.So the approaches to it were watched day in,and day out.
He shifted his position;he felt that he had been crouching in the heather since the beginning of the time,but only a couple of hours of the day’s duty had passed.Suddenly he saw something falling from the sky like snow,only it was not snow.[He put out his hand and caught bits of that were drifting near him.They were thin strips of metal to confuse delicate instruments,so that it would not be possible to detect the landing of enemy craf.Next he heard a long,low,continuous roar from the east and saw bundles descending from the sky which looked like umbrellas opening,but which be knew to be parachutes with men hanging from them.He wanted to go at once to give the alarm,but he had to be sure that the parachutes were not his own men out on an exercise.The men were on ground now.One of them pointed in the direction of secret factory and they all began marching toward it.He had no more doubts and set off at once down the hill.He crawled slowly,sometimes on his stomach,sometimes on his side ,weaving decided that he had ample cover and started to run.But he had erred,for bullets were soon whistling past him.He drooped flat on the ground.Nobody came to search for him,so he counted up to a hundred and then began crawling again.He moved tortuously and as silently as he could to his camp at the foot of the hill.]
Describe in not more than 80 words what the sentry saw and did from the moment when the strips of metal fell from the sky until he got back to his camp.Use your own words as far as possible.Do not include anything that is not in the passage.
1.Points(Saw and Did)
1)Put out hands;caught strip metal.
2)Saw bundles.

2.Rough Draft (Linking of Points) （寫得不好的摘要）
When the sentry held out his hand to catch what was falling out of the sky ,he found that it was strips of metal.The bundles began coming down.The sentry waited until men appeared on the ground.One of them pointed and the sentry saw them march towards the factory.Crawling on his stomach and on his side,the sentry moved downhill.He began running when he came to a stream,but dropped down when he was shot at .After counting up to a hundred to himself,he began crawling silently again downhill. (95 words)
3.Fair Copy (Corrected Draft) （寫锝比較的摘要）
After catching hold of metal strips falling out of the sky,the sentry saw bundles descending and,after a time,some men appeared on the ground.One of them pointed and they all began marching towards the factory.The sentry crawled downhill on his stomach and on his side.When he came to a stream,he began running but dropped down when the men shot at him.He counted up to a hundred,then silently started crawling again towards his camp.
