雅思写作中repetition的使用|| 重复用词也能使文章连贯的秘密在于？

不管在大作文还是小作文中，有效段落的一个重要特征是统一性（unity）。一个统一的段落从头到尾都坚持一个主题，每个句子都对该段的中心目的和主旨有所贡献。但是，在一个强有力的段落不仅仅是一些松散的句子的集合。这些句子需要有明确的联系，以便读者or考官能够跟上，能领悟到句子中的一个具体信息如何过渡到下一个具体信息。因此，一个段落中有明确联系的句子被认为是有凝聚力的。上篇文章中，我们讲到了如何利用简单的代词提高文章的连贯性，但有些情况下，当使用代词时，有时代词的指代对象并不总是能表述的非常清楚。这个时候，通过重复一个关键的名词或它同义词就可以达到清晰表意的目的。在雅思写作中，不管是大作文还是小作文自我重复也是一种体现文章连贯性的重要手段手段。

热身测试

让我们先来做一个小测试热身一下在下面的文本中，下划线处填入it或者English English has almost become an international language. Except for Chinese, more people speak ---than any other language. Spanish is the official language of more countries in the world, but more countries have ---as their official or unofficial second language. More than 70% of the world's mail is written in ---. ---is the primary language on the Internet. ?答案： English has almost become an international language. Except for Chinese, more people speak it (clear reference; retain) than any other language. Spanish is the official language of more countries in the world, but more countries have English (it is replaced with a key noun) as their official or unofficial second language. More than 70% of the world's mail is written in English (it is replaced with a key noun). It (clear reference; retain) is the primary language on the Internet. 如果在做这个测试的时候你有选错答案，或者做题过程中感到了困惑，请接着往下看吧！

什么时候使用重复？

当代词无谓的重复，造成表意不清或单调时。有时，即使指代明确，也喜欢重复一个比较重要，需要我们在文中强调的名词。在下面的这段文本中，很明显是指关键名词gold，但如果在整个文本中使用代词，风格就会变得很单调。

?比如这个?

Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics. First of all, it has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion. Therefore, it is suitable for jewellery, coins and ornamental purposes. It never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever. For example, a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was minted 23 centuries ago. Another characteristic of it is its usefulness to industry and science. For many years, it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications, such as photography and dentistry. Its most recent use is in astronauts’ suits. Astronauts wear heat shields made from it for protection when they go outside spaceships in space. In conclusion, it is treasured not only for its beauty but also its utility. 在这段内容中，虽然可以根据语义推断出所有的it全部指代的是黄金，但读起来会觉得单调乏味，因此，我们可以将部分It换成gold，如下：【总】Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics. 【分1】First of all, gold has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion. Therefore, it is suitable for jewellery, coins and ornamental purposes. Gold never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever. For example, a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was made 23 centuries ago. 【分2】Another important characteristic ofgold is its usefulness to industry and science. For many years, it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications. The most recent use of gold is in astronauts’ suits. Astronauts wear gold-plated shields when they go outside spaceships in space. 【总】In conclusion, gold is treasured not only for its beauty but also its utility. 那么我们要把哪些it替换成gold呢？通读全部内容后，我们来划分一下段落结构，总分总结构，主要介绍了黄金的两个特征，因此在每引入一个特征的时候我们通常会直接重复gold；在结尾总结的时候也直接使用了原词，以起强调作用，同时也可以引起读者的注意，加强读者印象。如何能再使用重复的基础上，让文章更加流畅自然？

我们除了使用相同的词进行重复，也可以使用代词+重复词的同义词 In the two main studies, no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion. 只使用代词：In the two main studies, no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion. It could be due to several reasons. 这句话中的it无法说明清楚接下来要交代的原因是什么 只使用重复：In the two main studies, no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion. No dramatic change could be due to several reasons. 虽然使用重复说明清楚了指代事物，但读起来会觉得句子有些啰嗦 使用代词+重复词的同义词：In the two main studies, no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion. This finding could be due to several reasons. 我们把No dramatic change 替换为this finding 既说明清楚了内容所指，同时让前一句话更自然地过渡到下一句话。
