Understanding Paragraph Development (2)


有时候，作者在段落中会讲述一个故事或一件事情，告诉读者发生了什么。作者往往会按故事发生的时间顺序来叙述，并把自己觉得重要的细节告诉读者。比如下面一段：

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping (绊倒) him so he landed in the dirt (泥地). His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw the terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged (慢跑) over to him and as he crawled (爬行) around looking for his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks (蠢人). They really should be punished (惩罚).” He looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude (感激).

一开始，作者写道 ：As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. 接着作者叙述自己当时看到的情景 ：

They (the kids) ran at him... His glasses went flying... I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw the terrible sadness in his eyes. I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses...

再比如下面一段，一开始作者写道 ：The door opened and a young woman hurried in. 接下来，作者叙述了这位年轻女子进来以后所发生的一切 ：

The door opened and a young woman hurried in. Suddenly, he realized that she looked familiar, yet he could not remember when or where he had seen her before. Without speaking, she drew from her purse a package loosely unwrapped in its red paper, a bow of green ribbon with it. Presently the string of blue beads lay gleaming again before him.

在阅读叙述段落时，我们不妨问一下自己 ：“发生了什么事情？”“作者按时间顺序来叙述了吗？”“作者想告诉我们什么？”


 12.Read the following two paragraphs and answer the questions that follow each paragraph. The two paragraphs give two different accounts of the same experience.

1. This morning I could have killed my husband. While I was running around with the kids, trying to get them fed and off to school, he sat there reading the newspaper. When I finally sat down, he just kept on reading that newspaper, even though I needed to talk with him. After several attempts to get through to him, I finally barked out (大声凶狠地说), “Daryl! I have a few things I need to say!” He looked up, smiled, got another cup of coffee, and said, “What?” But as I began talking, he resumed reading the paper. Does he live in another world?


2. This morning my family enjoyed some “quality time” together. The children were all in the kitchen eating and talking with each other. After they left for school, my wife and I were able to sit and share some quiet time at the table. We chatted about various things while drinking coffee and looking at the newspaper. It really started the day out right.
