SAT备考-短篇议论文段落阅读解析

议论文是提出主观的论点，然后由一系列论据去支持这个主观观点。其实，这是议论文的最基本要求。一个优秀的议论文不仅会让读者认同作者的主观论点，还要让读者承认作者的论据。最好，议论文的结尾还要对论点论据做进一步的延伸，得出一个让人钦佩的结论。这个结论既要呼应作者在文章开头的主观观点，还得接续议论文的论据的思维逻辑。

下面，我们就选择一个OG上的短文。一方面是研讨议论文的结构、思维和逻辑；同时，我们也要研讨该文的句子逻辑和结构。

 

例文：

That nineteenth-century French novelist Honore de Balzac could be financially wise in his fiction while losing all his money in life was an irony duplicated in other matters. For instance, the very women who had been drawn to him by the penetrating intuition of the female heart that he showed in his novels were appalled to discover how intensive and awkward the real man could be. It seems the true source of creation for Balzac was not sensitivity but imagination. Balzac’s fiction originally sprang from an intuition he first discovered as a wretched little school boy locked in a dark closet of his boarding school: life is a prison, and only imagination can open its doors.

这是议论文的写作手法。

首先，这篇文章由明确的主观观点：”That nineteenth-century French novelist Honore de Balzac could be financially wise in his fiction while losing all his money in life was an irony duplicated in other matters.”译为“巴尔扎克在小说中的理财智慧与在生活中输钱的这种讽刺对比反映在很多方面。”这是一句主题句，是本段文字要论述的核心。所以，我们说这是议论文文体。

 

写作结构：

第一句是主题句：说明巴尔扎克在小说中聪明而在现实生活中很蠢的讽刺是普遍的。接下来就是举例：For instance, the very women who had been drawn to him by the penetrating intuition of the female heart that he showed in his novels were appalled to discover how intensive and awkward the real man could be.译为：“举例为证：那些因他小时所展示的对女性的磁性般的理解而被他吸引的女人对他的迟钝和笨拙而惊诧。”推理猜测：It seems the true source of creation for Balzac was not sensitivity but imagination.“可能巴尔扎克的创造性来源不是对事物的敏感而是想象。”最后是总结：Balzac’s fiction originally sprang from an intuition he first discovered as a wretched little school boy locked in a dark closet of his boarding school: life is a prison, and only imagination can open its doors.“巴尔扎克的小说最初的源泉来自他躲在寄宿学校黑暗衣橱中的感觉：生活就是一个监狱，唯有想象能打开它的门。”

 

写作技术：

这个议论文片段第一句采用比对逻辑引人入胜。说一个众所周知的事实“The nineteenth-century French novelist Honore de Balzac could be financially wise in his fiction while losing all his money in life.”是在其他方面也一样。这不仅是主题句，也预示接下来文章要讲诉other matters去印证作者的观点。句子“It seems the true source of creation for Balzac was not sensitivity but imagination.”是推理和提出假设，并预示接下来马上会给出假设理由。而作为重要的是英文sensitivity和imagination这两个词的真正含义。Sensitivity是说人对外部的观察的感受能力；imagination只是从脑子中想象的，可以没有任何客观的来源
