这道线图题整体难度不是很大,描述了从2010到2017年游览加勒比海岛的游客数量的变化,属于比较常规的题。
关于分段,按照常规思路,大部分同学们可能会按照一条线分为一段来写,因为动态图分段原则是按照线的趋势来分段,三条线整体趋势都是上升的;但其实很多同学都忽略了一点,也就是这道题独特的地方,就是最上面的线是表示总数的,数量是下面两条线的总和。所以分段可以是下面两条线对比着一起写。
因此每段的整体思路是这样的:total线这条线数量显著上升,从1到3.5,除了2015-2016平稳了一年。下面两条线都呈现上升趋势,且分别从0.7到1.5,0.3到2;2013年之前,上面线明显高于下面线;之后两条线的差距逐渐缩短,上面线在1.5保持不变,稍有下降后,再次上升;下面线急剧上升,在2017年高于另一条线。
首段改写按照常规改法即可,The line graph illustrates the total number of visitors to an island in Caribbean, divided into two types: visitors staying on cruise ships and those on island.
将主体段思路转为英文表达:The 7-year period witnessed a remarkable overall growth (1 million to 3.5 million visitors), not significantly interrupted by the stagnant year of 2016(despite a plateau between 2015 and 2016). Specifically, visitors staying on island increased from 0.7 million to 1.5 million, and the other from 0.3 to 2 million.
During the first four years, visitors staying on the island were the obvious higher percentage, and accordingly, a lower percentage of visitors chose to stay on cruise ships. The subsequent years until 2016 saw the gap narrowing gradually, as the number of landed visitors stagnated/remained stable at 1.5 million for three years and started to/before a slip, and that of cruising visitors had a continuing surge. As a surge continued during the years after, cruising visitors accounted for the larger portion, although the number of landed visitors rose again.
这篇例文从评分标准的词汇一项来说,得分比较高,很多单词表达可替换常用常规表达,如:a remarkable overall growth中,remarkable可替换为noticeable, obvious, apparent, marked。stagnant 可替换为stable, steady, still, unchanged。subsequent可替换为following。landed visitors, cruising visitors 主语多样化。stagnate可替换为动词词组remain stable。a continuing surge中account for可替换为take up, occupy, constitute, provide等
从语法一项来说,也做的很好,首先主语多样性,
①时间做主语:The 7-year period witnessed a remarkable overall growth
②人做主语: visitors staying on island increased from 0.7 million to 1.5 million
③量做主语:the number of landed visitors remained stable /stagnated at 1.5 million for three years
④趋势做主语: a surge continued during the years after
其次,非谓做状语
The 7-year period witnessed a remarkable overall growth (1 million to 3.5 million visitors), not significantly interrupted by the stagnant year of 2016
此句可替换成: despite +n /although +句子形式
然后,并列结构省略动词
visitors staying on island increased from 0.7 million to 1.5 million, and the other from 0.3 to 2 million.
两者间比较: the +比较级+n
visitors staying on the island were the obvious higher percentage
还用到了See +宾语+补语
The subsequent years until 2016 saw the gap narrowing 以及一些as 状语从句 ; and 或者 before /after 结构表示连续变化
The subsequent years until 2016 saw the gap narrowing gradually, as the number of landed visitors remained stable /stagnated at 1.5 million for three years and started to/before a slip
同学们今后在练习或考试时,遇到线图题不要急于分段,细致分析每条线表示什么含义之后再做决定;将每段思路想清楚后再落笔,平时练习过程中表达都要掌握的非常熟练,考试时才能得心应手,保证句式多样性,词汇准确性,逻辑严谨性。
