我们将一个句子的形容词或者动词名词化后,都是为是将其作为一个动作的原因或后果的状态来强调,并且使表达更客观化。因此,SAT写作中有几个地方是最容易需要用名词化的:文章主题句、段落开头句、例子引导句即概况句。这些地方的描述都是需要客观化的表达,如前的例7Important of all,sports can enlighten people on the importance of health maintenance and life enjoyment.则是一篇讲体育的作用的文章的分段段首句。
例子的引导句,不是指take …for example..,而是指有时候我们需要对例子本身所体现出来的理论性的原则进行概述,因此是需要表达客观的。
例8. Only because Louis Pasteur insisted in his own observation and judgment,people had not waited for another couples or dozens of years before they could realize that the bacteria come from propagation rather than spontaneous generation.ÀWere it not for Louis Pasteur’s insistence in his own observation and judgment,….
例9. People can overcome the inherent shortcoming if they havefaith and practice insistently. àAttic faith and insistent practice can overcome the inherentshortcoming.例9的句子也体现了名词化后转换为主语的另一个好处,把这种与我们所要表达意义无关的people,someone等词省掉了,从而使主体更简洁更鲜明。
SAT写作中除了上述表达理论性观点之外的需要使用名词化最多的地方,就是强调一件事情的起因和结果。简单说来,如果一个大的事件包含三个动作,A、B、C。而这个个动作,我们要强调的是B的这个动作的转换作用。而A和C都是其前因后果,那么A和C的部分我们就可以对其进行名词化。而这个B的部分是不需要名词化的,正如SAG-OG中所举的例子一样。因为这个动词是为了主动表达主语的能动性的,以及它在这件事情中所起的关键性作用,并且是动态变化的作用的。如果除了文章的中心论点分论点之外的论证部分则根据其具体论证方法不同而异。因SAT写作中心段的两种不同论证方法,其使用名词化的方式也有所不同英语中常常有将动词变成名词结构的习惯表达法,原本是一个动词,却习惯用名词来表达,尤其是正式的笔头英语中更是如此。中学常见的有如下结构:
