一、中英文思維差異
中文的語言邏輯會把背景、鋪墊放在前面,最重要的放在最后一句,所謂畫龍點睛;英文的語言邏輯則是開門見山,把背景信息放在后面。

a. 喜歡/喜歡 + 喜歡/不喜歡的原因;
b. 喜歡/不喜歡 + 喜歡/不喜歡到什么程度;

二、中英文表達差異
中式表達更注重宏觀和抽象,而西式表達注重細節(jié)和形象。不過其實很多烤鴨大概知道自己要說什么,但是表達的過程中總是有種力不從心,詞不達意的感覺。
下面我們再通過考生的回答與老師修改后的回答對比來看一下:

Why do so many people want to have their own car?
考生的回答:
...the public transportation only boring them to some destinations that never change, and it's more flexible, which is especially important for those old people, because they have difficulty in walking or riding bicycles.
改寫后的回答:
With their own car, people are able to take the fastest route to their destination. But if they use public transportation, like buses or the subway, they have to transfer a few lines, which can be quite troublesome, especially, for the elderly and the people who are carrying heavy stuff.
