26、句短句变长句受汉语思维习惯影响,很多考生往往会直接将脑子里的意思译成英语,而忽略句与句之间的联系,导致写出来的句子无法体现英语作为“形合语言”的特点。因此,在平时写作时,考生要注意前后句子之间是否存在联系,善于发现各个简单句之间的关联,用恰当的连接词将简单句连接起来,组成准确地道的复杂长句,增加文章的气势。【例1】【原文】Lies do harm to those who are being told lies.Lies also do harm to those who tell them.【优化】Lies not only do harm to those who are being to
