SAT写作真题范文 | “招招得分” 第【2】篇!

    　我们找到一篇典型的有许多“修辞性问题”的材料文A Carbon Tax Beats a Vacuum Ban(2016年6月亚太地区考题)

　　Wait a sec. First things first. What are the“修辞性问题”?

　　用人话说，“修辞性问题”就是“明知故问的问题”。

　　明明可以用陈述的方式直说，偏要用提问的方式说，成为一种修辞手法。

　　这就是“修辞性问题”没错了。

　　我们可以在A Carbon Tax Beats a Vacuum Ban(2016年6月亚太地区考题)这篇文章的开头几个段落里找到许多问句，这些问句在被作者提出后又被作者回答了。这些问题就是明知故问嘛。

　　Those rhetorical questions, apparently more emotional and effective than plain statements, convey the author’s intense sarcasm to the vacuum ban. The author obviously has answers to those questions and, however, deliberately asks questions, and by answering those questions, the author has a channel to deliver his strong opposition to the ban by brief yet strong answers. Meanwhile, the multiple times of using those questions throughout Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 increase the intensity of the author’s aversion to the ban. As the intensity is well delivered, through those questions, this wording technique—asking rhetorical questions—has an impact on the readers, enabling them to agree with the author.

　　厉害了，发现了么，除了黄色高亮部分，别的语句，可都是分析“修辞性问题”的固定话术呢。

　　哦，对了，最后必须告诉大家：“修辞性问题”可不就是反问句或者设问句嘛。

　　那么，突然之间，你仿(ken)佛(ding)一下子全明白了。
