2021年6月英语四级真题第2套 Part II Section B (2)

女士在 第3段 使用了 But there must be some problems 这样的 anticipatory concern，紧接着用 I mean 引出两个 rhetorical questions：how do you know that you won't get bad fruit 和 that the eggs won't be broken。这些 questions 并非真正 seeking information，而是在 express doubt 和 hesitation，体现她对 online shopping 的 skepticism。这种修辞手法让 conversation 更 authentic，因为它 mirrors 真实对话中人们提出 concerns 的方式，同时为 Max 提供了 address these worries 的机会，推动 dialogue 朝着 persuasion 的方向发展。

信号词 But However Yet Though Still What if How do you know Aren't you worried Don't you think

仿写： 当你想在 dialogue 中 express concerns 或 doubts 时，可以 adopt 这种 pattern：先用 transitional phrase（如 But there must be...）铺垫，再用 I mean 或 I wonder 引出 specific worries，最后以 interrogative form 呈现。Template 可以是：'But there must be [concern], I mean, how do you know [specific worry]?' 或 'I'm worried about [issue]. What if [negative scenario]?' 这样的 structure 让你的 hesitation sound natural 且给对方 space to respond。

Max 在 第4段 中 strategically repeats 'conventional shop' 这个 phrase 两次。第一次说 'the stuff you buy in a conventional shop'，第二次说 'that could happen in a conventional shop, too'。这种 repetition 并非 accidental，而是在 create parallelism 和 emphasize his point：online shopping 和 traditional shopping 在 quality 上 no different。通过 repeatedly mentioning 'conventional shop'，他在 subconsciously 建立 equivalence，让女士意识到她的 worries 也 exist in traditional shopping，从而 weaken her objections。这对 persuasion 的 effectiveness 很关键。

仿写： 当你想在 conversation 中 strengthen your argument 时，identify 一个 key term 或 phrase that represents 对方的 reference point，然后在 response 中 repeat it multiple times 但 in different contexts。Pattern 可以是：'The [key term] has [feature A]. Even in [key term], [similar issue] exists.' 例如：'Physical stores have crowds. Even in physical stores, you might get damaged goods.' 这样 maintains consistency 的同时 builds comparative logic，让 argument 更 compelling。

第4段 开头的 'Oh, come on' 是典型的 interjection，express Max's mild frustration 和 dismissive attitude towards 女士的 concerns。这个 colloquial expression 让 conversation sound natural 和 spontaneous，体现了 informal dialogue 的特点。它 serves multiple functions：softens 即将到来的 rebuttal，shows familiarity between speakers，同时 signals 他认为她的 worries 是 unfounded 或 exaggerated。第8段 的 'Oh, no' 则 expresses reluctance 和 playful refusal，避免陷入 endless debate about which supermarket is best，为 conversation 画上 humorous ending。这些 interjections make the dialogue feel authentic 而非 scripted。

信号词 Oh Well Come on Wow Really Hey Ah Um Hmm Right

仿写： 在 writing dialogue 时，strategically place interjections 在 key moments：当你想 soften criticism 时用 'Oh, come on'；express surprise 用 'Oh really' 或 'Wow'；show hesitation 用 'Well' 或 'Um'。Pattern 是：[Interjection] + [main response]。但要 moderate use，过多会 seem unnatural。例如：'Oh please, you know that's not true' 或 'Come on, let's be realistic here.' 这样 adds conversational flavor 同时 maintains clarity。

在 第6段，Max 说 'I actually found that it was cheaper for me, as I live quite far away from my local supermarket. So with the deliveries, I'm actually saving on petrol.' 第二句 omits the subject 'I' 和部分 verb structure，完整形式应是 'So with the deliveries, I'm actually saving money on petrol'。这种 ellipsis 在 conversation 中 extremely common，因为 context 已经 established，redundant elements 可以 safely omit。它 creates smoother flow，avoids repetition，让 speech sound more natural。第8段 的 'That's definitely up to you' 也 省略了 'the decision about which supermarket to choose'，因为 context clear，无需 spell out。这种 economy of language 是 spoken English 的重要特征。

仿写： When crafting dialogue，可以 strategically use ellipsis：当 subject、verb 或 object 从 context obvious 时，feel free to omit。Pattern 是先 establish full context，然后在 follow-up statements 中 drop redundant parts。例如：'I bought this yesterday. [I] Really love it.' 或 'She's coming tomorrow. [She's] Bringing her sister [with her].' 但要确保 omission 不会 cause ambiguity。这种 technique makes your dialogue sound like authentic speech rather than written prose。
