第八單元 推展段落方法之一——事實(shí)與數(shù)據(jù)法

在第四單元，我們?cè)岬酵普苟温涞姆椒ㄓ卸喾N。從這一單元開(kāi)始，我們將逐個(gè)介紹這些方法。

8．1事實(shí)與數(shù)據(jù)法

事實(shí)（a fact）是可以客觀證實(shí)的事情。例如：“The sunrises in the east．”是個(gè)事實(shí)?！癘il and water do not mix．”也是個(gè)事實(shí)。兩者都可以通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)證明是真實(shí)的。但是“Eating carrots improves eyesight．”也許是真實(shí)也許是不真實(shí)的。這不是個(gè)事實(shí)，是一種看法（opinion）。數(shù)據(jù)（a statistic）是一個(gè)數(shù)字事實(shí)（a numeral fact），用于給某一主題提供有意義的信息。例如：

There are twenty－five students in the class．”是一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)。

事實(shí)1：walks with its ribs and smells with its tongue

事實(shí)2：swallows its food whole

8．4關(guān)于如何寫(xiě)事實(shí)與數(shù)據(jù)段落的建議

1）不要把事實(shí)與看法混為一談

事實(shí)是真實(shí)的，因?yàn)樗鼈円驯蛔C據(jù)證實(shí)。然而看法只是人們的主觀想法，不一定真實(shí)。因此，記住用事實(shí)而不是用看法支持你的觀點(diǎn)。

2）不要使用不相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)

如果你為了增加觀點(diǎn)的可信度而使用不相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)，即使這些數(shù)據(jù)是真實(shí)的，也會(huì)引起誤解。
