结尾段

　　我们知道文章的开头很重要，因为好的开头可以吸引读者、抓住读者的注意力。同样，文章的结尾也很重要，好的结尾会使读者对全文的中心思想留下深刻的印象，可以增添文章的效果和说服力，让人深思，回味无穷。确切地说，结尾的作用就是概括全文内容，进一步强调或肯定文章的中心思想，使读者加深印象；有时也用于展望未来，提出今后方向或令人深思的问题给读者留下回味和思考的余地。

　　但是，如何才能写好英文短文的结尾呢? 下面就介绍几种写结尾段最常用的方法：

　　1.重复中心思想: 回到文章开头阐明的中心思想或主题句上，达到再次肯定和强调的效果。

　　(例1)A sense of humor is really one of the keys to happiness. It gives zest to life to make it worth living.

　　(例2)With all these benefits, it is no wonder that sports and games have now become more popular with people than ever.

　　2.作出结论: 文章最后用几句话概括全文内容，并进一步肯定文章的中心思想或作者的观点。

　　(例1)In conclusion, a good teacher-student relationship can be mutual beneficial. The students gain knowledge eagerly and enjoyably, and the teacher gains satisfaction from his job.

　　(例2)On the whole there are more advantages than disadvantages in the use of TV. Yet different people may have different attitude toward TV. But we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. Its value to people and society depends on how we look at it.

　　3.应用引语: 用格言、谚语或习语总结全文，既言简意赅又有更强的说服力。

　　(例1)If you have anything to do, try to do it yourself, for that is the safest way to

　　permanent success. Remember the famous saying. "God helps those who help themselves."

　　(例2)If we stick to studies day after day, there is nothing that can"t be achieved. As an old saying goes: "Constant dropping of water wears away a stone."

　　4.用反问结尾: 虽然形式是问句，但意义却是肯定的，具有明显的强调作用，引起读者思考。

　　(例1)Therefore, listening skills must be consciously improved. Since it is such an important means of learning and communication, why should we not develop this ability as far as possible?

　　(例2)So，what can we benefit from wealth if we do not have health?

　　5.提出展望或期望: 表示对将来的展望或期待读者投入行动。

　　(例1)I am sure that Chinese will become one of the most important languages in the world in the next century. As China will open further to the outside world the language is sure to be spread world widely.

　　(例2) If everyone has developed good manners, people will form a more harmonious relation. If everyone behaves considerately towards others and social ethics people will live in a better world. With the general mood of society improved, there will be a progress of civilization.

　　以上介绍了几种写结尾段最常用的方法，但到底选择何种方法结尾还得根据文体来决定。平铺直叙的记叙文，往往在故事或事实情节讲完时文章也就自然结束了，而说理性和逻辑性较强的说明文和议论文都应有一个正式的结尾。希望以上介绍的几种方法能对大家写好结尾有所帮助。
