写作艺术：一篇充满艺术色彩的关于新冠肺炎疫情作文指导与解读
题记——孙三五
COVID-19
昨天刚被
WHO<
/p>
定义为
pandemic
，全球性流行病
。程
度是最高级的了。我读了
WHO
的
呼吁信后，突然被莫名感动，非常
简单却充满号召力的语言，
我
决心拿起笔，
借用其中的一些好的表达
来重新写一篇值得考生去
背诵的优秀的文章。
写到最后，
感觉结尾很
是无力，
突然想到新闻发言人的慷慨陈词，
于是最后艺术性
的句子马
上浮现在我的脑海里。
最近
，
我一直渴望让自己的作文充满艺术魅力，
并为之去苦苦探
索。希望此文能给读者带来一些艺术般的享受。
< br>文章最后附上
WHO
的原文，建议多读几遍。
思路
1
写新冠病毒的爆发和影响
2
写中国成功的经验
3
写其他国家应该采取什么措施和最后总结
How can we treat the
pandemic COVID-19
第一段
This spring
saw
the outbreak of the
pandemic
COVID-19.
With the
spread of
the infectious
disease
reaching a boiling
point
,
it follows
that
some countries are
struggling with a lack of capacity, some
countries are struggling with a lack of
resources and some countries
are
struggling with a lack of
resolve
. Undoubtedly, the
pandemic
has
cast a cloud
on
the world and
rung the
bell loud and clear
.
笔记：
本段的写作手法是：主题句尽可能简洁，并且用到了
拟人（
saw
）、重复或排比（
s
ome countries
），隐喻（
boiling
point,
cloud, ring the bell
）
。在句子的运用上，极力达到长短句搭配，有
节奏感。思维逻辑上：主题句写疾病爆发，
支撑句写结果。说明
的是，中间这个重复本来是联合国的
WHO
的原句，我读后突然
发现这样的重复也是很有艺术效果的，请细
品。
the outbreak of the
pandemic
全球流行病的爆发
With the spread of
随着
< br>…
的传播
reach a
boiling point
达到沸点
it follows
that…
结果是
resolve
决定
cast a cloud
on
罩上了一片阴霾
ring
the bell loud and
clear
明显敲响了警钟
第二段
Luckily, it’s
China that becomes
the
silver lining
and
sheds new
light on
the virus
with expertise
to
build up people’s confidence
to
defeat it. For one thing,
doctors and nurses, despite the lack of
necessary equipment and
the
sword of Damocles hanging over their
head
, have become
the backbone of
the battle,
voluntarily
working
on the
front lines
around the
clock
. Indeed, they deserve
all the admiration and love! For
another, the whole Chinese would
rather
obediently
stay at home
isolated
than go out
in case of
human-to-human
transmission or droplet transmission
.
Those
who were infected or
in contact with
the infected
shall
be
quarantined
and
subjected to
medical observation
.
It's widely
believed
that
with joint efforts
China’s quick recovery is
on
the
horizon
.
笔记
：本段的展开思维是：主题句写
中国给世界带来了希望
等，支撑句从两个方面写，先说医护人员的贡献，再写普通百姓<
/p>
的隔离。
同样本段用到了很多修辞手法，
例如比喻
（
silver
lining
，
on
the
front
lines
）、习语比喻
（达摩克里斯之剑，比喻病毒的危
险）。至于句型：
would
rather
do…than…;
首句强调句；末句
It
形式主语）。同
时，
luckily,
indeed
包括下文的
admittedly,
上文的
undoubtedly
都是有意为之，以
加强语气。
the silver
lining
一线希望
shed
new light on
为
…
做出新
的解释
with
expertise
用专业知识
build up people’s
confidence
树立人们的信心
the sword of Damocles hanging over
their
head
在他们头上的达
摩克利斯之剑
the backbone
of
中坚力量
on the
front lines
在前线
around the
clock
全天候
obediently
顺从地
isolated
与外界隔离的（这里作状语）
in
case
of
human-to-
human
transmission
or
droplet
/?dr?
pl
?
t/
transmission
以防人与人之间的传播或飞沫传播
in
contact with
接触
be
quarantined /?kw?
r
?nti?n/
被隔离
be subjected
to
服从
medical
observation
医学观察
It's widely believed
that
人们普遍认为
on the
horizon
即将出现
第三段
So we call for other countries to
take urgent and aggressive
action
.
First, attitude
counts. The challenge for many countries who are
now
dealing
with
large
clusters
or
community
transmission
is
not
whether
they
can do
the
same
–
it’s
whether
they
will. Second,
if
countries
detect
,
test,
treat,
isolate,
trace
,
and
mobilize
their
people
in the response,
those with
a handful of
cases can prevent those cases
becoming
clusters,
and
those
clusters
becoming
community
transmission.
Last, great importance should be attached to
sanitation
,
such
as
wearing
masks
when
in
the
open
air,
washing
hands
frequently,
and
protecting
wild
animals
instead
of
having
them
for
food.
笔记：本段的部分语句是直接用了联合国
WHO
的。展开很
简单，即
:
主题句说措施，下面从三个方面展开。
those
clusters
becoming
community
transmission
是
those
clusters
can
prevent
the
cases
becoming
community
transmission
的省略形式，这种省略比
较难做到的。
后面的
when in the open
air
也是省略结构。
take
urgent and aggressive
action
采取紧急和积极的行动
large
clusters
大型群体
community
transmission
社区传播
detect
发现
trace
追踪
mobilize
动员
a handful of
一些
sanitation
卫生
wearing masks
戴口罩
第四段
Admittedly, these measures are
taking a heavy toll on
societies and
economies, just as they
did in China. But all countries must
strike a
fine
balance
between
protecting
health,
minimizing
economic
and
social
disruption
,
and
respecting
human
rights.
This
is
not
just
a
public health crisis, it is a crisis
that will touch every sector
–
Isn’t it
an
irony
if
we
are
just
standers-by
shouting
empty
slogans
or
looking for a scapegoat
in the face of
the
deadly virus
?
笔记：本段前面同样借用了联合国
的
WHO
的句子，稍有修
改。最后一句
我用了反义疑问句。英语写作中以退为进是常见的
写作方式，基本格式就是：
Admittedly…but…
诚然
…
但是
…
最后一句用<
/p>
scapegoat
也是我看到美国媒体用到的一个标题，
说特朗普又要找替罪羊了
（自然是中国）
，<
/p>
这个是我突然想到的，
也可以说是灵感吧？
shout
empty
slogans
< br>是江苏高考
2013
年漫画
作文
中用过的。我特别喜欢用反义疑问句结尾，这样的修辞手法
才能把我的此处得一腔怒火表
达得淋漓尽致。
take a heavy toll on
使
…
损失惨重
strike
a fine balance
保持良好的平衡
minimize economic and social disruption
尽量减少经济和社会
动荡
irony
讽刺
standers-by
旁观者
shout empty
slogans
喊空口号
look
for a scapegoat
寻找替罪羊（就是帅锅）
in the face of
面对
deadly virus
致命病毒
全文翻译
今年春天爆发了大流行性
COVID-19
。
随着这一传染病的传播
达到沸点，随之而来的是一些国家
因缺乏能力而苦于应付。一些
国家因缺乏资源而捉襟见肘。一些国家因缺乏决心而备受煎
熬。
毫无疑问，这场流行病给世界蒙上了一层阴影，敲响了响亮而清
晰的警钟。
幸运的是，中国成为了全世界的一线希望，用
极其专业的知
识为病毒提供了新的线索，
以建立人们战胜病毒的
信心。
一方面，
医生和护士尽管缺乏必要的装备，
并且头上悬着达摩克利斯之剑，
却成了战斗的中坚力量，他们自愿
24
小时在前线工作。的确，他
们值得所有的钦佩
和爱！另一方面，整个中国人宁愿乖乖地呆在
家里与世隔绝，也不愿出门，以防人与人之
间传播或飞沫传播。
对染疫人和接触染疫人的人必须隔离，接受医学观察。人们普遍
认为，在各方共同努力下，中国的快速复苏即将到来。
因此，我们呼吁其他国家采取紧急和积极的行动。首先，态
度很重要。对于
现在正在处理大型集群或社区传播问题的许多国
家来说，
问题不
在于他们能否做到这一点，
而在于是否愿意去做。
第二，如果他
们通过发现、检测、治疗、隔离、追踪并动员其人
民参与应对，那么那些有少数病例的国
家可以防止这些病例成为
群体，而这些群体也不会形成群体传播。最后，要高度重视卫生
工作，如在户外戴口罩，勤洗手，保护野生动物而不是以它们为
食材。
诚然，这些措施正像在中国那样，给社会和经济带来沉
重的
损失。但所有国家都必须在保护健康、最大限度地减少经济和社
会破坏以及尊重人权之间取得良好的平衡。这不仅仅是一场公共
卫生危机，而是一场
将触及每个部门的危机——如果我们只是站
在一边喊着空洞的口号，或者在致命的病毒面
前寻找替罪羊，这
难道不是一种讽刺吗？
附
WHO
原文：
WHO
总干事：新冠疫情为“全球大流行”
Good
afternoon.
In the past two weeks, the
number of cases of COVID-19
outside
China
has
increased
13-fold,
and
the
number
of
affected
countries has tripled.
There
are
now
more
than
118,000
cases
in
114
countries,
and
4,291 people have lost their lives.
Thousands more are fighting
for their lives in hospitals.
In the
days and weeks ahead, we expect to see the number
of cases, the number of deaths, and the
number of affected
countries climb even
higher.
WHO has been assessing this
outbreak around the clock and
we are
deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of
spread
and severity, and by the
alarming levels of inaction.
We
have
therefore
made
the
assessment
that
COVID-19
can
be
characterized as a pandemic.
Pandemic
is
not
a
word
to use
lightly
or
carelessly. It
is
a word
that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or
unjustified acceptance that the fight
is over, leading to
unnecessary
suffering and death.
Describing the
situation as a pandemic does not change
WHO’s
assessment
of
the
threat
posed
by
this
virus.
It
doesn’t
