PTE写作SWT题型如何总结主旨

今天羊驼给各位正在备考PTE考试的同学们，带来的是老师讲解的PTE写作SWT题型的例题：American English，美式英语，这篇是PTE写作SWT当中我个人认为最简单的题目，为什么说简单呢？整体而言，它的思路非常清晰。往往每一段话的首尾句是很重要的，但这篇文章只有一段话，也非常的清楚。然后又是首尾段交相呼应，也就意味着这一篇你甚至完全不需要看懂到底讲的是什么，你只用相关的一些技巧，把它们套用在一起就可以了。

一、PTE写作SWT例题的原文：

American English is, without doubt, the most influential and powerful variety of English in the world today. There are many reasons for this. First, the United States is, at present, the most powerful nation on earth and such power always brings with it influence. Indeed, the distinction between a dialect and a language has frequently been made by reference to power. As has been said, a language is a dialect with an army. Second, America’s political influence is extended through American popular culture, in particular through the international reach of American films (movies, of course) and music. As Kahuna has pointed out, the internationally dominant position of a culture results in a forceful expansion of its language… the expansion of language contributes… to the prestige of the culture behind it. Third, the international prominence of American English is closely associated with the extraordinarily quick development of communications technology. Microsoft is owned by an American, Bill Gates. This means a computer’s default setting for language is American English, although of course this can be changed to suit one’s own circumstances. In short, the increased influence of American English is caused by political power and the resultant diffusion of American culture and media, technological advance, and the rapid development of communications technology.

二、PTE写作SWT例题的答案：

American English is the most influential and powerful variety of English in the world today, because the United States is, at present, the most powerful nation on earth and such power always brings with it influence, and America's political influence is extended through American popular culture, and the international prominence of American English is closely associated with the extraordinarily quick development of communications technology. (64 words)

三、PTE写作SWT例题的翻译：

毫无疑问，美式英语是当今世界上最具影响力和影响力的英语变体。

American English is, without doubt, the most influential and powerful variety of English in the world today. 

这有很多原因。 

There are many reasons for this. 

首先，美国目前是世界上最强大的国家，这种力量总是带来影响。 

First, the United States is, at present, the most powerful nation on earth and such power always brings with it influence. 

事实上，一种方言和一种语言之间的区别经常是根据权力来区分的。 

Indeed, the distinction between a dialect and a language has frequently been made by reference to power. 

正如曾经说过的，语言是有军队的方言。 

As has been said, a language is a dialect with an army. 

其次，美国的政治影响力是通过美国流行文化，特别是通过美国电影(当然是电影)和音乐的国际影响力来扩展的。

 Second, America’s political influence is extended through American popular culture, in particular through the international reach of American films (movies, of course) and music. 

正如Kahuna所指出的那样，一种文化的国际主导地位导致其语言的有力扩张，语言的扩张有助于其背后文化的声望。 

As Kahuna has pointed out, the internationally dominant position of a culture results in a forceful expansion of its language… the expansion of language contributes… to the prestige of the culture behind it. 

第三，美国英语在国际上的突出地位与通信技术的飞速发展密切相关。 

Third, the international prominence of American English is closely associated with the extraordinarily quick development of communications technology. 

微软的老板是美国人比尔·盖茨。 

Microsoft is owned by an American, Bill Gates. 

这意味着电脑的默认语言设置是美式英语，当然也可以根据自己的情况进行修改。 

This means a computer’s default setting for language is American English, although of course this can be changed to suit one’s own circumstances. 

简而言之，美国英语影响力的增强是由政治权力以及由此产生的美国文化和媒体的扩散、技术进步和通信技术的迅速发展造成的。 

In short, the increased influence of American English is caused by political power and the resultant diffusion of American culture and media, technological advance, and the rapid development of communications technology.

四、PTE写作SWT例题的解析：

Most、Without这种插入的成分可以直接删除，因为它肯定是不在关键词的范围之内的，the most fluential，最具有影响力，以及powerful right of English，最具有力量的这种英语，In the world today. 也就是说，其实有很多种英文，包括印度英语，包括非洲也有很多说英语的国家，但是美式英语是最为重要的。And there several reason and many reasons for this, 有很多种原因，第一个原因是什么，第二个原因，然后第三个原因，你把这三个原因抓到就可以了，那么这中间的黑色字体的部分，就是对于一二三种原因的解释。也就是说美国英语，重要性主要来自于什么呢？来自政治，来自于文化，来自于媒介，来自于科技。以及整个交流技术的两个进步。总而言之，在这一篇文章当中，你就用and来连接，然后把首句、尾句以及当中的一二三个原因说出来，这道题你就做出来了。
