現(xiàn)象說明類說明文讀寫指南

吳嘉麗

文體導讀

現(xiàn)象說明類說明文主要用于介紹一種社會或自然現(xiàn)象。典型的現(xiàn)象說明類說明文通常會先描述現(xiàn)象，然后分析造成該現(xiàn)象的原因，進而介紹該現(xiàn)象帶來的影響，最后作者發(fā)表觀點，對該現(xiàn)象進行反思，并提出解決問題的方法和建議。但部分現(xiàn)象說明類說明文只分析現(xiàn)象的成因，并未介紹該現(xiàn)象造成的影響，而有些現(xiàn)象說明類說明文則著重介紹現(xiàn)象造成的影響。

策略導航

（1）巧用彩色筆細品文章。借助彩色筆對文本的不同部分進行標注。用黃色筆標注對現(xiàn)象的介紹，用綠色筆標注現(xiàn)象的成因，用紫色筆標注現(xiàn)象的影響，用橙色筆標注解決方案和建議，然后根據標注情況，進行仿寫。

（2）利用“PAS 原則”搭建文本框架，搭建讀寫支架?！癙AS 原則”即Present thephenomenon—Analyse the phenomenon—Solve the problem。這一原則完整地概括了呈現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象、分析現(xiàn)象、解決問題的整體思維過程。但部分現(xiàn)象說明類說明文通常不會直接給出解決問題的方案，讀者需要通過批判性、創(chuàng)新性思考才能得到解決方案。在閱讀現(xiàn)象說明類說明文時，我們可以利用“PAS原則”，以輔助我們厘清文章結構和梳理基本信息，抓住文章段落的主旨大意。

A dangerous， common form of depression not talked about enough

It is well known that depression is characterizedby visible outbursts： crying a lot， feeling sad andlosing interest in what was once pleasure activity.However， another term “smiling depression”—appearing happy to others while actually sufferingdepressive symptoms has been around for some time.

It can be hard to spot people suffering smiling depression because they may seem likethey dont have a reason to be sad—they have a decent job and a wonderful family. Theysmile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short， they tend to puton a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. When itcomes to the inside， however， they often have intense feelings of worthlessness andhelplessness， sometimes even having thoughts of ending it all.

Smiling depression partly stems from people who are often reluctant to seek helpbecause of the stigma（恥辱）against mental illness. They feel ashamed of seeing apsychologist. They quietly hold their stress and sadness within， which undoubtedly createsa form of emotional paralysis（癱瘓）that keeps them stuck in unhappy situations.

Some negative consequences include overeating， feeling a sense of heaviness in thearms and legs， etc. People suffering smiling depression are often seized by anxiety， dread，or simmering sadness， which in the long run increases the risk of heart disease， strokes anddementia. They are more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleeplonger. With common forms of depression， however， peoples mood might be worse in themorning and they might feel the need for less sleep than usual.

So how can they break this circle？ Much attention should be paid to cope with it. Astarting point is to admit this condition. Only when they stop ignoring their problems canthey start making an actual difference. Then they can find purposes by taking the attention?away from themselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that their lives matter isfinally what gives them purposes and meaning—and this can make a significant differenceto their mental health and well?being. Furthermore， they should turn to family members，friends and even psychologists for help.

Our quiet stress is harmful to our mental health. Expressing our true feeling is farhealthier than smiling sweetly while we are feeling quietly stressed.

1. They quietly hold their stress and sadness within， which undoubtedly creates a formof emotional paralysis that keeps them stuck in unhappy situations. 他們靜靜地把壓力和悲傷藏在心中，這毋庸置疑會造成一種情感麻木，讓他們在不開心的處境中無法自拔。

本句包含了非限制性定語從句和限制性定語從句，which引導的是一個非限制性定語從句，用來指代主句They quietly hold their stress and sadness within。此外，后面的that引導的是一個限制性定語從句，用來修飾前面的名詞emotional paralysis。

2. People suffering smiling depression are often seized by anxiety， dread， orsimmering sadness， which in the long run increases the risk of heart disease， strokes anddementia. 患有微笑抑郁癥的人總會感到焦慮、恐懼或者被一種即將爆發(fā)的悲傷所籠罩，從長遠來看，這會增加患心臟疾病、中風和癡呆的風險。
