答案及解析:

四、描写文
描写是一种重要的写作手段,我们通过描写来写人、写景或写物,将作者或叙述者所听到、看到,甚至心理所感传递出来,让读者也有身临其境的感觉。描写文与记叙文之间存在异同,其相同之处在于描写文也可涉及事件、人物、时间和地点等因素;而它们的差异在于,描写文属于静态描写,记叙文则为动态的叙述。描写文作为一种文体虽然容易识别,但很少独立存在,通常穿插在记叙文、议论文、说明文等形式之中。
例文4)
这篇描写文介绍了荷兰最大的城市——阿姆斯特丹,它以独具魅力的自然人文景观、多姿多彩的娱乐生活以及举世闻名的艺术成就吸引了世界各地的游客。
When the sun is up in Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank Museum, or take a water taxi.
But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke.
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they’re all within a short cab ride of each other.
For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And there is the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.
But as evening descends on Dam Square so do the party-seekers. Hip pop or funk music begins blaring from Club Paradiso and Club Melkweg. These are two of the most popular clubs in Europe. So if you come,be ready to dance. The clubs don’t shut down until 4 am.
And while you are there,check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don’t worry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions.
And you’ll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles. They rent for US $17 to $20 for a whole day.
Amsterdam also has a good canal system. From anywhere between US $2 and $9.50,you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise the “Venice of the North”.
You can take in the picturesque canal house architecture: The rows of neat,narrow four-story dwellings of brownstone with large windows are well worth seeing. Many of them are several centuries old.
You might also want to jump out of the canal bus at the Museum Quarter and start walking. Masterpieces by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt, Bruegel, Van Gogh and others are on display at the Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House and others.
The city has an appreciation of its historic past. One place to visit is the Anne Frank House in Nine Streets. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Anne’s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.
