Not Such a Good Deal
捡到便宜?
提示:
请仔细观察以下三幅连环图片的内容,并想象第四幅图片可能的发展,写出一个涵盖连环图片内容并有完整结局的故事。
1. 看图作文在于描述图片的内容,也就是图中人物(包括脸部表情、情绪、穿着、人物互动等)、时间、地点和事件等信息的细节串连起来描写或叙述,一般会以下列两种方式来呈现:
*描述文(description)→根据提示或自己为图中的主角命名,以第三人称的观点来描述或解读图片的内容。
*叙述文(narration)→笔者本身融入图中其中一个角色,用第一人称的观点来叙述故事情节。
2. 不管采取描述文或叙述文,都记得运用想象力和逻辑思考先构思出一个合理的剧情,亦即重点分明,有开头、发展、结尾,以求故事情节前后连贯。
3. 善用转折语来串连每张图之间的关系或发展,方能写出流畅的看图说故事,而非天马行空的跳跃式描述或叙述。再者,随着故事发展,可适度加入图中人物的情绪变化,让文章内容更丰富、更具可看性。
构思方向
检视图片后,以描述文来解读图片内容,构思出以下剧情:
Betty逛夜市时看见一个卖包包的路边摊,摊贩手上的蓝色包包很漂亮,而且才 990 元→ Betty 开始跟老板杀价,最后以 800元成交→ Betty 提着新包包去逛精品店,结果看到店里有一款一模一样的蓝色手提包,竟然只要 600 元,Betty 整个人都呆掉了。
故事结尾则以 Betty 去夜市找摊贩算账,却发现他因为贩卖仿冒品而被警察抓走了。

范文:
Like many women, Betty loves to collect beautiful bags. She can't help buying gorgeous handbags whenever she sees them. Two months ago, while Betty was strolling around a night market, she caught sight of a stall full of lovely brand-name bags, especially the blue one in the vendor's hand. She instantly fell in love with its design. Even better, it only cost NT$990. Betty bargained with the vendor for a discount and ended up paying NT$800 for it.
The next evening, Betty went shopping with her new bag. At a bag boutique, she saw the same bag as she bought at the night market. Much to her surprise, it was NT$200 cheaper. Feeling angry and cheated, she went back to find the vendor, only to discover he was gone. Another vendor told Betty the man had been arrested by the police for selling fake merchandise. On hearing this, Betty was stunned. Since then, she hasn't bought any bags at night markets.
和许多女性一样,贝蒂很喜欢收集漂亮的包包。每当她看到好看的手提包,总会忍不住买下来。2个月前,贝蒂逛夜市时看到一个摊子,上头摆满了有牌子的好看包包,而摊贩手上拿的那个蓝色包更是漂亮。她立刻爱上了那个蓝色包包的设计。更棒的是,它只卖 990 元。贝蒂跟摊贩杀价,结果以 800元成交。
隔天晚上,贝蒂带着她的新包包出门购物。她在一间卖包包的精品店看到跟她在夜市买的一模一样的手提包。令她大为吃惊的是,它还便宜了 200 元。她很生气,觉得自己上当了,就回去找摊贩算账,却发现他已经不在了。另一名摊贩告诉贝蒂,那名男子因为贩卖仿冒品遭到警方逮捕。贝蒂一听到这个消息整个人都呆了。从那之后,她再也不到夜市买任何包包了。
